first of all, td ameritrade is better than e trade so i suggest that you open an account with them. And there is no risk free stock, however, stocks are not going to do so well in the future. I suggest shorting stocks like FSLR (first solar) You can make a fortune doing this. |

there is no such thing as a risk free stock. There is only risk managed strategies. You are the manager of that strategy. A stock is completely dependent upon the market, and more specifically the exchange/index in which it trades. Your strategy, however, which includes things like 1)when to get in; 2) how much to invest; 3) whether to cut my loss at 7% or 8%; 4) whether to limit my gains at 20%, 30% or when the exhaustion gap appears in the upward climb of the stock's price curve, these in your strategy will help you to mitigate risk. It will not help you to avoid risk -- just can't be done.
Build a questionnaire for you to use on every stock you are considering. Ask things like
1. What are the current earnings for the past month, quarter, year, and the year before?
2. Is the EPS at least 25% or higher from last quarter or last year?
3. Is there a new product, or new management?
4. Are their sales, profit margin, growing or shrinking?
5. Are they considered leaders in their industry?
6. Are they being bought up by Institutional investors (mutual funds, investment banks, insurance companies)?
7. Is the general market trending up? or down?
You can add additional questions to help you become more stable and less emotional when evaluating a stock for possible purchase.
Best of success. |

There is no such thing as "risk-free." But you might start with a consumer staples company like Proctor & Gamble. |

There is no such thing as a risk-free stock, however, there are large companies that provide limited risk. General Electric, Altria, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, along with nearly all of the Dow Industrials are about as risk-free as they get. This isn't to say that they are risk-free however, all stocks are subject to market risk, such as the nearly 20% decline we just experienced in the broader market, but the Dow Industrials typically fare better. I will attach a webpage that contains the names of all 30 of the Dow Industrials that you can look at, a lot of the companies you will probably know, or at least have heard of before. Just some thoughts, I hope they helped.
Best of luck!

You have to be 18 to open an account yourself.
"Risk-free stock" is an oxymoron. There is no such thing. The risk-return tradeoff is that you have to take on additional risk in order to get greater returns than just leaving your money in the bank.
Your best bet is to invest in an ETF, which is an index that includes multiple larger companies. That will cut down the risk a lot.
I wouldn't start with investing anything less than $2,000 either. |

Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.
Go to : low-cost-stock-recommendations
.com
Click on the "DRIP's" Button on the Navigation Bar
These powerful investment plans are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.
They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. They are a must for any serious investor.
If you decide you are interested in DRIP Plans, click on the advertisement on the same page "$4 to purchase stocks". This will answer your next question, which is, How do I get started? and what is the least expensive way to get started?
I strongly recommend looking into it. They are great plans.
Good Luck |
