start with something that you can afford to lose. it can be risky, but you can get much return too. so, let's focus on ways to reduce the risks related to stock market.
fundamentally, you can use various key financial ratios to start screening which stock worth your hard earned money. from there, you can go to the next level by further study how they perform qualitatively. Look here for more info:
How to Pick A Good Stock
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/good-stock-pick.html
Guide in Analyzing Stock
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/analyzing-company.html
then, you must study how much the stock worth. to do this stock valuation, you have to calculate intrinsic value. once you got it, buy the stock when it is at its margin of safety, either it was discounted than its intrinsic value, or discounted from the past historical prices. Look here for details:
How to Calculate Intrinsic Value
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/calculate-intrinsic-value.html
How to Determine Margin of Safety
http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/margin-of-safety.html
now the last point but the most important things, how you can make money from it? look, good company will grow over time. if you invest for your retirement, you can sell the stock after 20 years with as much as 30% return per year! doesn't it sounds good? and besides, you'll be earning dividends year after year, which will also grow annually!

Investing in shares has become very easy now. If you have an internet connection and a demat account + trading account, you can do it from home. Many banks like ICICI and HDFC as well as brokerage firms like Sharekhan and Kotak offer such combined accounts in India. Once you have these, you have to decide whether you want to trade or invest in shares, and the time-frame for your investment A long time perspective and a diversified portfolio will allow you to earn substantial capital growth. |

As a beginner or someone who doesn't have time to do in depth research go for an index fund as you develop a better understanding of the market. Less than 80% of professionally managed mutial funds beat the market.
A good resource is "Sound Mind Investing HandBook" by Austin Pryor helped me to get a better grasp on investing. |

Start out with a broad market index fund that follows an index such as the S&P 500. Then try picking low-cost funds that invest in other areas such as small cap and foreign stocks.
Once you have some confidence in investing in general, you can start to follow individual stocks. I recommend at least a couple months with a fake portfolio(you can set up on on Yahoo), before putting any money into stocks. |

For a beginning investor, a mutual fund is an excellent way to begin. Depending on what country you live in, which unfortunately Yahoo does not provide, your choices will be dependent upon those that are offered in that country. In the U S there are litterly thousands to choose from, perhaps too many. Among those that I believe offer the best choices are Fidelity, T Rowe Price, Royce Funds, and Vanguard. With the exception of Royce, each offers a wide selection. Royce offers only small cap funds. In addition to this list can be added American Funds, but they have a front end load of 5.25%. The others do not. They do however have some great performing funds and a very low initial investment amount of only $250. The others with certain exceptions have a minimum investment amount of about $2000 to $3000. They all have low expense ratios.
Here are a couple of links

Hello frend,
I am answering by gusing u r a beginner.....
First understant the defiantion of ' investment' & 'speculation'
Investment is somthing that you buy the asset (shares) after doing in depth investigation and analysis. investment generally for long term.
To invest in share of compny.. u must understand the following thinf first
1) Company's area of business /industry
2) Industry's position in economy of india.
3) Study : company's profits of last 5 year, net sales for 5 year, working area and its oppetunity, growth of company, etc.
4) Owner profile
5) performance at stock market
...there may be lot. After study these and if u find the company good then u can invest in it.( this is very basic, there are number of other attributes to invistigate)
remeber 'Investment' is for long term and is for wealth maximization
....now we look for 'Speculation'....
Speculation is somrthing you buy a stock(share) from some one's word only e.g. your frend tell u that pls buy infosys stock.... generelly it is for short term..... and day to day market driven.
speculator , what u find at share bazzar offices and just watching the movements, some tips...etc...like that and invest without doing analysis of own....
some of the books u can refer
1)warren buffet way
2)Intelligent investor
3)Security analysis
..many more .. u can go through websites(biggest source to learn)
Hope u wud get answer...
bye |

Your best bet is finding a well diversified mutual fund, with a strong mutual fund company. I am going to suggest American Funds. Yes, they have a front end load, but they are one of the best money managers out there. They perform well, when the market performs well, and they are really good at protecting your money money when the market goes down. That is why they are ranked #1 by Barron's on a 10 year average. They also outperform the typical "no loads" on a 5 year average. Anyone can perform well, when the market performs well, but the important thing is finding a money manager that will help preserve your money when the market goes down. American Funds is known for that, and is well worth the load. |

To initially start, you need to find a Trusted and experienced agent or adviser from any good share market traders. If you can not find one the best thing is: Read as many articles as you can on relevant topics. Daily follow on whats happening and what experts are saying in News, blogs and some famous sites like: www.moneycontrol.com
On the above site, you can also play a virtual game of share trading for fun and understanding of it. You will get to know lots n lots of stuff while doing that.
Good luck. |

Invest in a diversified fund (a fund that includes the stock of many different types of companies) and choose one with low expenses. The Vanguard Total Stock Market Index is an excellent choice.
Picking individual stocks is like going to Vegas. |

It is nice to hear that you want to go for the shares, but i would advise you to go for the mutual funds, which will be the safe choice for you. These are of 2 types: Close Ended- which has a fix date to invest like the IPOs. The others are Open Ended- where you can invest any time whenever you want to do that. You can save tax on these investments but most of them have a fix agreement period of 3 years if you want to save tax on them. But these are safer than shares as the company will invest on your behalf with the advise of Actuaries, so no chances to fear. Average growth will vary between 10-250%. You can check it from there performance history. |
