1) Find a broker. This is not as easy as it sounds because you need to decide if you are going with a discount broker, a full service broker, an online broker (different types also). Each choice offers different options and different fees.
2) Decide your risk tolerance. Risk tolerance will be decide how you invest. If you are aggressive, you will invest in companies with high growth potential BUT high risk for failure. If you have low risk tolerance, you will like steady companies which offer a dividend.
3) How much can you invest? How much can you add each week/month? This will tell how much you can buy and what. if you invest 5,000 - theoretically you can buy 100 shares of a $50 stock. Some say you cannot make money under 10K. i don't think this is true.
4) Read the experts. There are some very good books that can help you out. I like Mad Money; Watch TV Make Money by James Cramer. However there are others and they will teach you.
5) Investopedia: This is a GREAT website. It will allow you a virtual portfolio as well as allow you to read newsletters, terms and other research information. The virtual portfolio is a great way to see the market and how it works without using your money.
6) HOMEWORK! HOMEWORK! Research a lot before buying. Find out as much information about the company, it sector and industry and the market as a whole. Do not invest in a "pretty company." The idea is to make money.
7) Buy stock but keep learning. keep abreast of everything that goes on with the company. Read news about the company, the sector and industry.
8) Don't love the company because It does not love you. Sell when you make money. Sell if you hear accounting problems.
9) Buying in segments works well for me. I learned this from Cramer and have used it. I make an initial purchase. If my opinion stays the same, I purchase on weakness - lowering my average price. I do the same when I sell - however I sell n strength.
10) Repeat steps 2-9. |

Hi,
I have an article written for starters like you. You can read the same at http://amolsays.blogspot.com/2006/01/stock-trading-how-to-start.html.
Apart from this develop a habit of reading stocks related news on various websites like www.moneycontrol.com, www.bseindia.com, www.nse-india.com, and many more like these.
It will be helpful if you can browse through Economic Times, Financial Express and other magazines, dailies related to finance and investing.
To make yourself familiar with various familiar terms and learn some more basic, you can visit http://www.investopedia.com/university/stocks and also browse through other sections of the website.
Another useful website that I located and usually go through is www.moneycontrol.com/pehlakadam, this teaches you some basics of stocks and other investment options.
Hope this helps.
Happy investing,
Cheers. |

When You apply for your first job, you are nervous and fearful exactly like you are feeling for the stock market. But you are confident because you had over 15+ years of solid education to back you up. What is that you have to invest in stock market? Barely anything.
Hence, first thing to do is to educate yourself and then you will be confident enough to understand and place trades. Read through articles from India's NO1 stock blog, http://www.ddstockblog.com |

its simple!.
> you need to open 1 trading and 1 demat a/c with any of the brokerage houses.
> gather knowledge abt equities from various sources like books, magazines, wesites and friends. you shud have at least the basic info. wich i cant give u in this answer. its too large to fit an answer.
> enter the mkt only when you are fearless and confident: this is not to say that u will not lose money at all; but the chances are low if you are confident! |
