Apple, Sony and Nintendo. People are always going to buy iPods and it's never going to stop. The Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 will rock their stocks up for a couple of months. Always think short-term. |

Without knowing your skill, it's tough to say. Though given your question, I'm going to presume you might not know that much about investing
So, first, learn how to invest. If I gave you a great stock today, you might still lose money if you didn't know what to do with it.
A good primer book is How to Make Money in Stocks in Good Times and Bad by William O'Neill. It's very widely available for a good price.
You might also check out thestreet.com and tune in to Mad Money with Jim Cramer on CNBC daily. He's a crazy guy, but you'll learn a decent amount from him just by watching. Don't invest in his suggestions.
Remember, first learn, then practice, then once you're good enough, then you can start with real money. Else, just email me and I'll give you my address so you can send me your money. At least I'll donate it to charity for you. :-)
Seriously, start there and then we'll talk.
Good luck! |

There is no best company to invest in stocks. You have to identify what your goal is, why do you want to invest. If you want a quick buck, think short term, and invest in a company that is about to anounce a new product or service. This will usually, at least temporarily, boost the stocks value. This boost is very short lived and you have to be paying very close attention to the market or you'll miss the window of opportunity to sell for a profit. The word profit here only means selling for more than you paid. Due to commissions and fees on both the buy and sell orders a profitable sale can still lead to you losing actual dollars. Or buy a company that has had some recent negative publicity which tends to, at least temporarily, drive the price down. Again short term thinking requires you to practically live on the ticker results. And if your at all greedy, you'll lose nearly every time with this philosophy because you'll keep waiting for that ever higher price and end up holding to long. Thinking long term is really the best way to approach the market, at least with respect to risk. For a long term investment you need to decide if you want capital appreciation or income. Stocks like G.E. pay dividends consistantly and at about a 4% level. However the price per share grows very slowly. Altria (NYSE symbol MO) is a good dividend payer also. High tech companies rarely pay dividends at all. And their share prices can be very volitile. If you are thinking that you are a short term investor, you would be better off (better odds) taking your money to a casino and gambling. The stock market is nothing more than a casino. Stock funds, as mentioned by another respondent, are the best way to minimize your risk of catastrophic loss if you are a long term investor. The age old addage about not gambling money you can't afford to lose definitely applies to stock market investing. |

Always try to invest in top three companies of any industry be it IT,Manufaturing,retail or anything.Although their prices might be high now,yet there is every possibility of increase in future (atleast by 20%).It is always better to invest in a long term basis (min 6 months).Invest in a company working in a industry about which you have some knowledge.Invest in a company that has shown good track record for the last 10 years,so that even if the market crashes,its prices get back to the original position at the earliest point of time.There is a famous quote:
"Invest in a company with which you would be happy if the market closes for 10 years" - Warren Buffet |

I suggest you read a few book about investing, the internet is also a good place to do research.
What is your level of understanding of the market?
if you are new to the market, or you are a passive investor, i suggest you just put your money in an index fund. most mutual funds provide such a product. basically its a fund that mimics the performance of an index, say the dow jones or the S&P500.
if you would like to beat the market, i suggest you stick to companies you are very familiar with. companies that are performing well financially could also be profitable for you if you pick it at the right price.
basically, i suggest you take the long view, dont get shaken out just because the share price is not going your way.
As to your question of what company to invest in, this is a subjective question, and for me, i would go for Bear Creek Mining, its a canadian gold explorer. symbol is BCM in canada. i also like Yamana Gold, symbol is AUY. also in the gold mining business. again research for yourself first. happy investing |

I think investment in good software companies wil pay you in long term.There may be ups and downs but in long term your investment shoud show good capital appreciations.Because latest quarter results of Infosys,TCS and HCL Tech shows good growth in profits and addition of new clients.The order position is good. |

think LONG term not short. Go with the companies you know that have been around for decades like GE. |
