Best way to make small investment in AIM listed PLC.

[GPT]

Hello,

I want to dip my toe in the water with share dealings and am looking for the easiest and cheapest way to make a small <£200 investment in a company listed on AIM (I have one in mind that looks worth a punt).

I have seen various websites that offer online share trading at fixed prices per transaction but am a bit unsure which to use and what to look out for.

Any tips much appreciated.

I am located in the UK if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance.

the easiest way is probably through the stockbroking bit of your bank I would have thought, or just sign up with any cheap online stockbroker.

if you are only inevsting £200 then of course bear in mind that the thing will need to move around 10% for you to break even after stamp duty/commission and prob. wide spread if it is an Aim tiddler.

£200 is a bit small fry for an AIM listed company, let me know if you want any broker research on them or analyst recomedations as I have access to everything.

But remember you will also be charged £7 - £15 depending on the broker to place the order plus all necessary taxes.

Thanks for all your help.

My 'insider information' came from the Telegraph a couple of weeks ago.

I'm just looking for more interesting things to do with spare cash than stick them in 2.5% ISA. I'm not averse to a bit of risk if it's relatively small sums involved.

Your insider trading came from the Telegraph!!!!

Propbably the worst place to get some info as not only will very tom dick and harry allready no about it, but anyone who has access to a news wire that updates throughout the day would of got in and would be on there way out as you were about to buy.

Never trust these sort of articles you'll always get stung.
