Suggest site where i can learn about share investment?

Congratulations on getting started. Itâ€™ll help you more than you know!

Your first dollars should be spent on getting educated on investing. You don't have to train to trade them professionally, but we are talking about your future here. So the more you learn, the more it'll help you! So let's start there.

You ask a very broad question, so be prepared for a pretty long answer. Just take it in chunks!

How to invest depends on what you already know. We'll assume that you're beginning!

A good primer is How to Make Money in Stocks by William O'Neil. You can get it cheap just about anywhere. Itâ€™s widely available new or used.

Another good one is one of Jim Cramer's books (heâ€™s got a few).

But books will only get you so far. At some point, you'll also want to get at least a little training. There are some great education companies if you want to make the investment. Investools.com or optionetics.com are both very good companies as is tmitchell.com

For free, you can start by visiting thestreet.com and investopedia.com. That'll get you a pretty good primer so at least you'll understand what the markets are and what a stock is, etc.

If you get a chance, watch Mad Money on CNBC. Don't trade any of his picks until you track many of them over time. Just use the show to get you to understand some basics and get a feel for the market itself.

Next, subscribe to something like Investorsbusiness daily or something like that that can help you identify good stocks.

Once you understand stocks, go to 888options.com. It's a website that'll help you understand options (what they do, how they work, etc). You don't need to trade them, but the more you know, the more you'll see how options can really be the safest way to invest (once you're educated).

For discipline (which is crucial to successful trading), probably Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas or Mastering the Trade by John Carter

I know thatâ€™s a LOT to absorb. Just take it one step at a time for now. Start with a book or two to give you an idea of where to begin. Take your time, and let it seep in.

As you get up to speed, you should papertrade to practice (highly recommended). This should help reduce your losses in the beginning as you get used to buying/selling.

You can practice for free on almost any reputable broker site (optionsxpress, scottrade, thinkorswim, etc). And yes, you can definitely deal easily online.

Start slow, then as you figure things out, you can buy more shares.

Congrats again on getting started. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hope this helps!

Hi..

Share investing is not as easy at is seems.. do not be fooled!!

You need a very high degree of knowledge ot be proficient at it..

A good starting point is to do a search on DOW JONES .. learn how it all began.. get a feel for the cycles and take a look at some of the whopping booms and busts that have occured.. try download a historical dow jones chart and just stare at it.. look at it and analys it.. read into WHY those booms and busts happened.. and note these down.. note the cycles of booms and busts and how they occur in relatively spaced periods of around 5-10 years.. 7 average.. 15 for larger busts.. such as recessions..

THIS is probably the best way for a novice to really learn about share trading..

Beyond that.. try websites like www.asx.com.au

"prudent bear" is excellent so is "bloomberg" websites..

If you want to gain a complete knowledge.. it will take you apprximately 3 years if you work hard to learn..

Here's some tips to get you started:

THINGS TO LEARN

1) Economic fundamentals (macroeconomics I find is more important some would argue the point)
2) learn about the range of investment intruments and why they are used and who uses them.. eg futures-used by commodity traders to lock in unstable raw material prices, options/warrants- used by companys to "hedge" their investments.. and so forth..
3) TAXES - it helps ot know how various investments will be treated.. regarding shares you will need to know about imputation of share dividends.. as this can result in a significant tax benefit ..
4) HISTORY - it really pays ot have a knowledge of histry.. especially economic performance and commodity prices.. especially OIL.. very significant to global sharemarkets since day one..
5) MICROECONOMICS- learn about how corporations function.. and try learn about as many industry groups as possible.. this is because at differing times certain industries will outperform others.. some have clear relationships sometimes inverse relationships.. clear cycles will allow you to be fairly certain that some sectors or industries will do well or poorly.. for example.. i recenlty cleaned up on the Uranium stocks because I knew Howard was going to pass legislation to open the uranium mines.. once he got hold of the Senate.. HE DID!! it paid off around 800% in the past 2 years.. $10,000 become $80,000

GOOD LUCK

If you are an Indian then go to www.sharekhan.com.

A very nice and informative web site for us Indians is NSE. You can download the entire study material for Certification in Financial Markets. And it is written in a lucid manner

Here's what I think on the issue:
1. Empirical studies have shown time and time again how market timing and analystsâ€™ forecasting abilities have failed countless times. You can not improve your forecasting ability because there are just too many countless variables to account for.
2. For people who do not want to do research, index investing is a good solution.
3. Go for Mutual Funds which have consistently performed over a period of say, 3-5 years. Take the SIP route.

Though direct stocks have the ability to give the best returns, please see the time and effort required to be able to get the best out of it. It's fine if you have a portfolio worth more than 10 lacs, I guess. But if it's less than that, the returns may not be justified for the efforts required.
