If you are not into a lot of risk I would recommend proven, blue chip stocks like McDonalds, Coca cola, and others that have a good record and also pay dividends.\n\nIf you don't have a lot of money to invest (less than $5,000) than maybe one of the cheaper investment portfolios like PHY. (around $3 a share)\n\nThe key to any investment is research, research and more research.  Make sure you understand the company and what they do or sell.\n\nI would also recommend one of the online traders since they only charge $7 a trade.  Most like Scottrade and Etrade are very reliable.\n\nOne further recommendation, Yahoo has some excellent tools in yahoo finance to help you including stock screeners and portfolio management.  Before you invest, pick out a few stocks you are thinking about putting your money in and set up a free sample portfolio.  You can set it up to show performance (gains and losses). Watch it for a month or 2 and see how much money you would have gained or lost.  That may give you an idea of profits/risk before you invest any real money.

Hello,\nWelcome to the investment world.\nSince you do not have a prior experiance of investment then forget about managing your own portfolio. Choose to invest in any mutual funds.  One thing you have to keep in mind is the higher the return on the fund, the riskier it is. so whats your risk level?\nSome mutual fund are made for capital gain and some for dividends(income)... so which one do you prefere?\n\nYou might want a fund that is focused on hot secters like: oil, gas, biotech, hightech... the future is looking good for these sectors. \nI have put my money with Fidelity, TD waterhouse(canada).. in a very risky aggressive funds and they showed handsome returns...\n\nhope this will help..!\nSpecialist$$$

Find a few solid companies that have been around awhile, trading around $3-5. Do your research and look at the charts seeing how it performs.  What you want to find is something called a "rolling stock". This is a stock that goes up and down about $0.25 a few times a day. Once you research and find a few candidates. Your strategy is to Buy a stock and sell it when it goes up $0.25. The same after selling it, sell it short (this is the exact opposite of buying, in this case you want the stock to go down) when it drops $0.25 unload it, and buy again, do this up and down thing as many times as possible. Practice. Practice Practice. Don’t let your profit get eaten up by brokerage fees, try http://etrade.com Good luck!

I'm buying carefully chosen stocks that appear to be very undervalued with big moats.  \n\nI sold out a lot of positions just before the fall so have plenty of cash - planning on putting about half of it back in the market between now and mid July.

Best Investment(s): Aquarius Platinum (AQP.L) - bought £5 worth last July via Halifax SHAREBUILDER (franchised from sharebuilder.com for the UK market)..... got as high as about 114% in profit before crashing back down to about 79% in profit.\nWOLFSON Microelectronics (WLF.L) - makes things like the sound chips used in the SONY PSP, XBOX360 + Video iPod. Stuck a tenner on them at the end of November '05. Currently +56.82% in profit, but that's only after they took a couple of big drops on Friday & Monday (28.00 on Monday).\n\nWorst Investment: Goshawk Insurance Holdings (GOS.L) - bought earlier this year as a bit of a dabble in "bottom fishing", appears they have de-listed. Bought 67.253522 in them for £5 (sharebuilder again)\n\nTinsley (Eliza) - TNL.L  Shares suspended since end of january due to company being put in administration (so much for making a huge profit on their low valued shares: 20.95123 for £5.\n\nD1 Oils (DOO.L) - one of my first investments early last year. The first I sold 'cos the value was going up & down like a prostitute's knickers on a good night. Was £5.12 in profit at the time, but only got 12p back after the commission fee was deducted.
