I subscribe to one of their investment letters.  I just started about 4 months ago.  I did buy one of their recommendations.  Netflix.  It has done well. Up about 8 points. Not all of their recommendatios have done so well however.  For example they are very hot on Yahoo.  Maybe given enough time.  It is a good source of information on companies that are hopefully up and comers so to speak.  They have a ream of different investment letters so I somewhat wonder how much research actually goes into one.

Your question is too general.  Even in hot markets, you will find the occassional bargain if you are willing to accept something that needs work or perhaps has some less than ideal variable.

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

You really should go for the smaller markets that focus on the higher end clients.  This is where you may have a shot at making money.  \n\nWalmart is NOT the way.

You need to find business in Pakistani who are exproting goods to China.  Pakistani businesses is where you want to be.  Start there and work your way up from there.

As much as you don't like the bank...some might belong there. Take a look at various mutual funds...think about what sort of areas YOU think are growing in the US and in the world right now. Think China and other countries in Asia will be growing quickly over the next 5 to 10 years? Maybe put 1000 or 1500 in an Asian fund. Think telecom will be important? Put some in a telecom fund. Health care? Same thing. But I would also recommend putting a little in the bank...it'll give you a little cushion and might help pay down any credit cards or car loans you might have outstanding....

Commercial property is on the rise. Anything to do with retail is on a current sell out. Even investments in commercial property is rising very well. If youre in Rajasthan, the place is supposed to pick up rapidly for the IT and BPOs. Also, manufacturing in Rajasthan is on a rise. Contact some architects there. Or get in touch with a Civil Engineering/Construction firm immediately.

If it still trades in Spain, try setting up an account at http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/main.php . I have heard that they do a good job. Pretty much an online experience however, not much hand holding.\n\nConsider importing Olive Oil and creating your own brand. I love the stuff, but don't see any US traded commodities. You could also hit the supermarket and copy down all the brand names. Then look for companies that have Olive Oil as the major product.

No offense to the person whom answered previously regarding not investing in single stocks but investing in money markets and mutual funds but this information is seriously flawed.\nIf you are investing in steel, you are likely aware of the significant problems this industry has faced over the last several years.  Given this and the current economic cycle, steel could again face problems.  For this reason, if you are investing in individual sectors, you might want to consider buying a basket of stocks.  STQ is a good example - Phily exchange 15 stocks.\nIf you have a balanced portfolio, individual stocks is NOT like gambling.  Gambling is statistically a neutral event, yet returns for equity markets (individual stocks) are skewed to the right and thus have a positive return.  Investing in individual stocks, after doing homework, can lead to a strong portfolio if you are good at selecting investments.  But this is not for everyone and using a broker to "help" is not a good guarantee.  Start first with what you know, understand the financials, listen to company conference calls, and talk with the investor relations people.\nNow regarding levels, backstops, et al...\nI would suggest using Bigcharts.com.  Read a few books on charting -- it does have some validity to the subject but weigh the charts with the backdrop of the current economic conditions. For example, this explains the recent sell-off.  Ask yourself, what is the short interest in these stocks!  Use differant methods can often yld differant results with technicals (as can fundamentals).  But you have to do the work here.\nFor starters: drawing a line at the ~340 would provide a support resistance line that has been tested a few times.  Recently this was tested and held.   However, be aware that it did break a major uptrend that began in ~10/05 and continues to be declining.  IMHO, the 340 is likely to be a significant lvl.\nAs to the last point of the other person's comment.  Sorry to say, but Money Markets are not alternative investments to stocks.  Stocks are long-term while Money markets are short-term.

Frankly, if you are asking people for favourite stocks, then I think it is time you take a step back and improve on your financial literacy and investment education before you attempt to invest in anything. \n\nWho in today's dynamic society can guarantee that starbucks will last forever or at least until you retire? Who in today's dynamic society can guarantee the survivorship of any companies and hence their stock for 50 years until you retire? Who in today's dynamic society can guarantee that the stock market will not crash when or just before you retire? \n\nListening to free, off the street advice is an expressway to disaster and there is never one "God-Given-Sure-Shot-Highway-To-Freedom" Stock. \n\nRemember, just buying stocks and holding on does not make you an investor and does not guarantee you a nest egg... your nest could break faster than you expect and will hardly last your lifetime if you do not have any investing knowledge.\n\nIf you want to just invest monthly and forget about it hoping that someday in the future you will have enough to retire on, then you probably want to look at some investment linked endowment plans with a financial planner instead. The stock markets is no place for amateurs with completely no knowledge.\n\nRead more good books and articles on investments to expand your vision and horizon before you decide to go deeper into the subject. For some of the best investment books that I have ever read, please visit http://www.bestoptiontradingbooks.com and for some of the must-read investment articles that I wrote personally, please visit http://www.mastersoequity.com/articles.htm\n\n\nHope these information helps and good luck on your journey to financial excellence.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.mastersoequity.com\n\n\n\n\n.

I've been studing the market game for about a year now, i didn't knew anything a year ago, I havent invested anything yet, i've just been practicing in stock simulators like stocktrak.com for about 2 months now, im happy i've made almost a 7% in my simulations (im happy with that since i am a rookie), I think I need to do a lot more reading, studing and practicing before I invest a single dollar for real. I think now I understand the markets much better.\n\nSince I am in a similar position as you are, just 1 year ahead studing :) , I would strongly recommend you to start by studing Profr. Peter Navarro's material. First I studied his audio course "Big picture investing", and read his books "when is raining in Brazil buy Starbucks", "when the markets move will you be ready?" and now i'm reading his most recent book "the well timed strategy", for me it was great to start with the audio course, since he explains the basics to understand the market, and it comes with a very didactic printed course guide. Profr. Navarro has been a great teacher for me, I don't think there are other books as good as this for a beginer, and belive me, i've done my research and been reading a lot!! after the audio course i was able to understand and take more "juice" from his books and other books that I have read, I recommend you to do the same thing.\n\nRegarding the Can Slim system teached by IBD's Bill O'Neal, I think he is a real master, his investing approach is great and relatively easy to follow if you use the investing tools on investors bussiness daily and do your research homework every day, actually, I just took the Can Slim Level I Seminar some weeks ago, and I am already subscribed for the level II seminar to be held at the end of this month, BUT, if i hadn't studied Profr. Navarro's material before, I am shure I would understanded much less from the can slim seminar, so I recomend you to start with Profr. Peter Navarro's material, its great material and has been a lot of help for me.\n\nYou can find Profr. Navarro's audio courses and books at barnes and noble, either in the book store or online, is not an expensive material, i would have pay 10 times its price, its worth much more.\n\nAnd, once you start to study, the learning curve never ends!! start with Prof. Navarro, before you buy any material much more expensive and not worth its price, belive me i've done it :(..im shure you will thank me.\n\nGood luck!!!

Dude, you need to check out what is called an indexed mutual fund. The way it works is the company guarantees your full invested capital; so you can't lose that. The money that they make is added to the value of your fund, but you have to lock it in for a minimum amount of time; can be as long as ten years. This is a good place to start out. If your feeling more daring invest in silver or mining companies like Pan American Silver trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PAA. This baby is on rails right now, you can check them out on their web site and research their history. Hey your the blunt guy aren't you? Well good luck towards your first million and keep living the American dream.

I would focus on an awareness campaign among young, health-concious yuppies (you know, the granola-types who shop at specialty health-food stores).  The castor oil market is competitive because there is no differentiation between brands, but the market is not deeply penetrated.  I haven't done the research, but I think that these days it is something that only senior citizens use.  You could focus a multi-dimensional campaign on a new generation of potential users.
