I second what Bronze... suggested. A good mutual fund or index fund will over a long period of time yield you an excellent return. I wish I had been smart enough to have put my money into one 40 years ago and just left it. Back then there were no index funds, just mutual funds. My overall return would have been much better than buying and selling individual stocks. It certainly is not as much fun, but it is more rewarding for most investors. |

If this is your first investment and you are beginning to build a portfolio, I might suggest first investing in a no-load mutual fund that follows one of the indexes.
Most people that can not afford to spend a lot of time looking at individual stocks will make more money over the long run by betting on the market as a whole than trying to pick specific stocks. |

I would go with biotechnology. You're getting the benefit of tech stock with health care. Both have been beaten down so stock prices are low right now. Here's a sure winner. AOB is the ticker symbol. It's a perfect time to buy it. |

I think the best investment isnt in high technology. try investing into medical companies, because once you invest in them they use this money to develop their production and research, once they develop some innovation - their stock is soaring. Try it. My suggestion is Neurometrix (their quote is NURO) |

First or 100th investment you have the same problems, what to pick, or spend your hard earned money on. A broad based mutual fund is safe and wise, but not what you asked for ("some stocks"), besides it's so boring too haha.
I always think of the tech stocks first too, many others do too, so the risk is high because the price has that built into it already. Remember the tech boom, there was a bust. so the market is shy about them now days imho. Do not be seduced by tech is the lesson, if so be very objective and hard on your own choices. Of course you'll have to dig a little, research the stock.
I look for value, buy on the bad news, sell on the good news.
My pick of the day for high risk is RAD, for boring value GE, for riskier value for a good yield and growth MO, or hows about PFE.
Start digging, then pull the trigger and dive in. |

Since you have no prior investment experience, buying a stock would be ideal for you. As you may already know, risk is a factor in any investment. You want to spread out your risk as much possible by diversifying your portfolio--"don't put all your eggs in one basket". Buying a few stocks here and there won't give you that diversification. My suggestion is to go with mutual fund, which is a basket of stocks, or bonds, or both. It will give you instant diversification. When dealing with mutual funds, you will much about no-load vs. loaded funds. No-load fund does not charge you any fees to get in or out, but they do have a maintenance fee. They are great for someone saavy in investment; however, they offer no help to the average person. Given your position as a novice, I highly suggest you look up a professional for help. A good place to start is on the JD Powers and Associate website. Good luck. |

The first thing you need to do is buy a 3 month cd. Next buy a few books or courses that teach you how to invest, not the ones that teach you how to speculate. While you are waiting for your cd to mature, you will be learning the important principles of investing. After the 3 months are up, you should be ready to purchase your first stock. |
