Portfolio Game

What is the minimum investment required to build a decent share portfolio? I received a bonus from work and have £3000 available to invest. Rather than just putting it into a cash ISA I am considering opening an online sharedealing account and investing in shares. However, even the cheapest online brokers charge a flat fee of around £8-10 per trade. I don't mind a moderate degree of risk, but I get the feeling that after trading fees are deducted I will struggle to beat the performance of a tracker fund or even a normal savings account even if I make good stock selections (and this is by no means guaranteed!) Is there a general rule of thumb for the mimimum amount of money that a private investor should have before they consider investing directly in the stock market? Should I just stick with a cash savings account, or possibly tracker / mutual funds?

Create your own Foreign Stock Share portfolio?? Would it br profitable to buy stock shares from foreign stock exchanges short term? NOT REFERING TO ADRs! NO ETFs! LETS SIDESTEP CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS! I mean like the London stock exchange, the Frankfurt stock exchange, the Mexican, and Russian stock exchanges, others. If you look at the various exchange websites some of the stocks on them have very high returns, even higher than USA stocks. Why not put together a portfolio of each of the HIGHEST returning stocks -one from each exchange based on INTRADAY and WEEKLY returns? Why would this not work? Would it cost too much?

No error code given. The problem occurs with Yahoo finance when I try to access my major share portfolio.? My account contains 5 portfolios. The 3 smallest contain less than 10 lines and never give the error message. The next is my watch list and it varies between 10-20 lines; usually this is OK but lately it has been difficult. My main portfolio contains 94 shares and it has become increasingly difficult to access over the last 2 weeks. Usually if I try to enter through a different route I can open the page but for the last couple of days I can sometimes open it once but lose it when I seek information about a single share. Then I can't get back in and usually have to shut down then start again.

How do you recognize a loss on a Yahoo portfolio? For example, I sold shares of a stock at a loss and used the money to repurchase shares of another stock. I have removed the old stock from the portfolio added the new stock (with purchase price and # of shares) to the portfolio, but now a total gain/loss does not reflect the loss of the sold stock. I am almost certain I am doing something stupid here. Hmm, but if I simply changed that stock to 0 shares, it also removes it from the gain/loss calculation.

I think that the number of shares times the price of short put is added to the portfolio value, but the number of shares times the price of long put is subtracted from the portfolio value.

When managed by a competent portfolio manager, what is the average rate of returns? If I begin investing, what is the average rate of returns will I get if I hire a competent portfolio manager to manage my investment?
