Screen blindness
Having spent my first night as a virgin trader I woke with a headache after staying up way too late starring at my laptop, trying to make some sense out of the hundreds of sites covering the stock markets. Live feed sites, sites offering technical stats and graphs, business commentary pages and blogs as well as dozens of get rich quick scams.
However it was not all time wasted, I did come across a few helpful ones including:
http://www.iii.co.uk (lots of good stuff here. 15 minute feeds, sector news and commentary etc)
http://www.google.com/finance (looks good)
http://www.advfn.com (more live prices and great research tools)
http://www.shareprice.co.uk (another good site)
Apart from that I have just finished (in record time for me) a beginners book called ‘The New Investor’s Toolbox’. A little out of date now but perfect for the beginner like me.

good luck on the journey. I have also been thinking about share trading which is how I came across your blog. I did check out advfn.com but there is an awful lot going on on the homepage. shareprice looks a lot easier to understand.
Sharewatch (I think) is another good site.

Steve,
Just quickly looked at Sharewatch and will add it to my list. Looks useful.
Yes advfn.com does look a bit complicated at first but I think it is worth trying to get your head around it. It’s got tons of good info.
Thanks
