    There are a couple of things you could do.:D

    Look at yahoo finance?

    What market are you talking about?

    You could do a night course:p

    A weekend course, TICN comes to mind but there are more?

    I did one recently a one day one. It was good.:cool:

    There is a book called "the little book that beats the market"


    If you are buying irish shares there is not just losing your money there is stamp duty and agents fees.

    So say you buy 1000euro of irish shares and between buying and selling charges and stamp duty it cost you 100euro.

    You have to make more than 10% to make a profit!!:confused:

    Did that not set alarm bells off in your head when you decided to purchase shares?

    Why do you think RTE or so good.:D

    There could be online sites more up to date than rte.

    It is perfectly possible that some dozy in there just makes it up based on what they read in the times?

    Its perfectly possible that they have no track record on accuracy.

    Could you shadow box for a month or two first

    Set up what you would buy and how much based on rte today and check it again in a month. If in a month you would have lost your shirt its time for plan B.

    Still better you do it your self than hand it to some broke broker who will make you brokeer than he is!!

    Been there done that no money left over for the t shirt:mad:

    the rte reports come from dolmen,ncb,goodbodys and davy stockbrokers and are updated everyday, i am assuming that between them they know a hell of alot more than me, and i have been sitting back and watching for about 4 months, also reading the posts here is very helpfull
