I need to make investment in stock market but I don't have any experience and don't know how to start? |
I need to make investment in stock market but I don't have any experience and don't know how to start? what do you mean by you "need to make investment in stock market"? Why do you "need" to do this? How much are you talking about? what is it for? A bit more info would be prudent before advice should be given. Speak with an advisor who can help. You may find that you "need" to do something else The important part about stock is not choosing the big names, but diversifying--not putting all your eggs in one basket. You can have a couple shares of a tech stock, some in gold, some in an oil company, some in a large name, a couple ETFs (exchange traded funds; mutual funds that have a lot of stocks in them, don't change much in value [usually going up], and trade like stocks), and perhaps a couple other stocks that you think are good buys and have a chance to go up. Don't discount those brands, however, as they may be good choices for the future. The best thing to do is to give me all of your money. I will invest it for you and then call you in 5 or 10 years to tell you how you're doing. Okay? You may want to spend some time reading about investing. The best place to start is your public library. Go to the investing section and grab few books on the subject. Read randomly, searching for nothing in particular. Eventually you will know which book suits your personality and current level of expertise. Take it home and read it through before delving into the sea of stock-market investing. If after reading the book you still think this type of adventure is for you, go ahead and open an investing account through your bank or with an independent financial institution. Start small, applying the principles you've learned. As you gain confidence, you may go deeper and become more aggressive. Go to www.sharebuilder.com The simplest method is also the best method in the long run. Buy a total stock market index stock. That way you'll be exposed to large cap, mid cap, small cap, tech, value, growth, gold, fx and everything else in the whole financial universe. If over 20 years you're able to beat this return, then consider yourself very skilled (though I would say lucky) as you are part of the .001% that beats the market (or something like that). Why do you "need" to make a stock investment? As a new investor, you should avoid individual stocks and put your money into index mutual funds. If you put half of it into a total stock market index, or an S&P index, and the other half into a total bond index, you'll receive amazing results over the long term, while dodging the worst of the market's ups and downs. Don't put your money into index funds. That's for lazy jokers. Get a well balanced portfolio of mutual funds. They DO beat the market return when held for the long run. I think the best site for learning about trading and investing in the stock market is http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is also a charting feature , so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. |
