    Any advice on buying stocks on line? Amounts are not huge so no real need for broker. Or is bank prefered option?

    MOD EDIT: Edited to fix the absolutely terrible English! Where did you go to school?

    If you want easy and no hassle, check out Quinn Direct Freeway options. You can buy into one, pretty safe (as stocks go) it;s already diversified (in that market segment) and relatively low cost (1%pa)

    Anything further from this will require some reading of books and educating yoursel over a period of a few months.

    Definitely get into funds (such as Quinns Freeway funds, for example) rather than individual stocks. Cheaper & safer, and index tracking funds are likely to give just as good a return as DIY stock picking (more likely in fact, unless you're lucky enough to pick the next Microsoft before the rest of the investment world has heard of it).
