Hi my name Is Crawford and I’m 25 years old. Originally from South Africa but raised in Spain. Now living in the UK. I have held a few stocks in the past but haven’t really been aware what I was doing and this morning I found out about Freetrade. Im very excited to get involved and learn the inner workings of it all.

Is there any particular information I should look into first?

Hi. Total noob here, investigating something I’ve been curious about for several years, and thinking that learning these ropes might also help to keep my brain active. I am sure there is tons of good advice available here if I dig long and far enough, but for starters I’m just gonna pick a few companies I like the look of and dabble to see what happens. :smiley:

Hi Everyone, Barclay here

Just invested in the latest round as a cheeky bit of fintech

I see you can gain free shares if you recruit new people to the cause- I reckon I could get a fair few of my friends to sign up, how do I get a code?

Good evening all,

I’m Rich, born in Nottingham (perhaps I should really be using Robinhood haha) but grew up and currently reside in London - I am fairly new to investing as the name suggests!

Having spent the majority of my career in real estate I have no traditional finance education whatsoever but this year decided its about time I learnt to make my money work for me.

I have been on and using the Freetrade platform since January and decided to document my journey on a my blog complete-novice.com

I intend to regularly update the blog with monthly portfolio updates but also share what I learn throughout the process.
