I came across a perosnal website by R. Kannan on the subject of investmnet. The site is http://www.geocities.com/kstability/student/kgl/invest1.html\n\nWhile investment basics are the same everywhere, there are intricacies related to market regulations in different countries. If your goal is investment, then a logical place to start after reading investment basics article ( link above) would be to subscribe to a financial publication ( Financial Times etc ) and stay abreast of market developments. Market knowledge is something you acquire over time and if you devote a little time every day, you may notice the difference in your understanding of the market in as little as 1 month. But that would be just a start. Stay informed and the best way of doing that is keeping pace with the market

There are several ways to make money by buying shares. Any shares bought are obviously owned by you. You can keep the shares if they are good and profitable company, and wait for dividents usually paid quarterly, haLf yearly or sometimes annually, meaning once a year. But usually, if you want to make better money, buy the shares at a lower price, during a poor market, wait for the price of that share to go up. Draw a margin how much you want to make and sell at that price when it reaches that amount of your choice. Sometimes, your broker may advise you to hold on because he may know the price is going up further and you may be able to make more.When market is good, it is more advisable to sell on profit rather than wait for the dividends which are usually very much lower than the market gains. Having advised all that, please do not be too greddy or obssessed by the share market, otherwise you may burn your fingers and lose all that you have earned or more.

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as cheapest way to invest in stocks.\n\nYou need to have plenty of fluff and lot  of knowledge to really make it in the stock market

First you should know what your options for investing are. \n\nIf you don't have a good deal of money (in the thousands), you shouldn't invest in stocks because you won't be able to diversify your holdings enough - you need a well balanced portfolio that fits your goals and spreads out risk.\n\nUsually mutual funds are the most convenient and practical way for most people to invest in the stock market, with fund minimums starting around $1000 for funds like Vanguard STAR (VGSTX, a fund for beginning investors), and most of them being around $3,000 (and certainly going past that).\n\nAnother option is exchange-traded funds. They are baskets of stocks that are traded like stocks, and have lower expense ratios (the percentage that the fund company takes from your total return every year, usually under 1%) than mutual funds. ETFs don't have minimums.\n\nHere's the "Learn" section of a very reputable securities analysis company called Morningstar - they make lots of books about investing which you might want to check out as well.\n\nhttp://www.morningstar.com/Cover/Workshop.html?pgid=hetablearn\n\nIf you take a lot of tests there (and do well on them), you can actually send for a free book. Of course, you'll be on their mailing list after that.\n\nhttp://www.investopedia.com is also another great website for reading about all the different options available to you.\n\nAs for the brokers that you will have to buy your investments through (unless you buy it straight from a fund company like Vanguard, T. Rowe Price, or Fidelity), you have quite a few choices. The more affordable, while still easy-to-use brokers are Scottrade and TradeKing, while E-Trade and TDAmeritrade are very well-established and user-friendly but more costly brokers.\n\nHope I helped.

Frankly, I was very interested in giving you my honest technical view of GOOG until I took a second look at your first question... "What is the current position of Google's Stocks"? If you do not even know how much or where Google's stock is now, then you really have no rights to ask anybody where it will go.\n\nIt is like asking if the light bulb is bright enough when you are blind to begin with.\n\nYour question reveals the fact that you are a complete newbie with very weak basic, fundamental knowledge in the stock markets and is about to do something you might regret for a very long time.\n\nListening to free, off the street advice is an expressway to disaster. Read more good books and articles on investments to expand your vision and horizon before you decide to go deeper into the subject. For some of the best investment books that I have ever read, please visit http://www.bestoptiontradingbooks.com\n\nInvesting or trading the stock markets never start from asking how to buy a certain stock ... it starts from adequate investment and trading knowledge. There are quite a number of things you need to learn before you can even start thinking of the stock markets ...\n\n1. You need to understand how the stock market works and what it is exactly about.\n\n2. You need to know what are the different styles of trading in stocks and shares. \n\n3. You need to read about why so many people lose their shirts in the stock markets so that you can avoid their mistakes and also decide if this is a risk you want to take.\n\nFor all these issues and more, you can read about them from some of the articles that I wrote at http://www.mastersoequity.com/articles.htm\n\nAfter you are adequately armed with the basic concepts and ideas, you need to know how to find profitable stocks to trade or invest in. You can do that the easy way by subscribing to stock pick services (example http://www.stockpickmaster.com ) or you can learn to use charting tools and softwares to find stocks with parameters that you can pre-define. (example http://www.worden.com ) \n\nAll in all, investment and trading is a lifelong education and non stop learning. No one is ever done learning and catching up with changes in the markets. \n\nIf you care to read about how I went from completely broke to retired millionaire trading stocks and options by 28 years old, you can go to http://www.mastersoequity.com/\n\nRemember, the slogan "Just Do It", Just won't do for the stock markets. If profiting in the stock markets is as simple as buying a single stock , then why are so many people still poor?\n\nAfter you have all the above mentioned knowledge, you need to ask the following golden questions before you can decide whether a stock is worth buying or not :\n\n1. Why are you of the opinion that this stock will rise?\n\n2. Is your opinion valid in the first place?\n\n3. When are you expecting it to rise? Can you hold on for that period of time or longer?\n\n4. What is your expected entry price? After what price would your expected profit margin be too thin to enter upon?\n\n5. Where is your expected stop loss point? What is your stop loss point based on? Where will you tell yourself that it is time to take a loss and get out?\n\n6. Where is your expected profit taking point? What is your profit taking point based on? \n\n7. Does the way you are buying the stock allow you to hold on until your expected profit taking point?\n\n8. How much of your money should you dedicate to this one trade?\n\n9. What is the level of primary, secondary and idiosyncratic risk you are undertaking when deciding how much of your fund to use?\n\n10. What is your cashflow need? Does your cashflow needs allow you to hold the full lifetime of the stock?\n\nAfter you are able to answer all these questions confidently, THEN you are ready to... PAPER TRADE your stock strategy. Yes, even at this point, you are NOT READY to trade for real. You should trade on PAPER for at least 6

Investors buy shares of stock in a company and are therefore owners of the company.  Many companies are private where perhaps a dozen people own all the shares but a large number of companies are publically traded.  Although direct trades of stock are legal, most investors place their trades (buy or sell) through a stock broker who charges a commission for each transaction.  You can trade on line through electronic discount brokers for as little as $7 per trade (buy or sell).  See Scottrade for example.  You can make money if you buy the stock cheap and sell it after the price appreciates.  If you choose the wrong stock and the price goes down you can lose money and if the company goes broke you can lose all your money.\n\nMany investors prefer to buy shares in a Mutual Fund that invests in perhaps 50 or more different companies.  Many (but not all) Mutual Funds are operated by experts who know how to invest wisely in stocks.  Also, if one of their companies performs poorly or goes broke the remaining good stocks can make up for the loss.  It is possible to invest in "no-load" Mutual Funds by contacting them directly or through a stock broker who will charge commissions for your transactions.  As an example T. Rowe Price has no-load\nfunds specializing in many different types of companies and risk categories.\n\nYou can invest IRA funds in a Mutual Fund and have the earnings compound tax free.  If you invest say $4000, multiply that by 1.1 as many times as there are years before you retire and you can see how it will grow and grow at a 10% annual rate (not guaranteed).  And that is only one deposit.\n\nI'd recommend investopedia.com, especially their dictionary, to better understand any investing terms you encounter.  Good luck.

You don't say how old you are, what kind of resourses you have or your knowledge of finance in general, I.E. do you know how the market works, listed vs over the counter, options, etc.?  Before you invest a dime remember the cardinal rule of investing: the public finds out after the money's been made.  In other words, if a stock is at a high it's not the time to get in.  Also, the corolary: if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true.  Finaly, don't invest money that you can't afford to lose, especially if you're speculating (which it sounds like you are).  Go to Morningstar.com and sign up.  It will be the best money you spend for ideas, research and analysis.  Read the Wall Street Journal and look for companies with a future.  You might want to put money in an index such as the S&P 500 especially if you think the market will keep going up (and it won't - it will correct).  Bottom line is that there is no easy answer to your question.  \n\nAvoid the following:\n\nemails with stock tips\nfax messages with stock tips\nany stock selling for under $5.00 a share (unless you're willing to lose all you invest in it\npenny stock\noptions\ncommodities\nfriends who say they "know a guy who knows a guy who said..."\n\nDo the following:\n\nUse a reputable broker either bricks and mortar (Merrill Lynch, Lehman Bros, etc, or a reputable on line broker like E*Trade, Scwabb, etc.\nPut half your money in a good mutual funds of either high or mid-cap companies - you'll have gains while you experiment\nPick a point at which you want to get out on the up side (on Wall Street the pigs get slaughtered) and stick to it\nIf a stock is falling, pick a point at which you want to cut your loss.  If it;s a good company you can always buy in at what you think the low is.\n\nGood luck.  If you find the secret let me know.  I stick to known companies with solid balance sheets and a track record.  Even so I've lost (Worldcom, GM and a few others).

If you have to ask this question, I would recommend that you not even pursue this course until you have studied the existing options for investing.  If you are referring to buying stock commonly traded on an exchange, you have several options, none of which is advisable for a beginner, nor for someone who does not have already, considerable savings on hand, especially if you are a student.\n\nIf you are referring to buying equity shares in a private company, then that is a different matter altogether.  Unfortunately, as terminology can vary from country to country, and as you haven't provided many details, it is impossible to reliably advise you.\n\nI will assume you are talking about buying "stocks" on an exchange.  If you are in the United States, one normally opens an account with a broker.  There are online brokers you can use like Scottrade, Ameritrade, etc.  Normally one fills out some paperwork and sends it in with a check/draft/wire deposit.  You can then buy and sell stocks through this broker.  You place an order on a stock, like GE for example, which the broker fills.  \n\nI would experiment with this on quote.yahoo.com before doing it for real.  There are also lots of places you can turn to for investment advice.\n\nA safer thing to do with your money if you are a student (at university if you are out of the house) is to put the money in savings, certificate of deposit, money market fund, or other low risk option.   An option many investors use to buy stock at slightly lower risk is called a mutual fund.  Research these options thoroughly.\n\nGood luck.

Depending on which country you're from you have many alternatives on how you can trade shares.\n\nYou can use plain shares, warrants, options, futures and CFDs.\n\nEach financial instrument has its own advantages and disadvantages.\n\nTo use plain shares you need heaps of capital.\n\nThe others are derivatives - or products that derive their value off the shares. These don't normally require as much money to gain a profit. But on the other hand potential losses are greater.\n\nYou should start by reading - reading a lot.\n\nThen by paper trading.

Share is you buy a share in a company (by buying 10 shares you own that part of the company). If the company makes profit, you gain ..if it loses you lose money.you can lose your entire money if the company goes bankrupt.\n\nBonds: you lend money to the company by buying bonds. the returns are fixed, your investment is guaranteed based on the Securities exchange comission rules. \n\nBonds reduce the chance of making good money when the stock price shoots up.

If you want to invest in the stock market I would suggest first seeing what the best traders are buying and selling.  Check out 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.\n\nHere are this month's best traders:\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/Top10Standings.aspx \n\nMy stock recommendation would be PWI, a stock I own personally.  This is a Canadian Royalty Trust that pays a great dividend.  The stock has sold off recently, so I think the price is good.\n\nGood luck!

If you wish to invest in stocks, study FA (Fundamental Analysis) to determine the financial qualities of a company and TA (Technical Analysis) to determine investor sentiment about the company.  Investopedia.com has a wealth of information including a dictonary for terms and acronyms and tutorials to get started.  Do your own Due Diligence and invest only in companies you thoroughly understand.  Invest only money you can afford to lose, not rent and food money.  Never stop learning about the stock market and you may gain 10-20% monthly; or lose even more.  Good luck.  Bye the way, you can set up your stock portfolio and follow it under Yahoo Finance and even create a dummy portfolio to "paper trade" stocks without using real money until you learn the ropes.  But the best lessons will come from using real money.  Always analyze good and bad trades to learn even more.  Best of luck.

Instead of trying to get something for nothing, which will only get you opinions and not facts or knowledge, start looking at "how" to invest, rather than "what" to invest in. \n\nInstead of looking at assest classes and divestiture and mutual funds vs Google, find out first the condition of the market, its position, and its trend. All boats rise and fall on the tide, unless you're clairvoyand and can pick the one or two that doesn't. No future in swimming against the tide.\n\nYou have to consider that the Dow is again approaching that all-time historical high set in Jan 2000 at 11,721. Looks like a Double Top to me, but some people say we could double that again. Logically, this is one of the scariest markets I've ever seen in two decades of watching it; just try to find something that is stable, anything. Doesn't exist, does it. Anything could send this market over the edge to the great void. But hey, it might double too, who knows.\n\nThis is simply not a good entry point for investors. Be patient, wait a few months, and you'll be able to buy much more stock a lot cheaper, the risks will be lower (even though they will seem higher), and your chance of success greater.\n\nFor most people, the name of the game is capital preservation. You don't invest when the market gets too risky or too frothy or is nearing a market top or an old market top, or when the market is overpriced, or unstable, and all of these things are true today. There really is a time when cash is King. That 1.5% CD is going to look pretty good when everyone else is cryin' in their beer about losses. Or the market could just go sideways to work off the excesses, but either way, you're safe if you're out. Wanna throw the dice, go to Vegas.\n\nIf you wish to research the “Buy and Hold Strategy” further, or perhaps trade yourself, I recommend two book titles. One is called "Which Is Better, Buy-and-Hold or Market Timing?" The other is "Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Market Timer?" They will give you plenty to think about.
