I am a college student.can i invest in share market r mutual fund at less risk.?

If you're concerned about losing money I wouldn't trade in the stock market right now until the economy improves. Almost everything is going down right now.

it would be at the same risk as everyone else's risk. If you want to have a less risk IRA or college tuition fund, you would want to use a money market, or something low risk, like maybe government bonds...

Yes, it's very easy. Go to www.fidelity.com and you'll find many many mutual funds. Have fun and get rich. Diversify as they say. Invest in many different funds. Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket.

you can invest in share market very low risk in indian share market so pl start ur investment

Yes.
Obtain PAN, Open De-mat a/c for shares.

YOU CAN INVEST ON YOUR OWN RISK BUT NOT

DEPEND ON YOUR PARENTS OR FRIENDS.

OK DEAR.

Try etrade.com and just open an account. you don't get anything for less risk, but have you ever thought about doing something better with your money? Even for a couple thousand bucks you can buy about an acre's worth of land in nearby communities. In mutual funds you have to wait about 15-20 years for your money to double. The stock market is a joke, there are so many middle men, and you are always the last to know what happens.

It doesn't matter whether you are a student or professional, the MAIN FACTOR is to UNDERSTAND what shares mean. Another factor is to get knowledge of a particular company's position in the 'bazaar' of stock, which you want to invest on. A SIMPLE trick is: observe few weeks the share market & watch TV or any concerned media to get the idea as well as the rise & fall of share-prices of several companies. I don't know or I've no idea from which country you're asking. Someone replied to invest in India, that's true; same way, I would invite you to invest here in Bangladesh. I would give you GUARANTEE if you invest on ANY---truly speaking, on any banks, leasing companies or financial institutions, you'll be surprised to see the instant profit!
Finally, I've to tell you one IMPORTANT thing: being a student, your major times go with studying, right? How would you keep eyes & brain everyday on the "RISE & FALL" of the share market? It's the trick there when you buy a share certificate at $100, & watch it goes #110, it's time to SELL immediately! Sameway, when you buy at $100 & that goes down at $90, then your part is just wait for the better time(increase of the price). It's GAME to the professional not to a student. Better invest your money as Fixed Diposite to any reliable company from where you would get SURE profit, no loss of your principle amount.

i am also a college student. you can inverse in share through mutual funds but it is less risk and also less profitable. since you are not a professionalised you can do it through mutual funds because it is less risky... you can select leading companies like reliance and franklin tempton and so on... you better do for close ended because that is more profitable than open ended... good day buddy... if you would like to shoot more questions then contact me at krithiksathya@hotmail.com

Yes , you can. Investment is always good.

Get in at L&T, JP Associates,
MF - Kotak Indo World Infrastructure Fund

anybody , who fulufills certain criteria for opening a demat a/c and has a pan card , can invest in share market. but u will have to be very careful in selecting the right shares. investment in mutual funds is less risky.

i suggest you put your money in diversify mutual fund secheme of atleast in three to four good firm, and get reguar yearly income, moreover risk are very minimul,if some time see market is going down dont be panic,only use draw minimual fund to fullfill your day to day affairs,just in one to two years you will have sufficent surpluse income to cope with market fall if arise at any time.

buy gold coins they cost like $200 maybe but the amount of money always increase very fast and it never decreases so u will always have profit :D

ya, you need to have a PAN card, demat a/c and trading a/c.

The only requirement is demat a/c and PAN card.
As for risk factor:
Equity MFs are market related and therefore the risk involved is the same. As a general rule higher the risk higher the returns or a crash.
For low risk you can invest in Debt MFs.
For medium risk you can invest in Balanced MFs.

Investing in mutual fund is safer way but the returns are also less. If you keep track of the market regularly and invest in large reputed companies then you will earn more. Please note if the market goes down then, not only the share prices even the mutual fund value (NAV) will go down. So the risk is there on both ways. Simply we need to keep track of the market.

Meanwhile, I have recently taken franchise from a Share Brokerage company. If you are interested please let me know. By the way I would like to know from which place you are?

Thanks.
