Without having more information about your personal information, such as age, current income and other data such as risk tolerance, martial status, and demographics it would be very inappropriate for me or any other responsible person to provide specific investment information in this type of media
There are thousands of people just like you that are, or were looking to invest and those that did bought Mutual Funds and/or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). One purpose of mutual funds is to help investors like you, who are either just entering the investment world or who have no investing experience. Once you feel you at least have an understanding of investments you should look into ETFs which are similar to mutual funds but are traded on the exchanges.
Mutual Fund companies as well as ETFs have an entire array of products many will fit your needs. You can go to the MSN.Money website it has an entire section on mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds. Read about the various products and in doing so you will be getting investment ideas and at the same time educating yourself about investing.
You could also contact the funds companies for more information. I have found that Vanguard & Fidelity can meet your needs for mutual funds. The service and information they provide is all free and you will find it helpful. And remember, keeping you money in a bank or bank product is not investing. |

I like DDM. It is a 2X DJIA ETF.
It is identical to double what you hear about on the news each day. So if they say the DOW is up .5%, that means your investment is up 1%. But if they say down .5%, your investment falls 1%.
Even though it is double per day, over time it won't be quite double due to some odd math. But, if you hold long term, you will make quite a bit per year. Probably just under double what the market makes.
You'll just want to make sure you sell only after waiting at least a year. |

Try buying a low cost mutual fund. An index fund may be good for you. Look at Vanguard. |

Go to morningstar.com or investopedia.com and take their free tutorials on mutual funds. The thing to remember is that mutual funds are designed for long-term investing. Returns are not "offered" or guaranteed and will fluctuate. |

read this 1st for beginning!
Mutual funds: There is no change in the outlook for mutual funds. Equity mutual funds will continue to do well over the long term
Small savings: Five-year Post Office Time Deposit will become attractive due to its high safety as the investment will be available for Section 80C investments. Its current rate of interest is 7.5 per cent per annum
Commodities. Trading in commodity futures will now attract a Commodities Transaction Tax (CTT), which is not very good news for the fledgling commodities market. However, some commodities such as gold still make attractive investments

If you want to invest in a high quality mutual fund, you should look for one that carries no sales commissions, also called "loads" and low management fees. That way, more of your money works for you and less goes into the pocket of the sales person and mutual fund company.
Vanguard is a great choice for this. They are very low cost and offer some great investment funds. There are many different choices, but some solid ones are the Vanguard STAR fund, which is a balanced fund investing in stocks and bonds, or one of their stock index funds like the S&P 500 fund (i'm not sure if that's the exact name) that mimics the S&P 500 stock index. |

First, you must determine if you have adequate savings before deciding to invest. You should have at least 6 months of your expenses set aside in savings before you invest any other money.
Then, you need to determine your investment goals and risks. You should learn about how the markets work and how mutual funds work. You can work with an investment professional like a financial planner or stock broker or with one of the mutual fund companies to help you with some of the risk and investment horizon questions.
There are several publications, both online and in print (try your local public library) that discuss and rate mutual funds. Morningstar is one of them.
There is a lot to learn, don't be dependent on the service providers to teach you. There are many great websites and books that explain investing in easy to understand terms. Good luck.
Oh, by the way, you are now becoming an investor. You also need to learn about how investments are taxed. Keep that in mind when you learn about the different political candidates and how they propose to change the tax code to increase taxes on investments. They want to raise your taxes, not just those of rich people. |
