Educate yourself, as much as you can. A little bit everyday. Pick solid companies, that earn money. You'll need an account at a brokerage. It's like a bank account, you deposit money, then you can trade. Even after purchasing shares, spend about an hour a week researching each company you own, things can change in a hurry. Do your own research, don't buy a stock on somebodies hot tip. Start out with 1 or 2 companies that you understand, and earn you money. Be patient, time is your friend. If your only 20, and you start now, and add to it regularly, and let it grow, by the time you retire, you should have millions. Good Luck.

I started investing when I was 20. I began by investing $2000 in a mutual fund suggested my former "financial advisor", got a little more aggressive an began buying individual stocks but little did I know I was paying high commssions to buy/sell through him. Got educated and moved to a online brokerage with lower commisions but I make all the decisions. My returns have been higher investing myself than listening to the advisor. Im 24 and today my account is worth around $24,000. Investing was one of the best decisons I ever made. Good Luck...

Start out simple, get started at someplace like Schwab, with their many funds, info services, and stocks etc. I would buy some big, boring, broad based mega mutual fund. Dollar cost average in regularly, no matter what. Use Ira's, Roth or otherwise, or do it at work with pretax dollars if you can.

check back in your 40's and see what's happenin! Enjoy

Warren Buffett, who is widely regarded as one of the most successful investors ever, said that for the average investor the best thing they could do is invest in a portfolio of index mutual funds. Index funds mirror a particular index like the S&P 500 or NASDAQ. They are very inexpensive to own, and the advantage they offer the investor is that you own a piece of all the companies in the index, not just the few companies that you would be able to buy if you were buying individual stocks. Also to try to buy and sell indvidual stocks successfully you need to spend a lot of time doing research and most people just aren't willing to spend the amount of time necessary to do that.
You also want to make sure you pick a diverse froup of indexes that include large, mid, and small cap US companies, as well as international and probably some high yield bonds to help stabalize the portfolio. You may also want to include a natural resources fund. I don't know if there is an index for that buy I own the Ivy Global Natural Resources fund (IGNAX) and have been very happy with that. I wouldn't put any more than 10% in high risk categories like that however.
The important thing for you is that you go ahead and start now. Starting at 20 you will have such a huge advantage over most people. You will be very happy when you retire.

considering your age and experience in Shares, i suggest first go for ULIP - Unit linked insurance policy. Along with life coverage, your investment will be in stock market which will be managed by professional fund managers. then opt for mutual fund. the third step go for Direct shares.
in ULIP - low risk , moderate returns with full life coverage.
in MF - moderate risk, moderate returns
In direct shares - verry High risk because you are new to field, high returns only when you got experience through ULIP, and MF, and direct share knowledge.
for any personalized clarification regarding ULIP feel free to contact me at

You can start with sites like sharebuilder.com or etrade. Both provide very basic services in helping clients access the public capital markets. To invest in the stock market requires providing money to companies and developing a portfolio of these stocks so that as a whole, they cover your bases in case one of them doesn't do so well.

Risks include no guarantee of returns, if you choose to invest in stocks. The advantage is that you can typically receive higher returns compared to investing in bonds (fixed income).

well let me tell you about the little I know about the stock market. It is crucial to research the company and know how much on average they annually gross. Since your new start out with a stable and well known company. Then buy some stock, but be careful in this the key is to purchase smart. Don't buy like 2,000 shares if you can't really afford play it smart and purchase a little at a time. Now the key to the whole game is to sell high and buy low. If I could describe the stock market it is likea roller coaster. The stock rises and falls and really depends supply and demand. example there is an oil shortage which will cost the price to rise. Therefore the stocks price per share will rise due to the high demand. This also leads to the rise in other product as well. Another note become best friends with economics if not already.
