I will take your advice. Of the money I will have, I will probably be investing maybe £500-£1000. It's small enough that I can risk losing half if I invest the bottom end, and just over 20% at the top end (unless I really mess up and hit a company that fails miserably), but the book I am currently studying on shares says not to go past 10% so inshaa Allah it'll be fine.

I am wary and will certainly be cautious when I invest, but the book I am currently reading is by an author who has a lot of credibility behind his name and his book has got nothing but extremely positive reviews so I am keeping some hope open that this is a possible.

Allahu A'lam, I look forward to giving it a shot, if it doesn't work out I will quit, I don't have suicidal tendencies to continue putting money on a failing prospect. If it works then Alhamdulillah we will see how it goes.

Brother, hope it goes well for you. But I would urge you again to refrain from investing. You cannot learn how to invest in stock markets buy reading books. It will give you a picture of what to lookout for and an idea of the different financial instruments out there. But unless you have an expertise on a particular sector or are involved in this sector yourself, the 'odds' are stacked against you/us.

Its not neceassarily the share that matters, its the the business and the structure of the business behind it which the share represents. How many shares are in issue - how many are on loan - how many are there fully subscribed? What are the clauses in place, largely hidden away to smallprint in some cases, that could trigger the full subscription (and dilute your holding making it worth less after exercize of warrants). What classes of share and what other liabilities are sitting somewhere dressed-up in jargon?

The amount of stuff they were doing back in the arly 00's was rather shocking (experience with a few like-minded friends), I can only imagine the web is even more tangled now. Judging by the the key players (banks, investment banks, finacial services firms) they are much more sophisticated at their deception now.

Allahu A'lam
