So after my little dabble in stocks and shares after the seminar that I went to, I decided that I wanted to investigate this a little further. I'd already signed up for a demo spread betting account and despite my thorough analysis of the candlewick graphs I was still finding it a bit hit and miss as to whether I made money or lost it. In came Martlet Equity Management with a course I'd bought online via Groupon. Alex covered everything we needed to know from stocks and shares, spread betting, investment strategies to risk management, and even made sure we understood UK financial regulation and rules.
Lets just say it's a little complicated but nothing a well informed person can't take a little time to figure out. I already know in life it's best to be patient and disciplined but one thing I'm not good at is not panicking. I like to worry, well, like is a strong sentiment but worrying seems to like me at least. When it's to do with potential loss of your initial investment, panic is likely to set in. Anyway, I feel like I'm much better informed after the session with Alex and even more ready to jump in. He made some good recommendations and gave us advice on what we should do initially. Preparation is the key. I just have to find some time to do a little research every week. I think I'll start with getting The Times delivered to me every Sunday so I can check out the stocks and shares. Familiarity in this case does not breed contempt. Onwards and upwards
