I am interested in Investments,share market. I want to know that what are the requirements to be an investor?

There are alot of people who believe they are investors, but many are just speculators. To be an investor, you should actually know everything about what you're getting into when you put your hard earned money into an investment. It's impossible for me to explain everything that you need to know to be a smart and successful investor, but I can recommend some very good books and websites that can help you out. A good place to learn about the stock market without risking money is http://www.investopedia.com

Some good books that you can probably get at a local library are:

The Intelligent Investor; By Benjamin Graham

A Random Walk Down Wall Street; By Burton G. Malkiel

The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need; By Andrew Tobias

The Warren Buffett Way,: Investment Strategies of the World's Greatest Investor; By Robert G. Hagstrom

--------------------------------------...

Don't wast your money on financial magaziens or the Wall Street Journal as I saw somebody else suggest. The best investors learn on their own, and find good investments on their own. No one can stop you from being a successful investor but yourself. Never but a stock because you guess it will go up, that's speculation. Only invest in a stock after you have completley studied the company and know what you're getting into.

One last thing, never buy a stock because a friend told you to. Usually if a friend tells you that you can get a REALLY good deal on a stock it means he's in love with that stock and really HOPES it wil go up. Watch the stock and wait for the price to fall (which it probably will), once it does the next time you see your friend just have a sour look on your face and he'll probably buy you lunch.

Please, don't day trade. Don't try to get into the stock market too fast because you'll probably get burned. When investing in the stock market, patcience can be your best friend, and your emotions can be your worst enemy.

If you want to study some of the greatest and most successful investors of all time look up Warren Buffet, and Benjamin Graham.

In fact there is requirement as regards your education is concerned. The most important requirement is you must have enough and surplus money to invest. The other requirements are as follows:-
1) You must have a bank account
2) You must have a Demat Account
3) You must open an account with a Share Broker
4) You must have knowledge about the company in which
you are investing.
5) Finally you must make timely payments to the brokers but do not forget to collect your contract note and monthly account

The main requirement to be a successful investor is discipline.

To get started, check out the following books:

1) Investing for Dummies, by Eric Tyson
2) http://www.invest-for-retirement.com has a free downloadable book
3) The Boglehead's Guide to Investing

Investment is a technique. you should know where and when to invest and watch the market trend regularly. Better you go for a Mutual fund who will manage your portfolio with minimum risk.

Purchase an Investor's Business Daily newspaper at the local news stand. It's a good place to start.

Best,
