Short answer: Luck and only luck.
If your Dad is about to retire and he's just now getting interested in investing, I would truthfully have to say that it's a matter of too little, too late. There is no way that someone with no market experience can step in and start making a fortune unless they are very, very, VERY lucky.
As far as putting his retirement nest egg in the market and getting a monthly income, that is possible and it depends on how much he's got to invest.
What he would have to do is place his money into some very reputable and strong dividend paying stocks and let the dividend portion pay him a quarterly divident that he can do with as he pleases. Of course, the higher the amount, the more shares he can buy and the better the dollar value of the income.
If he is looking to trade to make a living, I'd advise against it if he has no experience in the market.
People need to realize that the stock market is not just a toy that people can simply throw down a few bucks and take out a fortune. It doesn't work that way. The market is a VERY sophisticated machine that, if improperly used, will suck money out of your account like a vacuum cleaner can do to your wallet.
Your Dad should just get another job and work if he wants to make a guaranteed and significant income. The stock market is not a place to play around...you will wind up with a severe black eye.
Same goes for the Forex. If you don't know what you're doing, you'll just be flushing your money down the commode.
Essentially, it's too bad he didn't start a long time ago. |

If he hasn't started in vesting until now, it's hard to make up for lost time. People in this position tend to take on too much risk. Where his employer has a 401K, chances are they have professionals that offer free advice. That would be the best way for him to go. |

The time to learn about investing is long before retiring. I'll admit I am a late bloomer, but I decided a few years ago to start investing IRA money (that had been in CD's far too long) and started a Roth IRA, to learn how to invest my 401(k), which has limited choices now, when the time comes to retire in about 10 years.
I have gotten past the stomach churning stage coming out of significant dips. It takes awhile to start looking at dips as opportunities instead of panic. I have a mix of mutual funds, ETF's, and individual stocks, including some that pay dividends. |

He needs to invest in his 401(k) and max it out.
How is he going to retire if he has just started thinking about putting money away for it? |
