100... 500... 1000....

Do you have a certain company in mind?... what can you afford? can you afford to lose money?

Have you looked at The Penny Share Market??? have you got a broker?

Have you considered spread betting? This way you avoid transaction costs which can make smaller gambles pointless.

Some spread betting firms do offer bets on many of the smaller stocks outside of the FTSE100

you cant put a number on the amount of shares yo have to buy to make money...

if a company has only 100 shares in it, then buying 50 shares gives you half of the company....

i the company has 200 shares, and you buy 50 you only own a quarter....

therefore you have to judge the price of the share, against the number of shares available (which values the company) and try an predict the share price going up or down.....

really you should just look at it as how much money you put in plus the percentage your shares grow....

over the long term invest in a big established company microsoft, apple, bskyb etc......in teh short term, only your guess is as good as mine

surely you only need 1 share in a company to make or loose money? Eg if you bought 1 share at say 2 pound and the next day it went up to 2.05, you have in theroy made 5 p (negating transaction costs etc)
