For someone starting out, what type of account would be best to start with? I was considering a spread betting account, as they seem to have very tight spreads and are 'tax-free' at the moment. Another place I was looking at was GCITrading for their mini-accounts. Btw, I have 2-5k tuition to play with, so it'll be a small account.
therefore it shouldn't be a big issue. Only a small one. What I am saying is, it doesn't matter. Got it?
