Really nothing you HAVE to know. So many people over analyze the market. If was complicated few could do it. Avoid excuses for not starting right now. Schwab.com, TDAmeritrade, wherever - open an account & start with an index mutual fund covering the world or the S&P 500. You are not trying to learn how to trade. You are trying to get started securing your future. If do not have an IRA then start that 1st. Don't need to know how NAV is calculated. Don't need to know at all the cycle of how a company goes public. I do & does not help in investing at all. Those are excuses not to start. Recognize that & get going. vegas_iwish@yahoo.com if further qs |

The first rule of investing is to never invest in something you don't understand. Before you jump in, learn about stocks, but also bonds. A good place to start learning without having to spend money is by going to http://finance.yahoo.com/education
They have some great information for beginners and also for more advanced investors.
As others have recommended, you should seriously consider mutual funds. The above link has information about them, but very simply, a mutual fund is an investment instrument in which a lot of investors pool their money together with a professional, who invests it in stocks or bonds. Because there is a lot of money, the professional can invest in a lot of different stocks or bonds and thereby limit your risk. If one company's stock does poorly, its not a problem, because the fund will own a lot of other stocks that hopefully will be doing well. Go with a big company (Merrill Lynch, Vanguard, Morgan Stanley, etc.) to start with and put your money in several different funds. They'll provide you with information which will help you to choose.
Don't be intimidated or become discouraged as you look into this. Take your time learning. Investing can be fun and rewarding as long as you know your own limitations and also the risks. Good Luck! |

Do not even consider investing in anything you don't understand. There are various types of investment options that are open to you. Might I suggest reading books (from the library) by Suze Orman? Her "Road to Wealth" and "You've Earned It, Don't Lose It" are two very well written easy to understand book on investments, insurance, stocks, wills and trusts, and other personal finance topics. Her advice is unbiased. Before you invest a dime in anything, learn about the options you have and then diversify your portfolio and invest only for long term. |

why not try investing in a no-load mutual fund instead; they do all the work.......no load means no fees, commissions are charged....you should diversify; stocks, bonds, large cap stocks, small cap stocks, mid cap stocks, all are available in a mutual fund...if you still want to try your hand at stocks, money.com is a good place to begin with basic knowledge of how to get started investing....but selecting individual stocks can be tricky; if you really like the challenge, money.com is a good place to start....just remember to include some international stocks!!! diversify diversify diversify as much as you can in your stock selections..........good luck.........!! |
