    To play it safe i'd go through the banks....no threat of losing you're money then...However others disagree!

    For trading in the US I use Choicetrade.com $5 per share.

    Easy to use.

    I use http://www.sharewatch.com. Its easy and cheap. If you know what you want to buy you deposit the money and go online and buy. It is cheap to use becasue it doesn't supply any first hand knowledge its exacuateion only.

    But you're running a risk of them going broke aren't you? It's all nominee a/c with them so its a sustained risk at that.

    £7 a share doesn't seem that hot...
