Hello,

I also had a similair problem as you have.
I had a good amount of money, and wanted it to grow.
So I looked around on the internet to find something that is:
1) giving me great returns towards a relatively small risk

2) Professional people who know what they where doing with my money.

I'm glad to say I finally found a moneymanager who is capable of giving me good returns and give me a great support.
On this blog you can follow up all the results that he is making:

Then I'll give you the email adress of my moneymanager

Hope this has helped you!

First you should invest slowly and over time. That way, if the market crashes one day, not all of your assets will crash along with it. Next you should try to invest in tax advantaged accounts. 401K's if your employer offers them. If not, then in IRA's. Money that goes into these accounts are not taxed and grow untaxed. And 401K's are usually matched at least in part by your employer. And as a beginning investor you're better off investing in mutual funds rather than individual stocks.

Julie provided excellent advice.

Perhaps the most important thing you can do is base your decisions on good information using a strategy that you develop.

So, that means, your first investment should be in your own education on investing. Go to the library, read up. Look at books written by author Larry Swedroe, he's a solid source.

Your employer's retirement plan, especially if they put a match in, is a great and easy investment.

I have been a single homeowner since I was 23, and it is proving to be a very worthwhile investment as well. Now is a great time to by, and there are programs to help you get into your first home without much or even any down payment.

Mutual funds are safer than playing the stock market.

Your first option, should be to open a retirement account. This is always a good investment, regardless
of who you are.

If you have fully funded your retirement account and would like other options, you should consider a DRIP Plan.

They are seldom recommended by brokers due to the low rate of commissions received. However, these
reinvestment plans can be very powerful long-term investments. Studies have shown that DRIP's are one of
the best strategies on Wall Street.

They are inexpensive and easy to start. New investors to the stock market should definitely consider a DRIP Plan.

Companies like Toyota, Royal Canadian Bank, Sony, Bank of America, General Electric and many other Blue Chip
Stocks can be purchased through your DRIP Plan, with as little as 1 share in most cases.

These long-term plans are great for beginners as well as veterans. Check them out.

Open an IRA. Roth IRA if you make under $110,000 and traditional IRA if you make more than that. Put in the maximum each year. For 2007, you can put in $4,000 before April 15. For 2008, you can put in $5,000. Try to put in the maximum every year.

Buy a Vanguard target date retirement (whatever year you will be 65). It's diversified so you won't have to watch it. It will automatically hold the right number of stocks and bonds based on your age.

Before any one jumps in and tries to buy stock, they must first decide if they are going to be a trader or an investor. (A trader is very short term holder of a stock â€“ 1 minute to 3 months, an investor is a 6 months and beyond holder). Decide on how much capital you have available for investing/trading and how much of that are in going to spend. (You should never spend 100% of you investing/trading capital on a particular stock. Decide what industry in want. Look for good trades/investments in that industry and move with caution.
If you want to trade, NEVER NEVER, go into a trade without knowing where (or when) you are getting out of it. If youâ€™re an investor, look for good company fundamental.

Start your life in the investment world by educating yourself. The first investment you should make is in yourself and the best investment you can make is in education.

Start your investing/trading education by learning why you should invest, and the importance of being able to make your own decisions. See how the pros have done it. Start by reading, What Works on Wall Street by James O'Shaunessey, Beating the Street and One Up on Wall Street both by Peter Lynch, The Warren Buffett Way by Robert Hagstrom, Trading For A Living by Alexander Elder â€“ â€œHow to Make Money in Stocksâ€ by William Oâ€™Neil and The Disciplined Trader by Mark Douglas.

Get into the habit of making daily visits to some websites like MSN Money and Yahoo Finance. While at MSN read the Commentaries by Jim Jubak, Jon Markman, Harry Domash, and Liz Pullman Weston. Following the strategy lab analysts to get a feel for what the proâ€™s are doing and why. This site has some basic information for beginners. If any site offers free information, take it.
Other website that can provide instructions and help with procedures and terminology are Investopedia.com, Stock Charts.com, and 1source4stocks.com
Visit some of the more professional websites like Zacks.com, Smart Money, Schaeffers.com, Trading Trend, Trading Markets, these website will have advertisers who are worth looking into also. And remember, if they offer free information, get it.

Attend all the free seminars you can, just be careful and donâ€™t get pressured into anything you really donâ€™t want or need. Most schools offer courses in finance and economics, but very few will have courses on the mechanics of the investment markets, if they do try taking the course. You may want to consider on-line courses, the New York Institute of Finance use to have such courses. Try to get some fee information from the stocks exchanges they all have (had) free booklets, SIAC and some of the regulators (NASD SEC MSRB CBOE) may provide some free literature.

What do you need to go into the market?
1 - A written sound trading/investment plan with rules that will not only help you but more importantly protect you, mostly from yourself.
2 - Sufficient trading/investment capital. Use your own money, thereâ€™s no need to go into debt so that you trade/invest.
3 - A written money management program in place. Remember never invest 100% of your capital into any one security.

You at least have made the right decision to start investing, this is the first big step and it wonâ€™t be your last. Keep taking those steps forward and along the way never take the advice from people that are not in the market or try to tell you not to invest. Good luck on your journey

you should try http://www.goldenbullstocks.com

You should start a small business if you have lump sum money. you may also give that money on loan on a good interest rates against the gold ornaments....

I would go with the person that answer on Education. Read Read Read.. doesn't matter how much or how little money you have. It is your money. A lot of people that give advice on investment are BROKE. Don't listen to anyone who is not in a better financial place than you are or where you want to be. Read "why we want you to be rich" by Donald Trump and Robert T. Kiyosaki. Then decide what you want to do with your money. Get advice from people with $$$. you have a great start. Be successful from the beginning by taking advice from people with money.

Depends on how much money you have to invest. If you have under 500k look for a money manager with experience , and a good track record and invest your money with him, you expect returns of 5-15%. If you have a few million investing in a hedge fund is the way to go , but if you are more comfortable with taking risks and are looking for bigger returns investing in a start-up company is what i recommend.
