Yes, but the commissions on the order will be a very large percentage of the cost and you may wish to not have to pay so much. The minimum commission that I know of is about 3 pounds to buy and 3 ponds to sell. So your net amount to invest is only 47 pounds. But if you have a hankering for a share trading at about 4 pounds, you can easily purchase 11 shares.

Yes you can but you will have to pay a fee usually to the stock broker. Also £50 wouldn't buy you many shares. But you do have to start somewhere. Give it a go.
You might want to try tracking shares for a few weeks before you buy into them.
Some people like to invest long term in the shares of a company, while other prefer "day Trading" which is buying and selling shares per day i.e. they buy some shares and if the value goes up by a £1 then they sell out or buy other shares.

Sure - you would best to go to a discount brokerage. Most of the money will be eaten up by brokerage fees.
You will end up buying penny stock, which is a really speculative investment.
You could buy 1 share in a big blue chip company and then register the share in your name and get a stock certificate and then enroll in their share purchase plan. This allows you to buy a few shares at a time and reinvest the dividends. It can be a great savings plan. If there is a company you are interested in check their web site and look through the investor info to see if they have such a plan. Most of the big, more established companies do. Most do not charge a fee to buy shares this way.

Yes, decide on what shares you want and then you will find that they are a certain price per share.All shares are valued differently.
