Beginner with £200

Hey @MegaRhinoKing

Great to hear people starting young. I’m not sure what to suggest in terms of practice other than practicing how to ignore market fluctuations, and checking emotional reactions. This is easier said than done. I nearly panic sold when a share I had a few thousand of crashed a few weeks ago :see_no_evil: It’s worth checking out this video by Morgan Housel.

In terms of research there’s a book thread, and The ultimate list of investing books, podcasts and blogs which contain some great recommendations.

Additionally Freetrade have created some awesome articles on investing. Furthermore there’s a Weekend Read* email which breaks up topics into smaller weekly chunks.

Having said that, like the comments above say, the best way to invest is to contribute what you can every month to a low cost ETF. It’s very boring, there will never be a movie montage of it, but it works :slightly_smiling_face:

*Off topic: What happened to the Weekend Read email on 27/04?
