Congratulations on getting started. It’ll help you more than you know! \n\nYour first dollars should be spent on getting educated on investing. You don't have to train to trade them professionally, but we are talking about your future here. So the more you learn, the more it'll help you! So let's start there.\n\nYou ask a very broad question, so be prepared for a pretty long answer. Just take it in chunks!\n\n\nHow to invest depends on what you already know. We'll assume that you're beginning since you say you're new!\n\nA good primer is How to Make Money in Stocks by William O'Neil. You can get it cheap just about anywhere. It’s widely available new or used.\n\nAnother good one is one of Jim Cramer's books (he’s got a few). \n\nBut books will only get you so far. At some point, you'll also want to get at least a little training. There are some great education companies if you want to make the investment. Investools.com or optionetics.com are both very good companies as is tmitchell.com\n\nFor free, you can start by visiting thestreet.com and investopedia.com. That'll get you a pretty good primer so at least you'll understand what the markets are and what a stock is, etc. \n\nIf you get a chance, watch Mad Money on CNBC. Don't trade any of his picks until you track many of them over time. Just use the show to get you to understand some basics and get a feel for the market itself.\n\nNext, subscribe to something like Investorsbusiness daily or something like that that can help you identify good stocks.\n\nOnce you understand stocks, go to 888options.com. It's a website that'll help you understand options (what they do, how they work, etc). You don't need to trade them, but the more you know, the more you'll see how options can really be the safest way to invest (once you're educated).\n\nFor discipline (which is crucial to successful trading), probably Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas or Mastering the Trade by John Carter\n\nI know that’s a LOT to absorb. Just take it one step at a time for now. Start with a book or two to give you an idea of where to begin. Take your time, and let it seep in. \n\nAs you get up to speed, you should papertrade to practice (highly recommended). This should help reduce your losses in the beginning as you get used to buying/selling.\n\nYou can practice for free on almost any reputable broker site (optionsxpress, scottrade, thinkorswim, etc). And yes, you can definitely deal easily online.\n\nStart slow, then as you figure things out, you can buy more shares.\n\nCongrats again on getting started. If you have any questions, please let me know. \n\nHope this helps!\n\n\nAdditional edit: I tried to answer your question, but you haven't confirmed your email yet, so I can't reply.

It's just like how you learned to swim.... jump into water as soon as possible.\nThe younger you start, the better you will be. You will never start investing in stocks if you don't have confidence that you will earn profits from stocks investment. You don't need to start with BIG investments in order to learn about stocks investment. Basically, you need to be focused on one industry and get all the information about a company that you would like to have shares.\n\nGood luck..!!

Why in the world would you ask a bunch of idiots on Yahoo answers financial advice?  You need to research this yourself or talk to someone who has a license to advise you.\n\nBesides, what stock are you even referring to?

Its a market where people try to buy share - Share is nothing but a holding in a company. The value of a share is decided on the baaisi of various factors particularly current and past performance of the company.\n\nI guess you just have started looking at share market..So I would recommend you to read some share market related books before you start investing. Remember the market is very lucrative but at the same time is very dangereous.

Go to bookstore and get Mutual Funds for Dummies or Investing for Dummies.  They will have easy to understand concept and descriptions.  More information is better when it comes to investing.  Take your time.  Start saving money now and get into the habit.  Put it into a savings account now while you are learning about mutual funds.  When you feel ready, then you already have some money saved up.

Money is good for beginners.  But I would recommend to use the library so you can read on other investing magazines.  Yahoo Finance is a good on-line resource.

Investing in stocks usually is not mend to be short-term, unless you want to day trade, what I wouldn't advise if you do not have lots of expertise in the business and, if you have to ask the question you asked, you probably haven't.

The best way to learn about the stock market is to open up a 401(k) account at work and pick some mutual funds to invest in. At least then, you will lower your taxes and you can start to get the feel for your money fluctuating in value.\n\nYou should not invest one dime in the stock market outside of your 401(k) plan until after you establish an emergency fund. This fund should be in cash (CD'S, money market, savings account etc etc) where you can get to it. You should have at least 3 months worth of living expenses in it.\n\nAfter you do this, you can invest all you want in the stock market....but you have to remember...the stock market is like a casino........dont be greedy.......make some money and get out........financial experts lie to you......the longer you are in the market (casino) the greater your risk is. Your risk doesnt decrease by time horizon.......your risk actually increases the longer your money is in the casino....opps...i mean market.

Everyone is different and as a result, different people look at different things before they purchase a stock.\n\nI suggest you get a book or five on stock market investing and start learning as much as you can if you want to become good at it.\n\nAnd by the way, companies that cater to people who invest in the stock market by selling them up-to-date information and analysis charge hefty fees for their services, so I wouldn't plan on doing this without a nice, big nest egg to begin with and a good job to back yourself up when things go against you and you lose some money.

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!

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
