New share investor

[ajandjjmum]

DS is interested in starting a (very!) small portfolio with his 18th birthday money.

Is there a simple way to do this, without using an expensive broker?

Any interesting tips out there?!!

Very grateful for any guidance.

Do you work for the company by any chance?

You have posted on multiple threads today about how wonderful it is...

It's all a bit obvious IMHO.

Did you know that advertisers have to pay a fee?

[mumadoo]

actually Whippet no i don't.

I had just used it recently and found it really useful and so I thought I would post it on the investment threads where I thought it might be helpful to others.

Nice to know there's are trusting nature amongst fellow Mums though.... perhaps you should spend more time caring for your children than taking on a self appointed vetting role for new mums on mumsnet

So as a new poster you felt the need to post the link to this website on 13 (many old) threads all within the 'Investment' topic?

No other posts.
No other topics.

Sorry. Don't buy it.

(P.S. Crap site anyway folks - I did check!)

you despicable woman

I never said i felt the need, merely that i wanted to try and help out. And investing is something I had done recently and so something I decided to post in relation to!

Just because you have been on here for 10 years does not give you the right to be rude. I wouldn't take it upon myself to trawl through your posts and try and discredit you.

I hope the other mothers can see through your distasteful and unhelpful comments. I'm sure with your long track record you must have a reputation on this site for being an annoying busy body.

Cyber bullying is something, as a mother, I feel we should be trying to prevent, but here you are making me feel like a second class user of this site!
