I want to invest, where to start?

I have got 12 000 pounds sterling that I want to invest but I really donВґt know where to start with this. Can anybody shed some light on which direction to take and who I should be dealing with. I want to make the most of my money.

Hello there,
I was in the same position as you about 7 years ago. I had quite a large sum of money like yourself but had no idea where to start investing it. After considerable research I was referred to a company that held my hand throughout the whole process and they have shown me some incredible returns. Using this company saves me doing too much research into the markets myself as this is left to my advisor, which is nice and easy for a busy man like myself, I just see the profits. If you would like me to give you more information email me at eric.hurst18@yahoo.co.uk
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards.

Go into something that you DO know about. Be very careful. There are lots of people who would be too pleased to take that money from you.
Buy shares in blue chip companies. Less risk but low yield. Or buy to let. Bricks and mortars are good securities but you get the problems with managing the property and tenants.
If you are a beginner, play safe first. You can always go into something of high risks after you have gained some experiences. One golden rule to remember, the higher the return, the higher the risk.

I would highly recommend to do some study before doing any investment. There are some good books about Warren Buffet. The Millionaire Mind by Thomas J. Stanley is very good too. But be careful there are a lot of book with a title of Millionaire something, those are not very useful.

Index Fund is a good safe investment tool. Generally, Index Fund's performance is better than most other mutual funds. If you can't help yourself and really really want to invest something before finishing your reading, I would suggest Index Fund, such as Dow Jones or NASDAQ index fund. You may want to put 1 20th or less of your fund in a Index Fund each quarter. That way you will average your buying price. But again CASH is king. Don't rush.

Finally, study 1st, and then invest.
3 rules in investment.
1. Don't lose money
2. Don't lose money
3. Don't forget the 1st 2 rules.

If you want a quick return on your money then trading in cfd,s is the way to go.
You dont actually buy shares as such but buy a contract on the assets.
You then earn or lose money on the opening and closing price of the asset.
Many people have got rich very quick from cfd's but there is also the risk of losing money quickly.
Finding a broker will help as they can advice you on stops that sell when the
asset falls below a certain amount you can afford to lose.

buy the book.''the little book that beats the market'' by greenblatt..............read it twice
it is a great starting point.....it is your money.protect it with your knowledge...........

The best way to invest is to diversify. Put your money in different sectors, and different financial products. That way if one starts to do badly, it will be countered by another that's doing really well (in theory.)

Don't put all your money in shares, because shares are high risk. It is generally recommended that you put 25%-75% of your money in shares, 25%-75% in bonds, savings accounts and other safe products, and 2%-5% in commodities like gold.

If you have ВЈ12,000, you could buy ВЈ7,000 in shares, and put them in a self-select ISA. This will stop you having to pay capital gains tax when you sell them.

Hargreaves Lansdown do self select ISAs:

You will need to get advice on which shares or unit trusts you should be buying. Make sure you choose from a range of industries to properly diversify.

With the other ВЈ5,000, I recommend you put it in savings accounts or National Savings certificates. Once again, don't put all your money in one account. Diversify in order not to lose out through changing interest rates.

I would encourage you to look at Zopa as part of your diverse portfolio. Zopa is a lending and borrowing exchange that allows you to lend money directly to individuals with good credit ratings, cutting out the banks and letting you keep all the profits. I'm currently getting 7%-11%pa return on investment, which is much better than any savings account. The borrowers all have good credit ratings, so you can be sure the money is safe.

Apply via this link:

and you'll get an introductory offer of ВЈ30 if you lend more than ВЈ500.

Hope this is of help.

ВЈ12000 is a lot of money, you could by shares (still a gamble even if you have an agent) the growth is very slow. or you could set up a business, a small 1 to start with and work your way up. there is lots of thing you could do with this money, invest wisely, something which you can do, remember no one will make money for you. you have to do it yourself, get in to something. i am looking to invest into a small business aswell, i am short in ideas, i have a few like car rental business, or even a taxi operator, lots to do, just need to research, best of luck

You need to learn about investing. Suggestion: put your money in conservative mutual fonds or certificates of deposit and start serious study. As you learn, you can develop an investment strategy appropriate for your goals. Accepting random advice is the best way to lose your investment.

It really depends on what you want, and what kind of money this is. Do you want to be comfortable, rich, super-rich? Do you want a steady return or are you willing to gamble on quick growth? Can you afford to lose all of the money? If you lose it, will you starve?
Read some books, join some online investing newsletters. http://www.investopedia.com/ has some good tutorials.
Don't put it all in the same basket.

You can look into an online company called etrade. i have my IRA with them and you choose what you want to invest in. The American dollar is losing value so I have mine invested in Gold mining companies. i only invested $4000 at first, a year ago and it is now at $13,000. The website is www.etrade.com

Invest in an ISA for the current tax year (or next one if you prefer) and invest the remaining in a Collective investment Portfolio within cautious managed funds...get income funds so you have a steady income from all these funds every month or so...use an IFA.

IВґve been investing for more than 20 years and trading for almost 14, and I can tell you that if you want to make BIG and FAST profits, I recommend you trading rather than investing, trading can help you to go from rags to rich.
If you are investing, you must have already achieved some degree of finalcial success, long term stock investing and FOREX can help you become much richer than you are today.
My experiences as a Nasdaq Market Maker, Head trader of seveal brokerage firms, and currently as a professional trader and private hedge fund manager, I can sugest you that:

We trade because we want quick, short term profits on a consistent basis. We want to cash flow the market. Milk it like a cow. Make consistent, small, short term gains rather than trying to hit a home run on every trade. Don't ever forget that, don't marry a stock, marry the idea of making money trading stocks. That's the only way to do it.

For me "All stocks are equally worthless"

I don't hold on to any illusion that the stock market will continue to go up and provide a nice retirement for me.
I could care less which way the market goes. It's irrelevant to me if the market goes higher, crashes or moves sideways for the next 50 years. I really could care less. Stocks are just four letters with two prices next to them that I use to make a living trading.

Trade ONLY when you have a clear, easy and identifiable advantage, because without a CLEAR EDGE your odds of success are NO better than a flip of a coinвЂ¦ ThatВґs why so many new traders (and investors) lose money.

Take a look at any daily chart of any index or stock and you'll probably see the most volatility and the biggest opportunity for profit during the first Hour of the stock market's opening.

The popular thinking and conventional wisdom is that you should wait about an hour before you start trading.

But if you do, you'll miss the big, fast moves that stocks make as all the amateurs let their emotions out through their online accounts, usually right after they read some news headline or hear Maria Bartiromo go off about a stock on CNBC.

It's easy to see why trading the open is the market's prime time for profiting from other online traders.
The market's open is very volatile - that is the perfect environment for LARGE, FAST profits.

Learn to trade as a professional Market Maker ,not as an emotionally driven amateur trader or investor with few thousand dollars in an account at Etrade.

There isn't any other time during the day or any stock you can invest in, that can make you 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 or more points in minutes OTHER than during the first hour the stock market is open. That's why I love trading the open so much.

I trade only when I have an edge and that means "only the fisrt hour the market is open".

If you are a beginning trader or investor, you can give yourself an unfair advantage in the market trading this way.

I can continue giving you a lot of advises about how to make money trading, but if you ask me:
