There are very few successful stock pickers out there and there's a 99.9% chance you aren't one of them. Sorry. Neither an I. And I bet you won't properly diversify if you pick stocks.

Read/learn about investing in general. There are a lot of traps out there. That you asked about what kind of returns to expect shows that you need to do some learning.

Some suggestions:

1. Learn to use Morningstar.

2. Learn about the Wall Street BS (read this: http://www.amazon.com/what-wall-street-d... )

You'll learn about revenue sharing, style drift and all sorts of tricks.

3. Excellent reading:

http://socialize.morningstar.com/newsoci...

4. Avoid 'financial advisors', chasing past returns, market timing, high costs.

5. Take a free course on investing. Read a good book.

Best regards! Good that you are doing this.

Save the time and hassle of picking individual stocks!!! get into a mutual fund..research them and when you find one, DIVERSIFY DIVERSIFY DIVERSIFY!! that means large cap funds, medium cap, and small cap, as well as REITs, a gold fund (no more than 5-8%!!!) and DEFINITELY International funds......as well as, short term bond funds!!! invest all across the board.......do monthly investments, not in one lump sum.....also need to take into account your age....if you are young, you can go more into stocks; you have time on your side to ride out the ups and downs of the market..also, MAX OUT your 401 K at work!! and DIVERSIFY like crazy there, too, and DO NOT PUT more than 10% into your own company's fund..personally, in my 401ks I NEVER invested in any company I worked for.....but that's just my preference..I am retired, and didn't start planning for retirement until I was 40!! yes, that's too long to wait but I was careful and frugal and went to a financial planner and now I am enjoying my retirement!! and yes, go to a financial planner; the only question you have to ask is, are they selling products? if they are, RUN do not walk out the door..you want a fee-only planner.......mine is Ameriprise.....but do your homework!! Please email if you have any further questions! Good luck and have fun!

You can try Doubling Stocks which is an easy way to make money by investing in penny stocks. The expected returns is slightly more than 100% per stock!

This is what happens: Their Penny Stock Guru, Michael Cohen will give you a penny stock pick each week and you just need to trade that stock and make money. His average profit per trade this year is more than 100%! He rarely picks the wrong trade.

Below are the stocks that I successfully traded with Michael's recommendation and make a good pile of money. Only 1 stock was picked wrongly:

1. PAETEC Holding Corp. (PAET) $9.80 (March 2007) $19.25 (March 2007) +96%

2. BioStem Inc. (BTEM.OB) $0.46 (March 2007) $2.34 (March 2007) +408%

3. LANTIS LASER INC (LLSR.PK) $0.49(April 2007) $0.42(May 2007) -14%

4. SUPERCLICK INC (SPCK.OB) $0.11(May 2007) $0.24(June 2007) +118%

5. DHANOA MINERALS LTD (DHNA.OB) $1.00(May 2007) $1.55(May 2007) +155%

Bg has a pretty good answer. I would not mess with individual stocks you can get burned too easily. I like no load mutual funds. Excelsior funds can be gotten into for a $500 minimum with no fees.

As a beginner, you will want to get a basic understanding of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Any of these sources will help you:

- Investing for Dummies or Mutual Funds for Dummies, by Eric Tyson
- http://www.invest-for-retirement.com has my free downloadable book
- http://www.investopedia.com has some tutorials

The current rate on the 3m T-Bill is approximately 4.86%. You can use that as your benchmark or if you want to, use the S+P 500. You can find that performance over the last three months on any chart.
Barring another sub-prime marquis event, I'm still bullish on Lockheed Martin. Look at their quarterly earnings and the recent analysts upgrades.
