I have been thinking of starting an index tracker for some time now. I have been looking around for the cheapest and best place to get one. I have checked it out with my local bank and have been searching online as well and I was wondering whats the best youv seen out there??

Just looking at the differnet online accounts and theres so many hidden charges like inactive account charges!! Any one any ideas on which company has the best account. and also might it be better to get a real life broker who I can talk to and give me advice

Hi looking for some advice. I am new to this game, well when I say new I have been a keen onlooker for a time now and I have decided to get involved. Firstly I am going to take out a cash ISA which I think is a pretty sensible option. The next part I was thinking about and the one I am most unsure about is a stocks and shares ISA. Currently I was thinking the best option was to take out an Indextracker but as i have been doing my research I have come across some very conflicting arguments. Some prople think that the FTSE 100 has peeked and is going to go into decline from here on. Otheres think that it has still far to go?? I have also been told that it might be a good idea to place my bets on the Japanese stock market?? Or would I be better to scrap this idea and look at something else?? As you can see I am a bit confussed, any help will be greatly appreciated!! P.S And dont hold back...
