    http://touch.boards.ie/forum/859 this might be a better foum for your question.

    But if you do post there, the advice will be to slow down. Buying shares, no matter what age you are, is not a quick way to get rich. The number 1 rule is only invest what you can afford to loose. If you're plan is to make money to get you through college or buy a car then forget it. If you have an interest in stocks and shares then educated yourself a bit first.


    http://www.rte.ie/news/business/markets/iseq/ . Why don't you start here and pretend spend €2000 on any shares you fancy. Invest €500 in any four maybe. You could do a quick spread sheet to track your profit/loss. If you click on the company name it will give you a bit of info on what they do and their share history. Follow their progress for a while and see how you get on.

    (Mods may want to move this thread to the investment forum.)
