Hi i want start investing,can u give the names of websites for investing for bigginers with all definations?


hi i want to invest my earnings.........iam a biggener so want to know all the possible information regarding various investment options along with definations of words like equity, bonds, mutual funds etc. so could you please let me know some useful websites where i can find all this information.........

First of all open a Demat account either with a Bank or a Broker (eg ICICI Bank ; http://www.icicidirect.com , Sharekhan; http://www.sharekhan.com , India bulls etc).

Then slowly start investing in IPOs which are relatively safe and give good return on listing. As you go on you will get a feel of market and then you can start investing in secondary market.

Regarding tips, so start watching CNBC TV18, NDTV Profit, CNBC Awaaz and Zee Business. They have very good coverage of stock market, and some of the program discuss stocks in detail where you can even ask questions related to stocks. It helps a lot in deciding where to invest.

Furthermore you can also invest in mutual funds, which donot give as good returns as the market, but the risk component is very less and the returns are quite decent.

You can also go through the following websites to get more info on share market

Royal Bank
TD Bank
Scotia Bank
CIBC
Bank of Montreal etc.

One of the sponsor/partners of answers.yahoo has good definitions and seems "impartial" (not pushing a product) is http://www.investopedia.com/

I recommend reading books by Peter Lynch for starters. The books are humerous and fun (which is unusual). Andrew Tobias has a lot of fun columns I enjoy (and I'm not a beginner) http://www.andrewtobias.com/

Oh, the only Annual Report get that is fun and educational to read and you can get free online is at http://www.berkshirehathaway.com the one for this year has a lot of funnies ... like ... the only way to find out who is swimming naked is when the tide goes out ... well, the tide went out on Bear Stearns.

http://cnbc.com has videos and often pauses to explain things for beginners.

You can get terms and info on investing at http://www.wikipedia.org/

Both Google an Yahoo have excellent stuff for beginners and advanced people. I track portfolios on both Web services and find them excellent. I enjoy the messages on both, but Yahoo has been around the longest and I find they have the MOST (not necessarily the best) messages. Oh, don't buy a stock without reading the messages ... there is a lot of DRECK and BAD LANGUAGE but sometimes you will find TRUTH (Be cautious). Here's a begginner thing I found on Yahoo's Web site http://finance.yahoo.com/education/begin...

i think you are a govt servant.
it is not a right time to invest in share market
so you can deposit your money in banks like r d.
it is my opinion.

Researchs have shown that systematic investments in the Stock Market can earn you highest returns over a long term when compared to any other kind of investment instruments.

For knowing the basics of the stock market investing, look at this good tutorial :

You should also know about yourself, i.e. what kind of an investor you are. Some people study the market more subtly whereas some others merely take an overall knowledge of the various aspects. Also see how much money you have to trade with and what is your source that gives you money for investing. If you are taking the stock trade as a full-time income and it is your only source of income, you will have to modulate your investment and trading strategy, so you can support yourself. If the stock trade is your part-time income, you must know exactly how much your source of income allows you to invest. It is often better to invest amounts you can manage to lose, comfortably, so that you do not come under pressure. For, the higher pressure you are under, the greater is your chance to lose.

The below links can be of much help to you.
