I'll give you what you need to know to make smart buys. The best way to go is a mutual fund. There are many companies who do this just find one and put money into it. Then you set what you want to invest in...what companies that is. The best way to go for sure profit is large corporations...don't worry about which ones...that's what the mutual fund is for...the accountant deals in what. He makes a small commission so you doing well is in his best interest. At the great depression...the average was still 3% gains. Today it's realistically 10%. Small corporations have a much higher percentage of increase in value because they start so low. Putting a quarter to a third of your mutual fund towards smaller companies wouldnt be a bad idea. If you have any other questions just email me...nbrikha@yahoo.com

Books  are  way  long  and  usually  out  of  date,  \nI  recommend  the  Yahoo  Finance education  101 (scroll down  on  the  left)\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/education/begin_investing\n\nthen  the  Motley  Fool  has  some interesting takes  on  things  and  there  are  several  columnists  whose  columns  are  good\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/columnist/allbios\n\nhttp://www.fool.com/index.htm?ref=topnav

Basic advice: if you're new to stocktrading start with longer term horizons first, to get a feeling for what you are getting into.\n \nThen:\n1. Read everything about daytrading you can get your hands on\n2. Invest in some software\n3. Develop a system \n4. Paper trade the system for a few months\n5. If you didn't make profit at point 4. go back to point 3.\n6. Open an account with at least $20000\n7. Start trading your system\n\n70% of all new daytraders give up within a year, mostly because they skipped points 1,3,4 and 5.

Companies issue and sell their stock to raise money. So stocks give you ownership of the company which issued stocks. Stock market is where stocks are being traded: sold and bought; example New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, etc. That's a 30-second overview. Go to website www.investopedia.com.. Very good website to get education. Also, there is a stock trader simulator, give it a try.

Here's a start - log on to Yahoo Finance.  Start reading the articles.\n\nIf you don't know much, just take a look at the closing prices of the S&P 500 every day, which is an "index" that covers most of the market.  That helps you get a feel for what "up and down" means.\n\nDon't spend money on research - learn how to understand company information.  The site below is great!  Avoid technical trading (buying or selling based on price movements, not company information) - it's simply not good for the beginning investor, and the folks in my office think it's crap, and I work for economists.\n\nBest to buy and hold a stock for at least 3-6 months.  A year or more saves on taxes!

There aren't any "good" stocks in a "bad" market. All ships rise and fall on the tide.\n\nWatch for the Downtrend of over 900 pts in the Dow to be broken, then look at "investing" again. The stocks that turn up quickest, or decline the least, are what you're looking for.\n\nThe stock price tells you whick ones are "good," not a hot tip.\n\nThere is no one indicator, there is no get rich quick scheme, there is no pot at the end of the rainbow. \n\nLike any vocation, investing or trading takes hard work, lots of study, and the testing of your theories, learning what makes you tick, learning your own particular time and stress levels, and fighting the emotions of fear, greed, and loss of hope.\n\nThere can be no great success in trading (life) without great commitment, hard work, discipline, and the realization of the “right” type of thinking.\n\nIt is the trader’s attitudes, beliefs, and discipline that ultimately yield results. Courage and positive attitudes combined with sound market principles and methods will, in time, result in the desired outcome. Your persistence and determination to succeed is, in the final analysis, the critical element.

Open an online brokerage account with Ameritrade, Scottrade, Tradeking etc and buy shares for say 2000 USD. Sell it after you have gained atleast twice of commission (say 10*2) by looking at ur balances every day. It may go down initially butdon't lose heart on that. It eventually will go up (2min, 2days, 2 years...). Stock investing is basically finding a safe stock which doesnot give you a loss after your waiting period and investing in it. \nTo a beginner like you a safe stock could be EWD

a gaurantee? the stock market has been built on the risk of people spending their money and hitting it big... then there are the stories of people jumping from the 122nd floor after they lost it all of course.\nso you have to factor that in.\nnothing good is free. or everyone would be doing it.\nnothing good/great in life comes without a risk.\neducate your self if you plan to do this. investigate the company, market, and the stocks. it takes time  to know what is the right direction... and even then you may be wrong... but being prepared to make an educated decision is your safest bet. and thats what the stock market is....a bet\ngood luck tho!
