1. Hi Friend.. Stock market is the always safest mode of investment..Just take look at the link below to learn more about other investment.
2. Mutual funds. Individual stocks are for people that can buy a large amount of them at one time (to lower the transaction cost per share) and can hold several (or "many") different stocks at one time (to lower the risk through diversification.) Mutual funds do exactly that, allowing a small investor to have lower transaction costs and diversification.
3. Stocks sell in lots of 100..anything else is an odd lot. So if a stock is selling for say..$30.00 per share, your cost would be $3.000 plus brokerage charges. An odd lot would have higher charges. So unless you have lots of cash, individual stocks are not for you. because your diversification would be lousy. Try an index mutual fund....would be better for a small investor
4. Look at mutual funds offered by TR Price, Vanguard or American Century and check out the Morningstar rating (5 stars is highest) for the fund(s) you think you are interested in. They offer a wide selection of funds (you may want to look at something like a total market fund - example for Europe would be Vanguard Total Intl Stock Index (VGTSX) to limit your exposure to one particular market sector) and their fees are very low compared to competitors. Good luck... BTW the market is extremely volatile at this time so if you can't take stomach churn you are better off holding out for a more stable market.
5. It depends on what your situation is. Age? Marital Status? Financial Goals? How much money? Standard recommendation for someone who is new to investing and the stock market is or at least used to be a balanced mutual fund because that will give you diversification and asset allocation that is evenly spread, risk is low but return is better than a money market account.
6. Mutual funds are a good place to start. There are several reputable large companies who have many funds with varying objectives.
7. i would read the following books first. 1) the intelligent investor 2) security analysis then i would open up a scottrade account. scottrade.com
8. don't rush as yet. start small and grow slowly. stock market is a complicated world, but has so much to offer. Step-by-Step Stock Investing for Beginner http://www.stock-investment-made-easy.com/
9. You didnt say how much money you had to work with it so I dont see how anyone could answer the question as it is presented.Can you be more specific and are you prepared to lose this money,that is always a possibilty
10. Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism. Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the public with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds). Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for. Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies. Anti-democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents and false government.
