I've had a spark of interest in trading on the stock market... simply put, I don't know ANYTHING about it, yet...

Any advice to a newbie investor about the best ways to invest in low risk stocks? which brokers? what type of stock?

I'm more interested in using it as a kind of "savings" account as opposed to gambling...

Any advice? I'm in the UK, not sure if that makes a difference to online brokers available to me, I was looking at a Halifax ShareBuilder but not sure if thats the right way to go or not.

Thanks guys!
