Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good forum like SS but for investing in shares. I'm after unbiased opinions like we get on SS and also people speaking from experience rather than people trying to sell me stuff.
I was chatting to some of you a few months ago before my baby daughter was born looking for ideas for a good investment for her (she's now 2 months). See thread here http://somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88680
As we only have about $2K (which isn't enough for a house ) I am looking at starting a little share portfolio for her which we will add to when we can (on an irregular basis). The few options I know of out there are:
1) Direct shares
2) Managed Funds
3) DUI and AUI
4) Bonds (don't really understand these)
I guess I am also looking at avoiding huge fees, $2K is such a little amount.
Any help would be appreciated.
