Dipping my toes into the UK Stock Markets!

As the title suggests, tomorrow I shall be taking the plunge into the UK Stock Markets.

I go into this with very basic knowledge and understanding. The plan is to invest £50/month for 1 year.

This is starting off as a bit of fun, but hopefully after 1 year of learning the ins and outs of it, I will be in a better position to take this more seriously and actually make some money.

I have registered with an online broker, Hargreaves Lansdown and will be deciding where to invest my initial £50 tomorrow.

Can anyone offer me any advice? Mainly any online material that I can use to help me along my journey?

    Dude, you would be better off saving up for a year then investing £600.

    You will be lucky to find a broker that charges less than £10 a deal.

    Ah yes it appears I got a bit mixed up. I thought you could invest monthly into shares, but that applies to funds, not shares. So yes will be silly to pay a £10 fee for a £50 investment.

    I'll wait until I can invest at least £500 before doing this. In the mean time, I'll sift through some material online to help be better prepared for when I'm ready to invest.

    Anyone have any recommendations for forums or teaching tools on this subject?

    I've googled but unsure which ones are good.
