I wanna buy shares.
Not much, a few hundred quid to hold on to for a while. What's the cheapest way to do this? I see all sorts of fees all over the place, and given I'm just buying to hold, I don't want a monthly cost tied to it.
I struggled to make any head way with anything less that 1000 per trade
Fees in (flat fee)
Fees out (flat fee)
Spread loss on both buy and sell
No hold cost
It became clear I needed 10 percent increase to make anything and it wasn't worth it.
Even 500 pounds was tough.
I'm not joking when I say buying lego was/is better at values like 500 or less as can almost guarantee an increase
A few sets have doubled in less than 2 years
That's very very rare in stock market in normal times. However these aren't normal times
I don't know many platforms, just my experience.
