I would recommend strongly against going online and doing it yourself. Whether it be short, medium, or long term, mistakes can gravely cost you by winging it on certain items on line. It's also advantageous to have someone in person that you can hold accountable for mistakes, which become far less likely when a professional is doing them. The market is so volatile, and there are so many variables and possible problems that can occur, that there is no doubt in my mind that dealing with an online program yourself.
A more reasonable thing would be to go to someone, learn what you can from them and establish a basis for good judgement, so that eventually you can do it yourself, if you choose to do so.
To find someone, look into some kind of brokerage house, or trading firm and have a meeting with them. If you feel any of them are talking in upstairs vocabulary and are trying to dumb you into doing something, steer clear of that company/guy, and find someone you feel comfortable with. Try looking in the yellow pages, or ask someone you work with, an older more experienced person, maybe a boss or supervisor. Or talk to some guy you run into who's dressed in a suit. They'll probably have a decent idea. Hope this helps.

First get a good book and learn the fundamentals of investing. I suggest Investors Chronicle; Beginners guide to Investment. Have alook at http://www.shareworld.co.uk/beginners.htm

A few years ago I was in the same situation as you where I wanted to begin investing but really didn´t know where to begin.
I was referred to a company through a friend and they basically handle everything for me. By that I mean they advise you exactly when to buy and sell your shares while talking you through the entire process step by step. They are so helpful and the thing is I only pay them commission on the profit made, which is always good.
I highly recommend dealing through a company like this if knowledge is not on your side.
If you would like some more information then please do email me at jessica_peters44@yahoo.co.uk
Good Luck.

yes go to yahoo finance learn about the stock market sign up an acount on scottrade. Look for a stock thats underpriced look at the quarterly and yearly income statements make sure there making more money than the last few years or at least similar amounts vs other quarters make sure they industry your interested in isnt going to falter. make sure u can clearly understand how their business operates to make a profit. Most professional invest very little time investigating all the stocks out there they tend more to want to make a profit for themselves than for you. Yes it cand be more risky but also way more rewarding after you understand it more doing it yourself i just jumped in lost some money mayed it up now I have so much expierence i can do better than the big boys. I'm glad I lost money initially it really makes your decicions better if you lose some it becomes more real that was back in 2000 bubble came out scathed but much better trader the stocks crashed at the time i got into the stock market I lost money but mayed it up and then some, but i'm glad i started trading by myself. Maybe some people wern't trading back then. Remember the profesionals said back then earnings didnt matter for internet stocks most of these companies went bust with few exceptions yahoo, google, etc. never trust profesionals. Buy more than one stock at time and when you buy a stock put half the money you want to in it and then put more in a couple week later to even out the price. Believe in yourself. Also p/e p/b generally under 30, look at the chart partern and try to determine whats a decent price don't bottom fish.

If you don't know HOW to buy shares then you probably don't know WHAT shares to buy.
This is bear market...generally a bad time to invest. Go to the library & get Jim Cramer's books ( 3) on investing. Read & UNDERSTAND them all.
Then invest wisely rather than investing in ignorance & letting sharks like me short your long position & take your money.

Look for a broker(search for discount broker on google), open an account, transfer money into your account and then you are set to invest.

Each broker charges you a fee or commission to buy and sell shares. They each offer services, you could just choose the one that fits best your needs.

Hello,
As a member of the public looking to make relativly small investments, your best bet is to go with one of the online share dealing accounts offered by most of the highstreet banks. It depends which country you live in to which bank does the best one.

In the UK, Halifax do a great one.

Here, you generally pay a fixed fee or % of investment as a fee to the bank. You can sell/buy shares as you wish. Most of these services also offer a business news section, share price information services etc.

Good luck!

Also, you can find lots of free investment advice online! There are many websites that recommend "shares of the month" or something similar - or recommend which new public offerings to get involved with.

Remember, share prices go down as well as up :)

ANOTHER THING :)
If you are not experienced in buying and selling shares, most of these "highstreet" online share dealing accounts offer a "play money" option for first-timers to try it all out. Definitly play around with fake money first just to get a feel for it. Once you are confident, try the real money :)

index traded funds might be the way to go if you aren't very experienced at it. That way, you just pick a sector and you don't have to worry about individual companies because ITFs will just track the returns of the sector.

You will still need a trading account to purchase ITFs but its an easier and more secure way to do it
