Not that I even have a stock-broker I could just ring and buy shares through - how do you do that anyway?

I'm working for the SIVs at the moment, so no! It's so illiquid you can see cracks appearing in the pavement. The world has changed 3 days in a row now, no reason to think it's going to stop changing anytime soon. Although it's risky (the Fed with it's rescues etc is basically making the shareholders pay by wiping them out) a good day trade is probably the biggest short-term prize at the moment for the private investor. Mind you things are so volatile you could almost day trade a couple of spot FX at the moment...
