    Hope to start buying some shares through an online account.

    What site would be recommended for someone with very small initial capital of say 1000Euro?

    Zecco if you are ok just trading US shares, probably TD Waterhouse if you want options in other countries.

    IMO Zecco is easier to set up than TD Waterhouse, despite being in the US. Its only $5 per trade aswell with no extra fees (such as annual charges and all that stuff) , so its handy for small amounts!

    Hello Gurus. What about for someone wanting to "go long" on some companies we believe in? I'm not going to be trading much if at all. Maybe just cash up in a few years. Some British and Japanese stocks is what I"m interested in.
