    Before you invest in any security, the first investment you should make is in yourself, and the best investment you can make is by educating yourself.

    Start your education by learning why you should invest and the importance of being able to make your own decisions or what the pro’s make theirs. Start by reading,
    What Works on Wall Street by James O’Shaunessey
    Beating the Street by Peter Lynch
    One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch
    The Warren Buffett Way by Robert Hagstrom
    How to Make Money in Stocks” by William O’Neil

    Get into the habit of making daily visits to some websites like MSN Money and Yahoo Finance. (http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp http://finance.yahoo.com/ )

    While at MSN following the strategy lab analysts to get a feel for what the pros are doing and why. This site has some basic information for beginners. If any site offers free information, take it.

    Other website that can provide instructions and help with procedures and terminology are
    Investopedia – http://www.investopedia.com/ Stock Charts – http://stockcharts.com/
    http://www.investorshub.com/ http://www.1source4stocks.com/

    Visit some of the more professional websites like Zacks – http://www.zacks.com/
    Smart Money – http://www.smartmoney.com/ Schaeffer’s – http://www.schaeffersresearch.com/
    Some of these web sites will have advertisers who are worth looking into also. And remember, if they offer free information, get it.

    Attend all the free seminars you can, just be careful and don’t get pressured into anything you really don’t want or need. Most schools offer courses in finance and economics, but very few will have courses on the mechanics of the investment markets, if they do try taking the course. You may want to consider on-line courses, the New York Institute of Finance use to have such courses. Try to get some fee information from the stocks exchanges they all have (had) free booklets, SIAC and some of the regulators (FINRA SEC MSRB CBOE) may provide some free literature.

    Good luck, educate yourself first, you’ll never regret it, and it won’t cost you anything.

    best way to pick longer term investments is to go with what you use or buy a lot of, or simply like the company – then do some investigation into their business model.
    I started out by buying wholefoods stock back in the day because most of my paycheck went to them – turned out to be a killer investment…

    start by going to the book store and reading everything you can about what ever you are interested in.

    Might I suggest you start with educating yourself on the topic? For instance, find out what are the investment strategies and their pros and cons. Then decide which strategy suits you better.

    Learning to read the financial statements can give you a better information set on which company to choose for.

    Start reading analysts reports and see how they analyse companies. You can follow how they analyse or even improve on their methods.

    After educating, take actions, and dip your feet into the pool and start investing in companies you think it is good. Pick up lessons here and there and improve on your investment skills.

    You can refer to the website below to find out what are the investment strategies.

    The best way to start is not to get tips and all that, but to start learning about how to read annual reports, how to look around for good companies and how to do either technicla analysis or fundamental analysis. Don’t put any faith in tips and tricks. Cheers!
