My experience?....You have to have an iron stomach to be in stocks for the short term (5-10 years). Best is to diversify among stocks domestic and foreign, bonds and cash and dollar cost average into mutual funds with great track records and low expenses....Hold and invest for 20-30 years..... |

If you look at the history of the stock markets, they always trend upward. If you invest long-term, the odds are you will do well. |

Unless you have the time, and the knowledge of specific companies (and disposable money you can afford to lose), I recommend going with mutual funds. Still a risk, but your risk is spread over the tens-hundreds of stocks that the fund invests in. |

I go with mutual funds and IRA's. Safer, and you you do get some stock and/or bond play involved. |

As they say, "the value of investments may go down as well as up."
However, if you have a view that the stocks in general will rise you would be better off investing in a unit trust which tracks an exchange (e.g. NYSE or LSE).
If you have a 'good feeling' about a certain stock ask yourself why? If you believe that a mining company will go up because demand for iron ore is high then look for other companies which also mine iron ore since they should rise too.
Note: None of the above constitutes financial advice, please consult your financial advisor before making any investments |

Investing in "individual" stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice; so I would not suggest doing this until you understand completely how the stock markets work.
Instead visit Vanguard.com and learn about mutual funds, index funds, and exchange-traded-funds (ETFs). Trading funds is less risky than trying to trade "individual" stocks.
Unless you plan on spending everyday of your life looking at stock charts trying to determine the best time to get in and out of "individual" stocks, I would look into some sort of fund.
Also be very careful about asking for stock tips online. Most are probably worthless or contain unethical motives. Do not fall for any Pump-and-Dump scams.
As far as books go, I actually started out with the Investing for Dummies books, and they definitely pushed me in the right direction. To many other books have their own agendas in my opinion.
The websites below all contain plenty of FREE information to get you started in the right direction. |

Try no-load mutual funds. "No-load" means that you don't pay a commission to anyone. You just buy them directly from the mutual fund company. Each company offers a wide range, and extracts a small fee each year in exchange for professionally choosing which securities to invest in.
Look for a fund with a high Morningstar rating, to get one with a good return for its risk level.
T. Rowe Price is one of my favorite fund "families". I've gotten good returns from their funds and they're all no-load.
As for individual stocks, you're just shooting in the dark unless you understand the internals of how the business is run. You might want, for example, to invest in the company you work for if you've become convinced that they're on a positive track. But otherwise I'd let the mutual fund managers do the research necessary to choose specific stocks. |

only if you have money to lose. there is not a for sure thing on the market. blue chips typically are a winner, but it takes a looooong time to see a good return. |
