Your question reveals the fact that you are a complete newbie with very weak basic, fundamental knowledge in the stock markets and is about to do something you might regret for a very long time.\n\nInvesting or trading the stock markets never start from asking how to buy a certain stock (lets not even get into why you want to buy SIRI in the first place because you won't be able to answer why either.)... it starts from adequate investment and trading knowledge. There are quite a number of things you need to learn before you can even start thinking of the stock markets ...\n\n1. You need to understand how the stock market works and what it is exactly about.\n\n2. You need to know what are the different styles of trading in stocks and shares. \n\n3. You need to read about why so many people lose their shirts in the stock markets so that you can avoid their mistakes and also decide if this is a risk you want to take.\n\nFor all these issues and more, you can read about them from some of the articles that I wrote at http://www.mastersoequity.com/articles.htm \n\nAfter you are adequately armed with the basic concepts and ideas, you need to know how to find profitable stocks to trade or invest in. You can do that the easy way by subscribing to stock pick services (example http://www.stockpickmaster.com ) or you can learn to use charting tools and softwares to find stocks with parameters that you can pre-define. (example http://www.worden.com ) \n\nAll in all, investment and trading is a lifelong education and non stop learning. No one is ever done learning and catching up with changes in the markets. \n\nIf you care to read about how I went from completely broke to retired millionaire trading stocks and options by 28 years old, you can go to http://www.mastersoequity.com/\n\nRemember, the slogan "Just Do It", Just won't do for the stock markets. If profiting in the stock markets is as simple as buying a single stock , then why are so many people still poor?\n\nAfter you have all the above mentioned knowledge, you need to ask the following golden questions before you can decide whether a stock is worth buying or not :\n\n1. Why are you of the opinion that this stock will rise?\n\n2. Is your opinion valid in the first place?\n\n3. When are you expecting it to rise? Can you hold on for that period of time or longer?\n\n4. What is your expected entry price? After what price would your expected profit margin be too thin to enter upon?\n\n5. Where is your expected stop loss point? What is your stop loss point based on? Where will you tell yourself that it is time to take a loss and get out?\n\n6. Where is your expected profit taking point? What is your profit taking point based on? \n\n7. Does the way you are buying the stock allow you to hold on until your expected profit taking point?\n\n8. How much of your money should you dedicate to this one trade?\n\n9. What is the level of primary, secondary and idiosyncratic risk you are undertaking when deciding how much of your fund to use?\n\n10. What is your cashflow need? Does your cashflow needs allow you to hold the full lifetime of the stock?\n\nAfter you are able to answer all these questions confidently, THEN you are ready to... PAPER TRADE your stock strategy. Yes, even at this point, you are NOT READY to trade for real. You should trade on PAPER for at least 6 months and become consistently successful BEFORE you take your stock strategy into real life.\n\nThen.. you are ready to start... but there is still no guarantee of success as paper trading is very different from real trading. You will need another maybe 1 year or 2 trading very little money and be consistently successful BEFORE you are ready to increase your stakes.\n\n\nSo, as you can see, success in the stock markets is not easy at all the the less knowledge you have, the more risk you undertake.  I lost hundreds of thousands in the stock markets before I become successful.\n\nTake heed and good luck.\n\n\n\n

A capital market allows investors (institutional and private) to participate in the success of a wide variety of different markets and industries with limited liability.   A capital market really is just a stock market.   Returns are based on the success of the firm using the capital.  If a company captures economic profits all owners (theoretically) should benefit in porpotion to their interests.

a general understanding of commodity trading, portfolio management and economic trends would seem to be in order. Most jobs require at least a B.S. Most of the jobs I saw were looking for someone that had 5 years experience or an advance degree (Financial Engineering was hot last year).\n\nFXGame - Currency Trading Game might be a way to test some of your knowledge and skills without risking any cash.

There a few things I can not remember them all. Companies have to have a certain amount of Market Capital to be on certain exchanges is one. Say a small capital company may not be able to list on AMEX but they can on NASDAQ. They just have different criteria for becoming a member.

NSC gives poor returns like 9% per annum. instead mutual funds like Tata Mutual, Sundaram Mutual could be good to remain invested. But you should go into MFs if you can remain invested for atleat 1 year. They can give you anything between 12% to 100% returns. About investing in stocks, this is a very volatile time, but if you can put some capital go for frontline companies like ITC, Bajaj, RIL, ONGC, ICICI Bank.. these are expensive buys but companies like RIL and ONGC rarely fail.\n\nBut, believe me there's no short-cut honest way to make money in 2 mins. You also need patience. Why don't you think about giving tutions, or even looking for a call-center job. The latter may not be a bed of roses, but if you are in dire need give it a try.\n\nAll the best!

Considering that you are a novice, would recommend that you invest in some Mutual Funds. There are several Indian Mutual Funds that have been on the tear thanks to the run away Sensex situation and overall confidence in the economy. The market looks like overvalued right now. Wait for a correction and then jump right in. Look up Fidelity, HDFC, DSPML, Franklin India etc.\n\nIf you still want to invest directly in the marketplace i.e buy share of a particular company... look for IPO opportunities rather than chasing existing listings.

If you are an NRI(non resident Indian) or related to an NRI, try opening a checking account with a financial institution like ICICI bank. Purchase directly from brokers in India making sure of reputation and insurance of brokers..I would say you are still better off investing in MF(mutual funds) having  Latin America, European Growth funds, Energy funds etc. Indian stocks of only few(security, defense, hightech) companies are promising though Indian MF have had better returns(10% +). Fidelity has some MF that do have Indian stocks. Charles Schwab might have opened an overseas department in India. They do have one in Pakistan. Singapore depositories are new that make it easy to invest in foriegn stockds. Good luck but be careful.The Silicon valley BOOM has shifted to silicon India...BUST might be inevitable.

Capital Market Products\nAs financial institutions, particularly depository institutions, have faced increased competition and reduced profits in their traditional markets, many have turned to capital market products as an alternative income source. Our lawyers can be very helpful to financial services clients in this important area because we know the market and the legal issues involved in the development and sale of capital market products. \n\n\nSome of the capital market products we have helped financial institutions develop, document and market are: \n\nLoan Sales.  We have had extensive experience in representing the syndications departments of domestic and foreign banks, including the negotiation and documentation of assignment and participation agreements by buyers and sellers for both the sales and trading of par and distressed debt. We also understand what a bank or thrift embarking on a loan sale program must do to its loan documentation to make it "saleable." \nSwaps, Caps, Collars, etc.  We have assisted major banks in both pre-ISDA and ISDA documentation of these products so we know the issues and pressure points. We are also familiar with commodity swaps. \nSecuritizations.  We have represented financial institutions in the securitization of virtually every asset imaginable, from accounts receivable and auto loans to HLTs and non-performing assets. \nPublic Finance.  We have been a leading firm active in public finance transactions nationwide for more than 100 years. We serve as bond counsel, underwriter's counsel, issuer's counsel, indenture trustee's counsel, credit enhancer's counsel, special disclosure counsel, and special tax counsel in a wide variety of public finance transactions for state and local governments, authorities, and non-profit organizations such as health care and educational institutions.

India.  Lots of financial companies are now outsourcing their financial analysis to India.  But I doubt that's what you had in mind.\n\nYou could start by getting a job with a local office of an international finance company or investment bank, and then see if they would transfer you abroad.  It might be the easiest way to do this, and the company would take care of all the paperwork for you.

Lots of different ways . . .\n\no  As already suggested, get a job in sales at a brokerage firm and get your Series 7\n\no  Check out financial advisory firms if giving personal advice is more your preference than sales\n\no  Check out bank trust departments -- lots of potential jobs from sales to advisory to portfolio management (fixed income as well as equities).  A good place to get some hands on investment experience.\n\no  Financial subs of major companies.  Jobs might involve raising funds via sale of short-term debt, cash management, equity and debt financing, etc.\n\no  Check out major financial firms (primarily in NYC) that are involved in merger and acquisition activities (e.g., Morgan Stanley).  If you're really, really good and willing to commit your life to your job, you can make a lot of bucks in this area.\n\nThese are just a few of the alternatives.  Also, keep in mind that you should be willing to take most any job to get your foot in the door.  If you have the educational background, are really smart, have a lot of initiative, and show an affinity for the investment business, you can advance very rapidly.  True invest pros have no (I repeat NO) tolerance for incompetence or lack of drive, but will overwhelm you with opportunity to be successful if you "show the right stuff."  The investment field is not a good choice for the average person or the timid.\n\nBy the way, your engineering degree implies strong quantitative abilities.  This gives you a leg up on your competition and is something of substantial value in the investment arena.

Ecomics when combined with another professional certification like the CFA can be a potent combination that most investment banks look for. \n\nThere are some entry level positions available with the Federal Govt which can be used to gain experience at the onset of your career.\nhttp://federalgovernmentjobs.us/job-search/economics-assistant-0119.html
