1-don't invest without investment plan on paper. plan your investment, and invest just on what you'd plan. otherwise you'll end up going everywhere but nothing to gain.
2-invest only with your surplus money. investing needs money, but don't risk everything. the last you want to do is, 'forced' to sell stock for medical bill (so much happen to beginner).
3-don't buy on tips, as most of the time it is just a way to boost stock price (and you caught victim). do research, and i'll bet you, it is well worth. |

I would do your investing inside a 401k or Roth IRA if you can, or a traditional IRA if you can't. That way, your trades will be tax free.
I would recommend Jim Cramer's book REAL MONEY as a good way to get started. Also watch his MAD MONEY show on CNBC. If this is all too much, you should stick to mutual funds rather than individual stocks. |

My best advice for someone completely new to investing is to visit vanguard.com. You will a lot about your own risk/reward tolerance. I would first learn about ETFs, index funds, and mutual funds.
This is because investing directly in "individual" stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice and is very hard for a beginner who has no knowledge of the markets. Funds will greatly reduce your risk starting out. |

It's very wise to be thinking this way at your age
I would buy a few books on the Stock Market before you start trading individual equities.
Vanguard.com has lots of information on the stock market.
Also a great free website on investing: www.fool.com (as in The Motley Fool)
I would start off with a vanguard S&P 500 index fund, and then branch out into individual equities or more specialized mutual funds.
You will also need a broker account to start trading equities. I prefer TD Ameritrade. You can also check out Scottrade, Charles Schwab, and E*Trade to name a few. |

Dear Steven: I've included a quick and dirty guide to getting started in the stock market below. In addition to the other advice I give, I really like Apple (AAPL) as a long term holding right now. I wouldn't throw all of my money into it, but if you stick in a little now I think you'll be pleased. (Also note that I--and anyone else you'll ever ask for stock market advice--could be wrong.)
You can find lots of good books on investing in any good bookstore or library. Investopedia.com and Morningstar.com also have a lot of good information.
Getting started in the stock market is actually very easy.
1) Open a brokerage account.
Check out a broker called Zecco (www.zecco.com). The company doesn’t charge a fee to buy or sell stock, doesn’t have a minimum balance, and won’t charge you a fee just for having an account open. Tradeking (www.tradeking.com) and Scottrade (www.scottrade.com) are other options.
2) Buy shares in an exchange traded fund. These are basically mutual funds that trade on the stock market, effectively allowing you to own a little stock in a large number of companies with a single trade. Two prominent examples are the iShares fund (IVV) and the SPDR fund (SPY) both of which hold all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 (a listing of the main US stocks). Both funds have very low costs and should track the performance of the stock market closely.
3) Sit back, relax and do nothing. The stock market averages a 10-12% return over long periods of time. Over 30 years an investment growing at 12% a year will increase 30 times (ie a $1,000 investment will be worth just under $30,000). Just keep adding more cash to your account whenever you can and don’t panic if the market drops a bit.
You can also look into buying individual stocks, but either of these funds will make a great core holding. |

Yes you are correct. But better to invest in forex rather than stocks.
Because forex trading is more profitable than stock exchange.
If you want to do forex trading means you must open an demo account and start demo trading for 6 months then start with your own money |

Before you dive into it, get a feel of the market by tracking a mock portfolio on a site such as finance.yahoo.com (or even on a spreadsheet). While you research companies for good stocks, monitor your portfolio to see how your picks are. Also, stockcharts.com has information on technical indicators and stock predictions, which I found was interesting and informative. |

Hello,
the first thing you need is decide how much money are you going to invest. Second, you need to open an account to invest. There are several companies you can join, such as ameritrade, suretrade, ect.
After that is all complete, you can start trading. Do your homework first. Study the company and make sure you are comfortable with the company before you trade. Don't trade on emotions and don't invest all your money in one stock. Just take one step at a time. |
