Your best bet is to buy S&P DEP RECEIPTS (Symbol SPY).  they give you the diversity of the S&P 500 index.

If you're willing to accept the risk of losing it all, buy a call or a put option that's just out of the money.  In other words, pick a publicly traded company (with a lot of volume) that you feel strongly about.  You can make a lot of money quickly if you think the stock will rise or fall and you pick it correctly.  For example, say you think that you have a strong opinion on Microsoft (MSFT), here's what you do:\n\nThe stock is currently trading at $28.77\n\nIf you think it will go up, buy a CALL option, which gives you the right (but not the obligation) to buy MSFT a higher price.  For example, you can currently get a DEC 30 Call on MSFT for .20 per share on a contract (of 100 shares).  \n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSQLK.X\n\nSay you buy 5 contracts and the stock goes up to $32 before Dec., you can either sell to close your option for the going price or exercise it at $30 and make $2 per share.  Here's what you would net:\n\nPurchased 5 contract ($.20 * 100 * 5) plus say $15 commission = $115\n\nExercised ($30 * 5 * 100) = $15,000\n\nSold ($32 * 5 * 100) + $15 commission = $15,985\n\nMade $15,985 - $15,000 - $115 = $870 profit on $115 or 405% return.\n\nTruth be told you'd probably just sell the option, but the profit would be about the same.  If you think MSFT will go down, just do the same thing with a PUT option.  That said, if you guess wrong you could lose your initial $115 and if it doesn't move much you could lose most (or all of your money).

The best way to do anything yourself is to learn something about it first. You'd be surprised at the thousands of books available on this one subject at your local library.\n\nBut most people spend more time deciding the color of their new car, than they do on a mutual fund advisor, for example. \n\nAre you really wanting to do this yourself, or are you asking about someone who is an expert who can do it for you?\n\nIf you invest in the stock market right now, or just buy into all the ETF's you can afford, it's a crap shoot, like rolling the dice, and the odds are probably not in your favor, whether you have an expert fund manager or not, because mutual funds are always "in" the market.\n\nThey say "Buy and Hold" for the long term is better, but that depends on when you get in, and what your definiton of "long term" is. The phrase "Buy low and sell high" infers that you buy after a decline; decidedly not the case here.\n\nThe Dow is now approaching all-time highs last seen in Jan 2000, so if your long-term definition is more than seven years, then you won't mind waiting another seven years for a profit.\n\nIn my opinion, the name of the game is capital preservation. When the risks are high, like right now, you get out of the stock and bond markets and park your cash in a interest bearing money market fund or CD or Treasury Bill.\n\nThis is simply not a good entry point for investors. Be patient, wait a few months, and you'll be able to buy much more stock a lot cheaper, the risks will be lower (even though they will seem higher), and your chance of success greater.\n\nIf you wish to research the “Buy and Hold Strategy” further, or perhaps trade yourself, I recommend two book titles. One is called "Which Is Better, Buy-and-Hold or Market Timing?" The other is "Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Market Timer?" They will give you plenty to think about.

At the end of the day it's your money and you are the one responsible for it's performance. Are you investing in stocks or mutual funds? \n\nThe wisdom of averaging into stocks is debatable. If you want to dollar cost average into mutual funds a decent strategy would be to buy a fund comparable to the Russell 2000, Nasdaq or S&P500 when it is well below it's 200 day moving average. Maybe try buying in fifths. It has been a while since this last happened, you never know what the future will bring.\n\nThere are no guarantees in investing.\n\nFollow Up: Learn what a 200 day moving average is. Leave your money in a Money Market Fund until what you want to buy is well below it's 200 day moving average. \n\nThis only happens once and a while, five times would probably be better than ten times, depends on how many years you're going to hold it for, and in the end it's your decision.\n\nDon't do it on a set schedule. Buy when the market is down.\n\n"Buy when there is blood in the streets."

Buy a diversified series of HIGH QUALITY, LOW EXPENSE mutual funds. One good piece of advice is that especially when just starting out, owning individual stocks is just way too risky. In many cases, it's more akin to gambling than investing. So go with mutual funds, which are much more diversified, and therefore spread the risk among many, many more holdings. The key, of course, is buying quality. So make sure you hit ALL the asset classes, like Large cap stocks, small/mid cap stocks, international stocks, emerging markets stocks, government debt, corporate debt, hi-yield debt, foreign debt, emerging markets debt, real estate, commodities, and precious metals. That's 12 categories right there, so with $1200, you're talking about $100 each. This is called asset allocation, and it's a step beyond simple "diversification", which most idiots think is buying a hardware tech stock AND a software tech stock.\n\nAdd systematically on a monthly basis. That means make sure you put the same amount of money in every month, no matter what. Soon you won't even care what any of the markets are doing. They're up? Great! Some of my investments are worth more. They're down? Great! Now I'm buying quality investments at an "on sale" price.\n\nThen sit back and re-balance each year, back to your original percentages. Again, this is called asset allocation. It's is very important, perhaps the most important thing you can do with your money. The thinking being, what's BEEN hot is more than likely not going to STAY hot. All markets are cyclical. There's hundreds of years of data to back this up. Yet some people still think they can ride the next hot wave. They usually wind up begging on the street for beer money.\n\nNow, this sort of portfolio should average 8-12% per year, so just split the difference and say 10% on average. Will it do 10% EVERY year? Of course not. I'd be surprised if it EVER did EXACTLY 10%. That's an annual average. With that average, your money should double roughly every 7 years.\nSo, if you're starting with $1200 or so like I said in my example, then in 7 years , even if you added no more money, you should have about $2,400\nin 14 years you should have about $4,800\nin 21 years you should have about $9,600\nin 28 years you should have about $19,200\nin 35 years you should have about $38,400\nin 42 years you should have about $76,800\nin 49 years you should have about $153,600\nin 56 years you should have about $307,200\nin 63 years you should have about $614,400\nin 70 years you should have about $1,228,800!\n\nOf course, if you keep adding money in that $100 a month, you'll become a millionaire MUCH sooner. The key is discipline, and sticking in when markets are up OR down. Don't try to time the market--you'll NEVER get it right.\n\nBy the way, here's a handy formula:\n\n$100/month x 12% x 20 years = $100,000.\n\nSo if you need $300,000 in 20 years and have no idea how to get it, just save $300 a month and you're there. If you don't get 12%, you'll wind up with less naturally. But IF you still wind up with $250,000, I'd call that one hell of a failure.\n\nOh, and if you qualify on income limits (generally, if you're a single filer and make under $90,000/yr), and do this all in a Roth IRA? Then every penny will be 100% TAX-FREE. That's a deal that's too good to pass up. That's why I tell anyone who's under 30--if you make under $90,000, and therefore qualify to do a Roth, you'd be a fool not to. Just having the power of youth (and therefore time) on your side is such an advantage, to squander it would be such a waste!\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

An answer would take volumes to provide, so let me suggest some literature: \n\nI would recommend William O'Neil's "The Successful Investor" as a good starting point. Follow that up with Peter Lynch's "Beating the Street". That should provide you with two strategies that you can learn from in building your own investment strategy.\n\nOther good books include "The Motley Fool Investment Guide" by Tom and Dave Gardner or "Real Money" by James Cramer.\n\nI have read all the books above and devised a strategy that adopts a bit from each one. \n\nAnother thing you can do is invest using a fictional portfolio. Let that run for a few months to see if you are ready to take on wall street. In the meantime, let a professional look after your money (ie, mutual funds). Once you are ready, sell the fund and invest on your own.\n\nRemember, the time spend learning about investing is far less then the money lost by not being prepared.\n\nGood luck.

To best grow your money you first need to establish the amount of risk your willing to take. Low risk, get into bonds or money market accounts and expect about 5-6% annually. Mutual funds will offer the full range from 5-20% on average, but the more gain means the more lost. For the most aggressive risk (and therefore gain) play in individual stocks, options or on forex (foreign exchange currency market).\n\nThe most important thing is to spread your money around, don't lump all your capital into one or two stocks, because your setting yourself up to take major losses. Educate yourself before jumping into anything. Investopedia.com is a good resource for that - just remember that they are supported by various brokers and agencies, so take recommendations lightly. They do, however, provide good solid information on the basics.

Are you after short term gains, safe investments for the long term\n, mixed risk investments?\n\nWhat is your risk/reward strategy?\nTimescales?\nCan you afford to lose it ALL if the shares crash?\n\nUntil you know these answers, we cannot REALLY help you - other than give suggestions which SOUND good but might cause you all sorts of problems if they were not the right answers for you.\n\nIf you do not understand the market at all, then learning a little about it would be a GREAT idea. Also, if you expect people to give you investment advice and ideas, you might take the trouble to write a proper sentence WITH reasonable spelling - otherwise most folks will take you as a "txt-talking kid"

You can get a feel for the "game" and not own a share of any stock. Select some stocks you think might be a good buy and set up a portfolio on a spreadsheet. Follow the stocks over a period of time and see how you did. Have a reason why you picked each stock and see if it turns out to be correct.\n\nAlso pick a couple of good index mutual funds from Vanguard, Fidelity, T Rowe Price and see how they do. I'd bet in a year they will be doing better than the total of the stocks you pick yourself.

None.  IMHO, you should start by learning how to invest, determining WHAT to buy through Fundamental Analysis and determining WHEN to buy with Technical Analysis. \n\nIMO, newsletters only make narrow recomendations based on their system of analysis and investment strategies, and often they are compensated heavily for their recomendations and therefore dangerously biased.   I firmly believe that to get a clear picture about any stock, and to determine whether you're actually going to invest in it, it's best to do your own research and adapt a system that meets your investment needs, style and risk level.  There are many stocks ripe for the picking just about at any time if you know how and where to look.\n\nStart with Investors.com, it's William O'Neil's online version of Investors Business Daily.  The How To Invest section is the best place to start learning the importance of Fundamentals and the basics of Technical Analysis.   The site has the IBD 100, a cross index list of the market leaders, the Stock Checkup, a great tool for checking fundamentals on any stock, and articles and analysis of stocks and general market conditions.  They also run various screens every day which in addition to the other lists, (IBD100, New America, stocks under $10, CANSLIM select, ect) are very helpful for finding investment ideas with solid Fundementals that are ready to move.  The CANSLIM method alone is a very successful and popular trading system, but I prefer to use a combination of Fund & Tech Analysis, rather that just the rating system alone.\n\nFrom there you can move on to more detailed study of Technical Analysis.  \n\nStart with StockCharts.com, they have an excellent free Chart School which helpfully explains various chart patterns and Technical Indicators and overlays.  Pay particular attention to the Chart Patterns section, and make sure you learn about Zig Zag patterns, Bollinger Bands, Moving Average, Volume, RSI, the MACD (Mac-D), The Williams %er, Stochastics, and the Chaikin Money Flow.  Sounds complicated, but when you start chart reading you'll want about a half a dozen or so of these overlays and indicators.  I personally rely heavily on the ZIG-ZAG, MACD, Chaikin Money Flow, Volume, Moving Average and RSI.\n\nStockTA.com is also an excellent Technical Analysis site, with charted Fibonacci resistance and support lines and will tell you if the stock is bullish or bearish in the short, medium and long run.  The site also has an extensive Candle Pattern Glossary and a fantastic technical screener.\n\nThe above sites do have premium services, but all the services I mentioned are free.  After you've absorbed some of the Technical information, do some reading on Fibonacci numbers and Elliot Wave theory, there are good links in the "School" section of StockTA.com.  I've been using Elliot Wave and Fibonacci's to help refine my in and out points.  StockCharts.com's "ZigZag" overlay helps me plot and count the waves and that helps determine where I am in the overall pattern.  \n\nSo basically I'll find interesting stocks through the screens on Investors.com or StockTA.com, run them through the Stock Checkup at Investors.com, if they measure up I'll run them through the Analyisis & Fib Analysis at StockTA.com and do an extensive chart study, examining the 2 yr, 1 yr, 6 mth, 3 mth, 1 mth & 5 day.  I'll also do my due dilligence, studying the profile, key statistics, headlines, etc. through Yahoo Finance and web searches.  If it all measures up and the stock is in a base or in a pull back and it's starting a wave 1 or wave 3, it's time to buy.\n\nRemember, always protect your downside with a stop loss or a trailing stop loss.  Once you have absorbed a few of the things I've mentioned, the fog will begin to lift and you'll start seeing which stocks should be bought or sold and you'll be able to do your own analysis on any stock, no matter where

Only one way to make your money go farther:  BORROW.\n\nOptions:  These are contracts that you buy which, if they meet a certain criteria, allow you to purchase shares at a set price at a set time.  For instance, a contract to buy 100 google shares at $225 on April 1st.  YOu might pay $70 for this contract (at least).\n\nOn April 1st, you have to buy the google shares.  If they are worth more than the $70 price in your contract, you gain 100 shares times the difference.  BUT>...  if they are worth less, you have lost the difference.\n\nI recommend you check out www.motleyfool.com or other investing sites.  When in doubt, check with a professional.\n\nAlso, online stock challenges are a good way to hone your skills and strategies without risk.  JUst write "stock challenge" into any search engine.  GOOD LUCK!

I would suggest that you work with a professional broker or financial advisor - they can recommend funds & stocks that meet your needs.\n\nAsk someone you trust to recommend someone they trust.\n\nI know nothing about stocks & investing, but I've managed (on average) make some money (and not lose it) in stocks, _only_ becasue I have a broker who I can trust.

I came across a perosnal website by R. Kannan on the subject of investmnet. The site is http://www.geocities.com/kstability/student/kgl/invest1.html\n\nWhile investment basics are the same everywhere, there are intricacies related to market regulations in different countries. If your goal is investment, then a logical place to start after reading investment basics article ( link above) would be to subscribe to a financial publication ( Financial Times etc ) and stay abreast of market developments. Market knowledge is something you acquire over time and if you devote a little time every day, you may notice the difference in your understanding of the market in as little as 1 month. But that would be just a start. Stay informed and the best way of doing that is keeping pace with the market

I would open an account with sharebuilder, there are very cheap and you do not have to buy tons of stocks. They have good investment tools also. In my opinion, the most important thing is to be consistant and make sure you are putting something away every week or month. It becomes a good habit and the money starts to pile up.

Buy high quality stocks in companies that you know something about.Start by looking for names in your kitchen cupboard, your garage, your cleaning supplies closet, or on your telephone bill or utility bill.  Go to the reference Dept at your library and read Value Line, Standard & Poors Outlook, and Morningstar. Also look on the Internet;(Quicken.com Zack's Brokerage Reports.com MSN Money.com. Morningstar.com, Best investing Sites.com Market watch.com Businessweek.com, Forbes.com Buy only the ones that won't cause you to lose sleep at night.  If your stocks go down in value, don't worry.  The good ones will come back.But use money that you won't need for 4-5-6 years. You can start buying at any time, although the market seems to be a bit high right now.  Be patient and buy stocks gradually. Look into "DRIPS"(Dividend Reinvestment Programs). It's better than compound interest at the bank
