If you are young, you can withstand corrections and drops. If you are close to retirement, try bonds and CDs. Depends on if time is on your side.

Do your re-search and start small. Just invest what you can afford to lose and if you re-search your stocks, you should come ahead! You are always taking a risk in the stock market.

Also, you have to have a substantial amount of money to invest to see any kind of large returns, so it's better to wait until you've got a good job and can afford to LOSE everything you're investing. It sounds like you've got a ways to go yet, it might be better for you to just put your money into a money market fund with a 5% return. It's safe, FDIC insured, and it beats inflation by 3%.

Rising interest rates, higher oil and gasoline prices are yet to come! With terrorists threatening another large attack in the U.S.A. stocks would drop 30% to 50%- that's billions of dollars! Use money market funds or certificates of deposit at this moment for safety. the rule is that "if you worry about losing lots of money before you go to sleep" you need to change your investment strategy!

People lose money, because they buy high and sell low. It makes no sense to me. You wouldn’t be asking this question if your grandparents would’ve invested $1000 dollars back in the 30’s because you’d be busy hammering some fine piece of strange on a yacht somewhere out in the pacific… going through crystal like it was bottled water… all while trying to pick out a color for the maserati your about to buy.
