You should go to a full service stock broker (not an on line discount broker) and discuss your goals. You will pay higher commissions but get the benefit of professional knowledge.

Answer by Rick B
Why are you trying to invest in stocks if you don’t know anything about them? You should never buy a financial product you don’t understand.

I would recommend that you invest in mutual funds, not individual stocks. A mutual fund is a professionally managed fund where the manager picks a bunch of stocks that meet the goal of the fund (growth, income, etc.).

Start researching. There are tons of websites and tons of books.

I would suggest to put your money into Oil! the prices are just going higher and higher these days! Also gold and other metals are at good prices. Property is probably a no-go at the moment unless you can find a bargain!
You could buy some Northern Rock Shares, they are sure to get better sooner or later, especially if there is a take-over soon.

Invest in a diversified stock like the S&P 500–it is made up of 500 large US companies. When some stocks go down, others go up and you wont lose all your money like you would if you put it all into 1 company, and it went broke. All stocks go up and down, but tend to go up in the long run. Only buy stocks with money you dont need and leave it in a long time. Never sell low and buy high. Try to buy it in a downturn, then when you cash it in someday in the future, sell it when its up.

Answer by BoscoB
If you don’t want to loose your money don’t start buying stocks or mutual funds now. The writing is on the wall. The current bull market is nearing its end. There is ample evidence that it may well be here now. People loose money in the stock market because they don’t know what they’re doing and you admit that you don’t. Would you rather have your money in cash for the next year or two earning money market rates or have the whole wad riding a bear market downtrend. In the stock market the only thing that is safe is cash. And by the way, bull markets always end violently.

It’s not the stock that makes you money, it’s what you do with it. You need a method. Consider the books listed on the front page:

if you are interested in trading small caps.

Answer by Bastian
Investing in stocks and expecting to make money out of them is not as simple as you think. There is a methodological process you have to follow. You might want to visit this site

It may be of use to you. As far as investing in stocks and not losing any money at all, I haven’t known people who are able to do that. There is no such thing as 100% win. If there is, all the people in the world would have put all their money in stocks.
