"But like gambling...you could lose £700 tomorrow  "
That is very true! However it all boils down to research and selecting the right company, I've lost £6.20 that's been it so far! Could have been worse if I didn't have a stop loss in place! |

"I would have thought you need quite a lot to play with in order to be able to make that kind of money so easily"
£3000 I put in, but the company gives its share holders dividends each year so your making profit from that anyway,but again just need to select the right companies who's share prices won't fall too low or a company that won't be going bust in the future or has a very slim chance |

Haha even so! I started with £100 as it was my first trade and I managed to turn that too £150 in a few months granted it's not massive amount over that time period but you have to start somewhere I guess |

"If I was punting 3 grand, I'd rather chance my luck on the AIM ....
Dividend yield on a £3000 investment ain't going to make anyone rich "
AIM shares a so risky though, and no your not going to get rich but on a bigger scale say 7 years time? Obviously you have to keep putting money in I try and manage £400 a month now until I hit the £3000 mark then invest that lump some |

Indeed you do and good luck too you....
I've traded via a nominee account for over 30 years and enjoyed the highs and lows , but fortunately it's just been a hobby for me rather than a means of earning a living or risking my financial security ..... |

Dont put all your eggs in one company.
I wouldnt get excited over £700 it is possible to have a good income.
But look at it long term £700 isnt going to pay your bills for long.
Buy good shares on a bad day |

I knew a bloke who blew the best part of £200k by trading. For some, it has the same appeal and compulsion as gambling. Actually, it is gambling. |

Yes AIM share are very risky.... 
I once owned shares in a diamond mining company which I bought of 3/4 of a pence each, which ran to the dizzy heights 27p a share the day before the company liquidated ....  |

No different to "professional gamblers" - I guess it's a cool hobby, but when people smugly say they do it for a living, as if it requires any skill or intelligence, it annoys me. |

Yeah I understand that, its something that I put a lot of pennies into each month, I try to save around £3000 mark before investing that lump some into a company of my choosing I'm currently invested with 2 companies at the minute each and in a few months I hope too be 3 if those 3 companies make me £700 that's £2100, if I can hit my target and find 2 companies each year on the basis I put in £400 a month 7 years time that's 14 companies with around £3000 invested in each, IF they do make say £700 each that would be a total profit of £9800 in 7 years, the total value would then be £51800 this of course dosent include dividends,obviously that is slightly optimistic and you can loose money but this is the reason we have stop losses I suppose |

Not smugly just spreading the word to say it's possible I sat there and at first just thought it's gambaling, I'm not intelligent enough to do it, all these things crossed my mind it shouldn't be that way people should give it ago! |

"When you've got to go on the internet to brag to strangers about money, you know you've hit an all time low."
Not bragging far from just simply spreading the word that it can be done! People shouldn't have fears about doing it! If I was to brag about it I'd go about it in a different way! Just simply trying to show and explain to people it can be done! |

I used to get mailing through about penny shares, I wonder if that was really all it was hyped up to be.
If it didn't take a really long time and was reasonably easy to do I would be someone interested as I always have been drawn to stocks and shares.
I feel like I wouldn't have enough to make a worthwhile investment and I wouldn't have a clue what I was doing either. |

See this is why I posted this topic up because I bet there's a lot of people thinking along them sort of lines! It can be done!! Didn't want it too come across as bragging I'm not that way enclined!! |

Back in my day (the Stone Age) it was common for school children to play a game in which they would be given an imaginary small pot of money to invest in the stock market over the course of 6 months.
They regularly outperformed professional investors.
I did well. I chose company names that I liked. |

So this company went up 23% in one day?
If you can find a company that does that everyday, then you can make £700 /day on £3k investment. But, that's not really possible.
To claim £700 /day ,even on good research, you need substantially more invested.

That's not on a daily basis that's what my current stock price is at now, 23% each day isn't possible |

Whilst I am glad that you have a profit , investing in shares is long term. No one can pedict the future .
Whilst the returns on shares are the best that you can get , I would never gamble on short term movements . |

When you say it can be done your gain is someone elses loss.
No one can predict the future. Very few shares move significantly upwards in a day unless a takeover is announced .
To make significant gains from shares you will need to be invested over a thirty year period |

Trading in stocks won't make you rich unless your invested companies continuously keep on rising which is never the case.
I'm thinking of going into spread betting or dealing in fx. Anyone got experience of these? |

Our eldest son does it for a living at a leading American company in London, and I think he's not exactly short on intelligence after having a great education.....You do come across as bitter at times

"For a share's value to rise by £700 in one day, you'd need about £150,000 invested. "
Look at my question above and the OP answer. I think he actually means today they are worth £700 than when he started.
Quite different. Nice, but not a work from home opportunity unfortunately. |

It's a good sideline if you have a decent job and are looking to invest some of your savings, but I agree it's not a stand alone career to operate from home... |

For an annual income of £35000 you would need to have one million pounds invested in Stocks and Shares.

Never invest in stocks and shares what you are not prepared to lose. It is a simple rule but one I always abide by.
I have a number of investments and realised just over £300 today on an original book value of £547 made back in Jun. Sounds impressive but a number of my other investiments are currently in the red. You have to play the long game when dealing in shares. |

I don't understand stocks and shares enough to make me want to invest.
I have £13,000 invested in P2P @ 12%.
It's all at risk, so my invested can go down aswell as up.
12% beats the banks interest handsdown, so in my opinion it's worth the risk. |
