Here is what I suggest. Go to Yahoo mutual fund screen. And imput the parameters of the type of fund you wish to consider and see what pops up. \n\nHere is the link.\n\nThe second link is one of the screens I ran. It shows funds that are no load, with low initial investment that are ranked at least 4 star by Morningstar and are in the top 30% for one year performance.

Do you really want to buy shares of a stock, or do you want to invest in the stock market?\n\nDo you want to spend your time researching fundamentals of a company: earnings, balance sheets, products, competition, cash flows, etc., when this really doesn't tell you a lot about the direction of the stock price? \n\nDo you really want to take the advice of a broker, who is probably terribly biased, doesn't know any more than you do about the company, and doesn't have a clue where the stock price is going, but really just wants to earn a commission by making a sale, and whom is just a good salesman?\n\nOr maybe you want to investigate Technical Analysis to determine key turning points in stocks or the market. Get ready for a long learning curve. \n\nOr, you could try stock options, like me, and lose your whole IRA. And then come back and try Day Trading, and lose it all again. Then try Index Futures, and leverage it all away again. I finally got it right, but it took about eight years.\n\nMost people spend more time deciding the color of their new car than they do on deciding on a stock, a broker, a mutual fund, or other investment. If you don't put quite a bit of time into it, don't expect to make a decent return on your "investment."\n\nCheck out someone who rates mutual funds. There are a few good ones out there, and it's their job to know what's going on, what's moving and what isn't, and a whole team of people will be watching over your investment every day.\n\nCheck out Morningstar.com

The simplest way to do it is to go to finance.yahoo.com, enter the ticker for the stock you want, click key statistics, and it will be listed on the right hand side, directly under the advertisement (first item listed under stock price history).\n\nThe more complicated way is to list the average monthly price for the stock with the most recent month on top in an excel spread sheet. List the average monthly price for the SP 500 in the same fashion. Calculate the average return for the previous month for both the stock and the SP 500 by dividing one month by the previous and subtracting one from the result and expressing the answer in percentage form. After you have done that for both the stock you are interested in and the market, tell excel to calculate the covariance between the two sets of data (=cov(individual stock dataset, SP 500 dataset). Then calculate the variance for just the SP 500, (=var(sp 500 dataset). Then divide the covariance by the variance.\n\nBeta tells you how much an individual stocks price (i.e. its return) fluctuates in comparison to a market index, such as the SP 500. A beta higher than "1" and the stock is more risky than the market (i.e. it is more likely to fluctuate out of tandem with the market). Hope this helps

the company would make an application to NASDAQ, AMEX or NYSE/ARCA. if they meet the minimum listing requirements then they will apply if they so choose. see the websites of the various exchanges for the requirements.\n\nmany pinksheet or bulletin board companies say they are going to get listed but never do. they just use that to pump up the price of the stock, be wary of such claims if they can't meet the minimums.

You can trade kaushik. \n\nThe present limit is up to $ 25000 according to RBI. So you can have a portfolio of US stocks up to that amount.\n\nOf course you have to register yourself with a broker in US to trade on NASDAQ/NYSE

Go to morningstar and look up the weighted average PE ratios of the funds for stock funds and duration for the bond funds.  As most funds underperform the indices over time, treat them as index funds.\n\nFor stocks, never hold a fund with a PE over 15.  It works out that unless your expected return is very low, fifteen is a good rule of thumb for discounted cash flows to time 0, as an upper bound for price.  You can take the PE, find the estimated growth of the indices and go to moneychimp.com and estimate return.  Keep tinkering with the growth rate until 1.00 in earnings yields a PE of the same value.\n\nFor bond funds, look up the duration and credit quality.  Junk bonds can lose extraordinary amounts in stressful times.  I remember a time in the '90's where one third of junk simply was written off the balance sheets of funds.  In any case, look up the duration.  Figure out the weighting between classes (morningstar should tell you) and go the the Financial Times of London or Barrons or the Wall Street Journal and look up the yield for that approximate duration or average maturity.  That minus the fees will be your yield.\n\nCompare this to your goals.\n\nMy guess is that if you do this, you will be in for a shock and be very upset and disappointed.  You might then look at bankrate.com and buy a moneymarket or CD from GMAC Bank or the State Bank of India (member FDIC).  You will likely do better than in the markets.  Prices are high in most funds relative to what they provide.\n\nMy checking account at GMAC Bank pays me 4.65% and I am globally among the best investors in the world, from a purely statistical perspective.  Most general public investors are in over their heads but they don't know it.  The professionals don't want to tell people because if you withdrawal your money they get lower fees.\n\nThere are not a lot of funds that are reasonably priced compared to their underlying assets, and have a good management history.  I know, I have looked and I am trained to evaluate portfolios.

Morningstar is famous for its mutual fund coverage. But in the research department, they are known for their sector diversification and allocation tools.\n\nFrom personal experience, the morningstar review is their "9-Box allocation" tool where you can see how your portfolio is allocated based on value, blend, and growth categories crossed by large cap, mid-cap, and small-cap market capitalizations.\n\nMorningstar is always a great help to see how my portfolio is allocated based on sector and industry allocations versus major indices such as the S&P 500.

Well, they aren't out there.  No one has done a comparative, to be published on the web.  But here's what you need to do:\n\n\n You can select 20 publicly traded companies out of the air, here in the US.  Then for each one, \n\nGo to www.sec.gov  click on EDGAR on left\nGo to company filings\nClick on form search - Get the 10-k Audited financials\n\nAll that information will be there.  And it's free.  Print it out, then you can get your own industry average.  \n\nKeep in mind, there are "good" companies and "bad" companies.  Countrywide is rated C, with downward prospects, by AM Best.  They're a financially challenged company, and will be much less profitable than a State Farm or Allstate, for example, both of whom are rated A.

Well first you need to find a broker. Like ameritrade, scottrade, e-trade, td waterhouse, shwab, ect. \n\nPersonally I use scottrade. only $7 to make a trade unlimited shares, market and limit, no maintenance fees, no inactivity fees or any fees unless you specifically use a service that has a fee, but you will know before you are charged.  \n\nThen once you have contacted a broker and opened an account you can start making trades. The key to success is to make an inversting strategy and follow it. A strategy can be anything, like you might buy stocks between 5-10 dollars, volumes greator than 1 million on a 3 month avg, that have recently had management changes. You then take that list of companies and choose the best one/s. You may also want to diversify by buying companies with negative correlations to decrease risk. But you can do what ever you want.\n\nFor more information call scottrade they have people sitting around that can answer any question you have about investing, even if you don't have an account.

You can, but probably don't know how.  Go to Yahoo.finance and look (on the side-bar) for instructions.
