complete beginner to share market - questions, page-23

If the 5K is from your hard earn saving, consult your GP first to prescribe months supply of sleeping pills before getting help from HC if you want to punt on the share market ATM..

If the 5K is a gift from your ex boyfriend..Put ALL on a speccy stock and you may be a very rich woman one day..

Basically, you only invest / punt on the money you are prepared to lose as 5K is lots of money for some people. 5K is only good for specy stocks IMO.
