I personally believe in mutual funds as I have no idea about stock markets. To make good money, invest systematically in well managed diversified equity growth funds. Usually set target for your retirement or kids college tution. I bumped into this blog directly related to India. http://www.dalalstreet.biz/2006/06/sip-art-of-investing-in.html\n\nMaybe this will help.

I don't there are any exchange traded funs for Sensex. But I beleive ICICI is working on launcing one soon, similar to Spice which was launched with little success! You might as well trade in F&O.

Just starting out, a mutul fund is a good approach. Some you can buy from brokers like Fidelity or TD Ameritrade.  Others you need to buy directly from the mutual fund company.  There are some good funds but most are not so you must do your research.  To begin with search for funds that have a good long term record and are invested mostly in stocks.  Windsor fund is one offered by Vanguard although its record over the last 5 years has not been too good.  The best performing funds over the last 5 years have been gold funds, oil funds, and foreign market funds.  Your guess is as good as mine as to whether that will continue but China looks rather more enticing than the U S for sure.

Currently, if youre investing, I would advise Mysore, Karnataka; Jaipur, Rajasthan; Vizak, Cochin, Pune or places in Gujarat. Beware of letigation or fraud properties. It is definitely one of the best times to invest in India right now. And a very good idea to invest and lease. Gauranteed returns. But BE QUICK!

If you live in India, consider buying mutual funds from a company such as HDFC.  There are others but I am most familiar with HDFC.  That way you can get diversification and be able to add amounts when you wish. \n\nNow is a good time to begin.  The market is down considerably and the values are much better than they were a month ago.  But bear markets tend to run longer than people sometimes suspect so if you do decide to invest, do not jump in with both feet. Only invest a portion of the amount that you would desire to invest.  Then a month or two later add a little bit more. And later a little more. \n\nMany people get over excited when the market goes up and they want to jump on the wagon.  When the market has risen a good deal, that is the time to increase your cash reserve rather than buy more investments.

Don't try to time the market.  There's a ton of money in the global financial market.  Just periodically invest by your asset allocation percentage.

Is it too late to cash in on China's boom? An index that tracks the stocks of mainland companies listed in Hong Kong shot up 85% this year, leaving Chinese stocks looking more expensive than they have been in years. But the most celebrated of all foreign investors in China thinks the country's potential has barely been tapped. \n\nMark Mobius, a mutual-fund manager for U.S. investment company Franklin Templeton, became interested in the mainland 30 years ago, when the only way to invest was through deals at the Canton trade fair. Making a China play is simpler today. The Mobius-managed Templeton China World fund, which buys shares of companies operating in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, has risen 50% over the past year, and Mobius is counting on the good times continuing. "The economy is at a take-off stage, with 7-8% growth, and a rise in per capita income," he says. \n\nThe best way to play China is through so-called H shares, mainland companies listed in Hong Kong. They "offer their shareholders the best management and disclosure," Mobius says. Another favorite of overseas investors are "red chips"—Hong Kong-based companies in which mainland entities are significant shareholders. Focus first on firms dealing in commodities, which are essential raw materials for China's fast-growing industries. Mobius has invested in Sinopec (China Petroleum and Chemical Corp.), which makes petrochemicals and drills for oil and gas. He also recommends companies whose growth is being fueled by China's consumers, such as China Mobile, which has the world's largest mobile-phone subscriber base, and China Travel, a travel-service giant. \n\nMainland stocks might be riskier than other investments, in part because the Chinese government often has significant ownership positions in the country's listed companies. Should it sell down its holdings, share prices could tumble. Risk is one reason Todd Henry, an analyst with mutual-fund company T. Rowe Price, suggests taking the indirect route. Henry recommends investing in multinational companies that have fast-growing mainland operations or will otherwise benefit from the mainland boom. One example: Impala Platinum, a South African supplier of platinum, which will gain from mainlanders' growing desire for jewelry. Marc Faber, a Thailand-based investment strategist, thinks China's middle-class citizens will spend more time traveling in Asia. He suggests investors keep an eye out for shares of tourism-related companies in countries such as Thailand and Vietnam. \n\nProfiting from China without getting burned is currently an obsession with the international investment community. A recent report by investment bank Merrill Lynch suggests an ingenious solution. "Japan is becoming a China play," the report says, pointing out that Japanese investment and manufactured goods, once headed for the U.S. and Europe, are now going China's way. The report concludes, "Rather than try and play China directly, maybe we should start to focus on who in the West would benefit from less competition from Japan." While the boom lasts, it looks like all the world's a China play.

Assuming you mean India, there are two exchange traded funds (ETF's) which are baskets of stocks in India. They are; IIF and IFN and you should be able to get quotes and/or charts for them on any quote provider such as Yahoo. It is probably safer to trade the ETF's than individual issues, but if you are looking to trade individual stocks there are a number of companies in India that trade as US depository receipts on the New York Stock Exchange.

If you want to profit from the growth in the economic strength of India, you might want to look into investing in companies that are currently profiting from India.  Companies based in the US, Europe and Japan could be a better, and less risky bet for India.

It depends on how risky you want to be.  Do you feel confident about your ability to play the stock market?  If so you could take a chunk and invest it there.  If you are more conservative then I would suggest an ING account or a CD with the highest return of investment.  Usually a 12 month CD will carry a higher return but you cannot access this money easily without paying a penalty.  So if you want a good return with access to your money either a money market or an ING account would probably work best.  Happy investing!

Probably.  The Indian market isn't as regulated as US or European markets.  But it's easy to become overly paranoid when one's money is on the line.  My experience is that if you invest in a sound Indian company, like Wipro or Infosys or an ETF like the India Fund (IFN) for the long haul you're going to make money because, let's face it, nothing is going to stop India's growth.  But in the current market, with the number of hedge funds and margin buying involved in a relatively thinly traded market (the market capitalization of the Indian market is rather small compared to the U.S.) any freak out by the herd will result in dramatic crashes like we saw in May.  India is more democratic than most developing countries, they have more PhD's than the U.S., they've recently allowed foreign companies to open factories without having an "Indian partner", so the country is moving toward a freer market in order to attract foreign investment.  I wouldn't get too paranoid.
