I want to get started in some small scale share trading... can anyone recommend me any sites I can do this dealing on?

I looked at that one but thought it was too expensive at £10 a trade... especially when I am starting off small with only £100

I am not looking to make money at the moment... just play around and practice like eXor mentioned.

They are doing a 2 month commission free offer - would that be good for me :confused:

Get into sports betting

The only fee is a commission of 5% on winnings only and no tax for Mr. Brown

I don't like gambling... true shares are a form of gambling but it can also be said that they are business

Get rich quick scheme?

Maybe... although the get rich scheme is quite appealing, for that to work you have to have the money to invest in the first place, which I don't. I am just trying to learn something new...

If you want to practice trading then why do you need to do it with real money? Just choose what shares you want to buy and pretend you've bought them.

It just doesn't seem real enough... I think you tend to think more when its real money, and you actually put your mind to it. You have to start somewhere
