Stock Trading
Day trading is a tricky world to negotiate. No amount of theory can replace real world experience in the world of money and investments and a mistake that seems minor can have devastating consequences. The problem with mathematical models is that they don't always take the human element into account. So you definitely want to pay attention to what's actually going on around you and how real world events can affect your money.

Invest in a tax-free ISA
ISAs: Individual Savings Accounts
In the UK Individual Savings Accounts or ISAs are little more than an official tax-wrapper into which other investments may be hidden from the tax-man, but they are a useful way to reduce tax. This article is about the advantages and disadvantages of ISAs, what can be invested in them and the alternatives. The rules for ISA (Individual Savings Accounts) have changed recently, so here is a review of this valuable tax-avoidance scheme for investments ranging from lower risk cash, gilts/governm...

HMV: The Last Music Shop on the UK High-Street
Can HMV, The Last High Street Music Store, Survive?
HMV is the last remaining music shop chain on Britain's High Streets. Virgin and Our Price record shops all closed down, as did most independent record shops and now HMV's future is looking decidedly shaky too. I had high hopes for HMV shares. In my current role as a boring value Investor, (which seems like the only safe strategy at the moment) HMV did look like a good, "contrarian", high-yield bet. But HMV is turning into a "Value Trap": a share that looks too good to be true which just get...

Nassim Nicholas Taleb Black Swan and Other Great Books
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Nassim Nicholas Taleb is the author of several excellent and thought provoking books about how we generally incorrectly perceive risk in life and in financial systems. His recent and probably most famous book "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable" was published before the current financial mess fully came to public awareness and in many ways predicted a lot of the problems in the financial system. Here is a quote from his web-site: "My major hobby is teasing people who take th...

Dont Pay The Bankers: Low Cost Mutual Funds
How to Avoid Being Ripped Off by The Financial Services Industry
If you go to a financial advisor and ask for help investing your money, in general their advice will be biased towards products that pay them the most commission rather than ones that will benefit you the most. At best this is immoral at worst it is fraud, but for decades they have been getting away with it. In the UK the Financial Services Authority (FSA) will soon make some of their worst practices illegal, but even so the industry's main objective is to relieve you of most of your money an...

Investing for Retirement: Personal Pensions and SIPPs
Investing for Retirement with a (UK) Personal Pension
Pensions are extremely important, but very boring and tend to be neglected until it is too late. Personal Pensions, SIPPs (Self Invested Personal Pensions) and Stakeholder Pensions are not the only way to financially prepare for life after work, but are certainly one useful method of building up a nest-egg for retirement. Personal Pensions are restrictive in that you cannot get your money until a certain age (currently 50, but due to rise to 55) and even then you cannot have full access to i...

How NOT to lose everything in the stock market.
How NOT to lose everything in the Stock Market
Many people avoid investing in the stock market because they feel it is too risky. The truth is, it is not as risky as you may think as long as you adhere to some very strict money and risk management rules. The rules that I will discuss mainly apply to those that are buying and selling stocks every few days or so, swing traders, day traders, etc., not so much for the buy and hold investor.
