Don't.

Buy mutual funds.

The best advice you will ever get is to only invest money you would otherwise burn.

Don't get me wrong here, but you don't have the training or skill to competently trade stocks. You might as well go to Vegas with the cash. I am not saying you are dumb or cannot learn, you don't have the training and knowledge to do so.

If you want to learn, contact your local college and sign up for Investing 101. Most colleges will let you audit the class for a small fee.

Again, not trying to be condescending but helpful. For instance, if you can't cough up the simple formula for optimizing a portfolio of X number risky assets and risk free assets...go to school.

You might want to start by practicing at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own "group" so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.

Here are this month's best traders:

Good luck.

goto computershare.com and buy thru the company your interested in. You will only have a selection of a few hundred companies, but you can save money on commissions and get your dividends reinvested.

Open an online account with one of the online trading sites like AmeriTrade, Charles Schwab, ETrade, or any of the other dozens. Some have minimum amounts to open an account. If you are planning on holding the stocks long term, the trade fees may not be a big deal, but if you want to get in and out of the stocks short term, look for one that has low fees. Sometimes higher fees mean more features, but not always. Do your homework on the trading sites just like you should before buying a stock.

I would open an online brokerage account (Scottrade and tradeking are inexpensive and I believe don't charge you a yearly service fee, which is important if you're only investing a few hundred or few thousand dollars.)

I would recommend buying exchange traded funds, which are essentially mutual funds that are traded on stock exchanges like stocks. They allow you to own a small amount of stock in a lot of companies easily which reduces risk and eliminates the need to research individual stocks. Examples that track the S&P 500 are the SPDR fund (SPY) and the iShares fund (IVV).

Once you buy them, just hold them. Over the long term the market has historically gone up about 10%/yr.

Good luck.

Before you go and invest money in mutual funds, I advise you to check out ETFs. They share many characteristics of mutual funds, but can offer fewer drawbacks if you use them correctly. For a short introduction to ETFs, including how to build a sample portfolio with them, read http://www.valuestockreports.com/021907.htm

If you want to buy your own stocks and not rely on an index or mutual fund manager, its going to require considerably more time, effort, and possibly money to learn how to do things right. If you have any questions, my advice is free - email research@valuestockreports.com

Hope this helps, and best of luck.

don't buy stocks now. 5% in an online bank account will look great compared to where the market is heading. And buy your house 2 years from now, after prices come down another 10%....
