I have always been interested in financial markets and have been keen to invest. Being still in the University I never had any substantial cash to seriously investment. Nevertheless now I want to start off with 5000 franks and invest in stocks primarily. Though I do not know how to proceed.

I will be happy if the veterans amongst you guide me how does one start off with buying stocks. Practical tips such as do I need to step up a separate account? which ones are good etc. what are the bloopers? and other tips..
