Are there any experienced stock traders that can provide some advice on how to best invest in the ? What specifics are best? I want to know what are good companies to invest in, for example if the company pays a dividend is that good? Stuff like that. Also, what does Greek mean and other Stock jargon. Good answer will get 5 stars.

    I have been trading stocks and bonds for many years, and the best ever investment was GLD stock or pure gold. Learn about (Fiat Money). Gold is high but most paper money in the world is going down in value. However gold is going up in value. The decision is yours.
    What Does Fiat Money Mean?

    Currency that a government has declared to be legal tender, despite the fact that it has no intrinsic value and is not backed by reserves. Historically, most currencies were based on physical commodities such as gold or silver, but fiat money is based solely on faith.

    Based on your question, you have lots to learn. While there’s nothing wrong with that, it does mean you are vulnerable to lot of bad advice.

    If I were you, I think I would read a few first before you I made the investment. Investing is about risk taking. But if you don’t know about risk management… and you don’t… then odds are not in your favor. The amount of hype and mis-information out there is enormous.

    No-one can give you the best answer (It’s 10 points, anyway).

    You "invest" for the long term. Anything else is just gambling. Yes, dividend paying stocks are good, if you want income. (There are tax consequences). Investing is important for the rest of your life, and will take your whole life to learn. Good companies are companies that exhibit growth, year after year. They sell products or manufacture something everybody needs. Sometimes, they’re companies that are researching a cure, or have a new gadget. You and I missed out on Microsoft in the beginning. And no-one thought everyone would have a PC in their home. What’s the next big thing?
    Start reading everything you can get your hands on, research companies online (Motley Fool and yahoo finance). You don’t need jargon. You need good, substantial information. Peter Lynch and Suze Orman books, to start. Value Line. Morningstar. How the stock market Works. Barrons puts out a good book. Don’t ever take tips, here or from friends (unless they work for the company, but then it might be called insider trading and you’d get busted)

    Get a good book like "Stock Investing For Dummies." You’re not going to get educated on this forum.
