Depends on your investment goals and strategy. Generally, I suggest you buy low and sell high. |

I think the best way to learn about the stock market is to see what the best investors are buying and selling. This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site where you can create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks compare with those of other traders. You can read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own thoughts on the market.
Here are this month's best traders:

The first step is to do your research. I would recommend going to www.investopedia.com and reading their tutorials. It is a very helpful website. From there, do what your research tells you to do. |

Talk to a broker.... but most of them will tell you that unless you have at least $100K, it's not worth it. |

By ETF shares. DIA for Dow 30 companies. SPDR is for S&P 500. Open an a/c with TDAmeritrade which charges $10 per trade. |

Definitely look at your newspaper at rates and money issues. Right now bank and oil stocks are great. The Real-Estate Market is also a winner. If you go online to Bank of America info you can find out cool info on stocks there! |

Start with a Total Stock Market Index (Wilshire 5000) or S&P ETF or mutual fund. With more money, you can diversify into large/mid/small cap value and growth funds. |

First you need a brokerage account for which I recommend Zecco.com becasue they have free trading. Here are a few lessons I have learned that you can toy with:
DIVERSIFTY
DO YOUR HOMEWORK
HAVE A PLAN
DONT PANIC
DONT BUY ALL AT ONCE
DONT GIVE UP |

First meet these criteria:
1) Max contribution made to your 401K for the remainder of this year
2) Zero debt except possibly mortgage. This includes car payment
3) Own your home and not renting or dedicating money monthly to saving for a 30% home downpayment and do not plan on investing the money into the market
4) Cash on hand in easily accessed liquid form (savings or short term CD's) to survive for 90 days
5) Insurance such as AFLAC to cover long term injuries paid up
6) Able to invest the money with the absolute surety that should you loose the money you will not in any way miss the funds
Once you meet these criteria, work with a financial firm such as Wells-Fargo or other bank that offers mutual funds and stocks. They can work you into a better tax deferred position as well as determining your risk adversity.
After you feel comfortable with an amount going regularly into your IRA and mutual funds blend with a target date for retirement, all of your debt remains at zero and you have only a mortgage payment use your risk adversity profile to invest in stocks. Check with your broker to have a solid education before you begin investing yourself.
Done right it is the most solid long term investment available but you can get cleaned out faster than Vegas if you aren't careful. Have fun! |

Don't. Invest in real estate. It's a sure thing- the one investment guaranteed to grow over time. The stock market is a game that you can never control. |
