I keep getting investment opportunities from so called experts in spread betting, stocks, CFDs, FOREX trading etc. They charge hell of a lot, about £1000 per year to tell their secrets.

All I can say is dont buy arcadia...their due for a fall.....lost their top designer for cacky kate moss...and Nike town are threatening not to renew their lease to arcadia next year which is worth a shed-load...even boss mr green has taken a pay cut (around 1 billion) as profits dip. not to mention the poor business in fashion due to weather (that applies to most highstreet stores)
Gas is good....and dont we all as consumers feel the pinch...there is a gas tower near battersea...it supplies most of south london...it is always a good barometer re price....as the closer it gets to empty the closer the city will come to melt down so the prices will go up.
ASOS (as seen on screen) every inch lost on the highstreet is gained by internet retailers like this one
sony...avoid like the plague (massive losses due to faulty batteries have already seen prices get dumped.....
Not to mention the life span of a top brand rarely exceed 50 years without suffering a major slump (exception to the rule M&S) how did they do it!?
Remeber the stock market runs on a 7-11 year cycle of up and down (historically) but that has been changing lately. |

with a question like that, I would advise you seek advise from a broker. Different types of shares dependant upon the type of investor you are. |

Assuming you are just getting started I would recommend a good mutual fund. This allows you to invest in many companies at one time without taking the risk of picking a stock in one company that could go bankrupt.
In order to eliminate company risk from your investment portfolio you need to buy stocks in a minimum of 50 to 100 companies. This ensurses that not one company go down will destroy you investment assets. |

There is a book called the Motley Fool Guide to money - It's quite a good place to start to get a good picture of investment in stocks and shares.
Also depends on your risk profile. I don't like a lot of risk so I normally go for big companies with high dividend yeils and low p/e's. |

Lots of companies on the Internet now do cheap share dealing on line. if you haven't done this before - try virtual share dealing first - you can do that on Wall Street through meritocracy. Also consider spread betting. You bet on whether a share price will go up or down. Very risky - but less capital involved than actually investing - again you can do it virtually. I think betfair does spread betting on the stock market. They offer the best prices on most things. |

If you are asking that question in this forum, you are likely a naive investor. The fact that you don't want to diversify your holdings proves it. You should avoid buying individual stocks and put your money in a no-load mutual fund.
The fact is that if anyone knew of a stock that was undervalued, they would buy it & that would bid up the price, making it less likely to be undervalued for later investors.
Academic studies show that new information gets imbedded in prices almost immediately. This means that if someone tells you here that there is good news for a company, then that good news is already priced in.
The only way to beat the market on a regular basis is to have private information. There are three ways to get private information. One is to have insider information (which is usually illegal to use in trading). One way is to pay for it -- taking away the advantage. The third way is to gather up all public information on your own & glean information from it -- leading you to realize the private information that causes the public information. In other words -- use fundamental analysis. Since there are other people doing this analysis on big firms -- the payoff isn't going to be high, since they will probably get the information before you.
All of this means that profits can be made in smaller firms where no analyst is covering the company. You can be the first to learn what the public information means. Unfortunately, doing this involves a skill and knowledge that most people don't possess. And it is certainly a knowledge that you aren't going to learn asking here.
No load mutual funds are your best bet. |

Go to the stock market pg. in your local paper. Look at places, over a two week period, before buying anything. What are the top 5 companies with the persistently highest rising stock (+'s)? Though stocks are subject to drop at any moment, some of your best known oil companies, auto makers, top perfume makers, and some pharaceutical companies (ie: Astra-Zynica), will usually have consistently high showings in the stock market. |

Use a stock screener to help identify companies with good stats, I like Yahoo!'s screener best. Additionally, they have an education section in the Finance area to help you learn about all the terms and what they mean. Don't buy mutual funds. The fund managers and their employees all take a cut from what they make to pay themselves. This is cutting into your earnings. It's basically adding a middleman. Go direct with stocks. If you do a little research, you can get diversification on your own. There are a lot of tools you can use to accomplish this.
As for when you're able to buy shares, that may depend on who you use to buy them. Different firms or advisers may have different schedules by which they make purchases for clients. |

If you don't know that, you shouldn't buy stock at all.
If you'd asked that question in the right place a few years ago, you might have been told to buy Enron or Global Crossing.
If you want to invest in the stock market, I'd suggest you anchor your portfolio in a mutual fund. These differ widely, talk to a financial advisor.
Learn how the market works before you invest in specific companies. You need to know the basics, like what is Preferred Stock, what are Options, what does P/E mean, all that stuff. See, the stock market has one thing in common with a poker game, and that is that if you look around the table and can't see The Sucker, it's YOU.
If you don't know what you're doing in the market, you're gambling, and you'd have a better chance of making money in a casino. |
