Sounds a bit like amateur hour on here with the - made a few % shouts on this or that share/commodity/currency.
You are competing with people who have 100times the information you have and pay to get it ahead of you, you won't win long term and are gambling same as on horses. Don't let the odd lucky guess convince you that you have a clue.
You need a better strategy people or at least something stable for 80-90% of the pot and gamble the rest.

No need for a book. Depends on time to retirement but you need to consider the following:
1. Lowest cost index trackers you can find.
2. Consider HYP.
3. Compound interest.
4. Pound-Cost averaging.
5. Investment trusts.
6. Fixed interest (it's dull but a good idea).
7. HOLD YOUR NERVE !!
Think long term, get rich slowly. If you want some fun, use 10%, then it doesn't affect you or your family if it goes up in smoke...Comment
