Top man!

Although not so sure about my original prediction of 50p in May after all the recent firesale and downsizing talk. Maybe 50p in December?

But daytrading wise, it bobs backwards and forwards nicely, just a question of timing and dumping before it falls back again - which it will

lol hmmm, bloody Euro crisis! Bailed out of RBS, especially now they are voting to mess about with the shares to try and fudge the price to £1 by amalgamating and giving out defferred shares.

Been having a great run with Lloyds this year, as they have been bouncing up and down, although misjudged my last buys as it seems to have gone south

Lloyds currently 27.30, so not sure whether to top up some more now, or see if it will slide further.

Slightest bit of good news and you will see it bounce up a few pence. These city trader people seem to be a nervy fickle bunch

There is no point in buying shares and then selling them for a profit because you have to pay tax!

Spread betting the financial markets is the way to do it because there is no tax as (UK) it is classed as gambling. But you have to understand how the financial markets work and this takes time and a lot of study. Fundamentals and/or trends - forex, shares, options and others to choose from.......

Do not buy these software programs that say they can predict the market because it is total rubbish sold to the gullible. Do it the right way and you will make money.

Start off by studying the market and how it works - buy some good books and put in the effort.

Only once you have gone over your £10,600 CGT allowance. Not quite in Gecko country just yet.

Spread betting always seemed a bit more complicated and riskier to me, rather than having an occasional punt.

Like you say, if you have the time to learn all about it, no doubt you an get some great rewards. Mind you, I've heard that said about horse racing
