Hey all,
I have about 100k in cash currently and i want to invest it. I also have a very high paying job where i will have a minimum of 5k per month to invest.
I'm looking for advice on what would be the best thing to do.
some details first:
I'm thinking long term (10yrs +) - Not in this for the short run, I'm not a novice to knowing how the stock market works etc - read a couple of the popular investing books ("one up on wall..." "a random walk...") and know that this is a long term game.
I'm young - 23 - no children yet, have very little expenses, no debt, etc, so i can afford to be quite aggressive in my selections. however, at the same time i do want some low to medium risk index fund type stuff in there, at least to start.
I'd like to control the money i put in every month myself so some kind of online brokerage site would be ideal. one where i can move money from my internet banking or something into pretty easily whenever i want, no paperwork, no ringing up brokers and whatnot. I want something simple that i can manage myself. I see Sharewatch mentioned a bit here - would that be the best thing for me? Are there other sites better? Should i use an Irish site? etc etc
To start off i won't be putting money into individual shares, more like the iseq, s&p500 type stuff preferably until i get comfortable and more knowledgable about individual shares.
forgive me for not using the search but i wanted to get the most up to date info on what people are using to invest via an online broker.
any and all help appreciated. thanks.
