The stock market is generally suited to long term investment plans, unless of course you want to become a day trader.
Anthony Robbins used to advocate a system called OPA (Outcome Focused, Purpose Driven, Action Plan) to help you reach your goals.
Anyway what that meant was you first of all had an Outcome (Let us say that your outcome is to grow $10,000 into $5Million over the next 15-20 years)
Purpose Driven. This is what will make you strive towards your goal, taking all actions, and not getting discouraged. (This is the dream. What will you do when/if you had $5M. This is what will kick start your massive action plan, this is what will give you the energy, the stamina, the belief that it is all worth while)
Finally, the massive action plan. What it will take for you to reach your goal, your $5M.
Having studied many investment funds, read books, and followed the financial press, you will rarely find anyone (who has a proven track record) that will tell you exactly what stocks to buy, when to buy them, and more importantly when to sell them. Most Mutual funds fail to beat the market average, so even if you chose Mutual Funds, there is no guarantee of success.
So what can you do? What is the best way to reach your goal of $5M balancing the amount of risk you are willing to take against the chances of reaching your goal within the next 15-20 years?
Unless you have a crystal ball, all investment systems will lose money some of the time, but a really good system will always have more ‘UP’ months than ‘Down’ months, and the ‘UP’ months will generally return more than the down months will lose.
The one system that I have seen, that has a past record, is achievable, and more importantly is easy to understand is the Stocks Monthly system. |

Buy S & P 500 Index funds from Fidelity or Vanguard, and leave it there "forever". |

Investing in "individual" stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice; so I would not suggest doing this until you understand completely how the stock markets work.
Vanguard.com is ideal for long term investors who want to learn about mutual funds, index funds, and exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). Trading funds is less risky than trying to trade "individual" stocks.
Unless you plan on spending everyday of your life looking at stock charts trying to determine the best time to get in and out of "individual" stocks, I would look into some sort of fund.
Also be very careful about asking for stock tips online. Most are probably worthless or contain unethical motives. Do not fall for any Pump-and-Dump scams.
As far as books go, I actually started out with the Investing for Dummies books, and they definitely pushed me in the right direction. To many other books have their own agendas in my opinion.
The websites below all contain plenty of FREE information to get you started in the right direction. |

If you are losing money it's because you are trading. If you buy and then HOLD quality stocks & mutual funds it is difficult to make less than 8-12% a year, and really quite easy to average 15%.
Stand still and quit trying so hard for six months, I suspect you'll make more! |

Buy stocks in companys your know and use such as stores and car companys. Every time you buy from these stores you are increasing your stock intake. Take a look at CMG stock it has been fairing well for the last couple years. |

Here is the recipe for success:
1) Stop trading. It is a mugs game which only benefits the brokers.
2) Stop trying to beat the market. Academic, unbiased, research has consistently shown that it is a matter of luck.
3) Buy low charging index trackers (such as from Vanguard) for the US, UK and Asian markets and then sit back and rake in 8% -10% profits every year. |

Buy in good companies and leave the stock alone for a year or two till you get some money saved up. Also just react to the numbers when doing trades, not your emotions. |

how are you currently picking your stocks and mutuals? what are you basing them on or how do you select them, before you purchase them? maybe the way you are selecting needs improvements. |

Investing is counterintuitive. You must buy when prices are going down and sell when they go up. If you stick to quality and have patience you will prevail. Most investors panic when their investiments fall, then sell and lock in a loss. Be patient. If your reasons for buying in the first place are still valid, buy more and average down the price. If the reasons are no longer valid, take your loss and move on. Don't try to time the market, you cannot. Have an idea where your upper and lower limit is on each holding and stick to it. Keep emotion out of the equation and you'll do much better.
Warren Buffet said it best, "..the market is the best way to take money from the inpatient and give it to the patient." |

First thing, you need to know why you fail. If it is because your broker, then just look another one. But if it is from your investment decision, revise back your plan.
Both buy-and-hold and stock trading are profitable, if you know how and when to play the game. after all, buy and hold is not like just buy any stock in any market and hold them to death right? and stock trading is also not just about buying any penny stock and sell them after an hour.

Find a broker who is willing to spend the time with you to help you clarify your goals and identify appropriate investments. Discuss the performance periodically with your broker also. If yours is not willing, find someone else.
Ask the wealthiest person you know for a recommendation. |

Step back and think about when you bought the funds/stocks. Had they been going up for a long time? Did you hear about them on the evening news? Did you hang onto your losers wishing and hoping because you knew they would turn up?
Read up on technical analysis of the stock market. Check out Yahoo group ComputerProgramPicks. Best of luck. Having luck is executing with a prepared mind. |

Educate yourself, read the Investors Business Daily and Money. Invest for the long term and buy companies that have been around a long time and are stable. |

Fundamentals and technicals (timing) are the key for success or failure. Buy sheep and sell deer is the advice given. Follow that. Buy cheap and sell dear (more). Always enter the market when the prices are low after doing a thorough fundamental analysis. Have a target for the share to raise and then exit. Easier said than done. |
