I am new to this stocks and investments so can u please tell me how to find out which are risky investments.?

I heard investing in risky i.e., big companies(Large Caps) are better in terms of returns,so i want to know how to find it out.since i am new to this, please help me to know more about this stocks and investments.

When i strated investing (12 years ago) I became a member of www.fool.com. They have lots of information for a beginner. They also have a paid service which I personally enjoy a lot. There are many other internetsites with serious information for a beginner. www.moneyweek.com www.msn.com etc.

Alway realise that you are always on your own when investing. You picks your choice and you pays your money.

I now live from my investments, but i spend 3 hours a day reading on companies and the economy.

Big companies are better in term of risk.They usually have lower risk and lower return. Remember high return means high risk. For more information about stock, visit http://www.stockpickguide.com

INVESTING IS A MULTI-PRONG APPROACH, IN OTHER WORDS YOU EVENTUALLY SHOULD DIVERSIFY SO THAT DIFFERENT INVESTMENTS ARE DOING DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT MARKETS. FOR ONE THING DONT GET FISHED IN BY ANY ONE BROKER OR INVESTMENT HOUSE RIGHT NOW. I WOULD SIMPLY GET A SMALL BOOK ON THE VARIOUS INVESTMENT POSSIBILITIES ETC AND READ FOR YOURSELF AND GET SOME SAVVY THEN WHEN YOU TALK WITH A RELIABLE BROKER YOULL KNOW WHATS GOING ON. ALSO IF YOUR COMPANY HAS A MATCHING FUNDS INVESTMENT TAKE OUT THE MAXIMUM MAYBE FIVE PERCENT OR WHATEVER THEN AS THE MONEY BUILDS TAKE SOME OF IT AND KNOWLEDGEABLY INVEST MAYBE WITH A REPUTABLE BROKER. ALWAYS MAKE A BROKER THINK THATS ALL THE MONEY YOU HAVE OTHER WISE THEY WILL HOUND YOU TO PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET WITH THEM. GO IN A REPUTABLE BOOKSTORE OR LIBRARY AND GET ADVICE ON A GOOD LATE EDITION ON INVESTING AND THE DIFFERENT TYPES. READ UP AND ENJOY. REMEMBER DIVERSIFY AND STAY CLOSE TO THE TRUNK OF THE INVESTMENT TREE TO START WITHOUT GOING OUT ON THE TIPS OF THE BRANCES IN THE BREEZE. GET A GOOD FEEL FOR IT AND BE KNOWLDGEABLE. EASE INTO IT, HAVE FUN

All investment is risky when you do not know what you are doing. Do some read up in your local library.

When starting just do paper trade, which means there are no real money involve.

Learn it well and even the smaller company stock will not be risky to you if you know how to analyse the company well.

Big companies does not mean lower risk, look at enron, worldcom, and dozens more.

Invest in companies that have just begin to announce shares.ie small companies like biotechnology firms.Try to avoid trading and concentrate more on investments.To know more please join the group in yahoo "richestyoungsouls".Meet you there good bye.
