Now that I have some free time, I've decided to try and learn a bit more about trading stocks and shares. Currently just getting my head around it, I have an incredibly limited knowledge but am just trying to learn a bit more about the fundamentals, and how best to research companies.
From what little understanding I do have, it seems very different to investment decisions. I understand a lot more on instinct/research as opposed to investment ratios and comparisons etc.
Does anyone have any tips on how to research companies? I've spent the last hour or so browsing the internet, but there is so much information out there a little bit of guidance would be appreciated.
Do any of you guys play virtual trading games? If there is an interest, perhaps in the future we could set up a league?

/\ Relatively good intro to the basics, for anyone who wants to learn more
