The best way to buy and sell shares
Article Abstract:
Techniques for buying and selling shares depend on the amount available for investment. Shares can be bought directly through a stockbroker, or through an intermediary such as a bank or building society. However, pension and life insurance provisions should be made before share purchasing, and a supply of emergency money with instant access is a higher priority than buying shares. It is safer to spread the risk by investing in a minimum of ten firms, with at least a thousand pound sterling invested in each firm. People wanting to invest small amounts should bear in mind the indirect investment opportunities offered by investment and unit trusts.

Article Abstract:
There are many different options available in the UK for buying and selling shares. It is possible to pay for a discretionary management service, with the stockbroker managing the investments and issuing a report periodically. It is usually necessary to have a portfolio worth at least 50,000 pounds sterling. Other options include seeking a stockbroker's advice on individual shares and using an execution-only service. Most execution-only services are telephone-based.

Article Abstract:
Although an increasing number of people are entitled to state benefits, many do not claim. Benefits go up in value in Apr 1993. Some people can obtain help with mortgage payments. Everyone should register as unemployed even when not claiming financial support, as automatic credits provide entitlements which may be required in the future. Benefits Agency systems are improving, although they still take a long time to process applications.
