How you invest depends on your goals, your investment horizon, and your tolerance to risk.

However, you may wish to check out the stocksmonthly system.

Have already suffered by wasting time thinking too much. Takes no knowledge to buy index funds or etfs. The big stocks are moving most and so IFs and ETFs would have made you good money. No terms you need to know either. Don't trade/speculate- invest. ADx PEO EFA PGJ EWA open an acct with schwab.com & but them + SWINX + other index funds. nothing to know. Practice accts foolish as are strip bonds.

Start with companies that you are familiar with such as a supermarket that you shop at. Find out if it's stock is traded on a stock exchange. If it is, then order a copy of its annual report after going to their web site. The annual report should tell you the year in review and its prospects for the future. Find out its symbol for the stock exchange. Use the symbol at a web site such as CNBC.com and find out more before investing.

Do this, invest in American or Canadian strip bonds. the original amount of money you invest is guaranteed, that means that if the stock market fails the government guarantees the initial investment you put in so you can't loose any money. If stock market goes belly up you still get your original amount of money you have invested because its with the government. Trust me it works and you can put a certain amount of money in to purchase strip bonds that others are cashing in, which means you are buying their bond and are agreeing to hole it until it matures which means you get all the interest. Go for it you will be happy you did. Take care Heather

Read some of the basic books on stock investing, and visit www.fool.com. Some good books are "One Up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch, "Rule # 1" by Phil Town, and "The Intelligent Investor" by Ben Graham.

i lost $$$ on the market, so u prob. dont want my advice; but i think i can give you a few tips

1) practice first on a free virtual account (see link)
2) understand the basics (see links)...
3) obviously, BLASH (buy low and sell high)
4) use websites like scottrade.com or vanguard
5) DON'T USE BROKERS, unless you can 100% trust him/her

also try yahoo finance, msn money, and litwick.com

this is simple math that everyone should know:
lets say you buy 500 shares for $2.00 apiece; hence, 1000 dollars. Lets say total commission fees is fourteen bucks, for both buying and sellback. Hence, total costs are $1014.00. Thus, the break-even value (1014 divided by 500 shares) is exactly $2.028, but lets round up to $2.03 to be safe. Thus, you are gonna want to sell your original shares for over 3 cents higher. Certainly, the high the better, to maximize your profit (and compensate for all costs, like taxes and miscellaneous costs).

anyhow, let me end my answer here with two bits:
1) "do your homework" which means read up on the company's fundamentals (like its history, its competition, etc.)
2) if you are interested, also try to look for patterns in its price history (known as technical analysis; about 50% of modern investors believe this just bullcrap tho)

good luck, have patience; i'm no expert, but ive been in the trenches at least
