      look out 40 years or more…….you are young…..be diversified
      buy a foundation of 3-5 good mutual funds or ETFs, then research individual stocks. Look into ETFs, they are like mutual funds, but have some advantages. I own lots of these :

      I don’t recommend day trading because it is so risky. I would go with an index fund from say vanguard.com or schwab.com, or even troweprice.com

      Be patient, they’ll all be ‘for sale’ at much lower prices in late fall.

      There is no easy answer for this. The stock market is very volatile, and even the best stock to trade now could tank tomorrow. Since you’re 30, you’ve got a few decades before retirement, if that’s what you’re hoping to save for. I would say, look into mutual funds, which spread out your investment, and thus your risk. Be careful from taking specific advice from a place like this though– most (if not all) states require financial advisors to be licensed. I should also say I am not licensed, which is why I’m not singling out any specific stocks or mutual funds.

      Let’s consider what is happening in the world today. The U S is not doing too well. The dollar, prior to Israel deciding to beat up on its neighbors, was sinking fast and will likely resume that direction. U S unfunded liabilities are in the trillions of dollars. Balance of trade deficit is in the trillions of dollars. Budget deficit is in the trillions of dollars. Health care costs may very well bankrupt the country.

      They aren’t making any more oil and the U S which consumes an overly generous proportion of the world output and does not seem to have any interest in cutting consumption.

      All software development and many other technical tasks are moving very rapidly to India. The Indian stock market recently had a sever correction and some of the software companies look attractive as do some other sectors.

      Manufacturing has all moved to China.

      Now where do you think the opportunities might lie?

      why have other people watch your money you have to pay for…buy a house!!! I can help you with that. I’m a loan officer.

      Pick a trend or product/ services that you can identify with…invest with belief and do not listen to everyday news. Stay away from penney stocks – only a small percentage of them do make it. If you want to accumulate wealth then start hanging around people that have done it or are doing it. Then start!

      I think before investing you should check out the past performance of the company. Also, while looking up information on growth of Indian companies and came across this one http://bit.ly/bG2pVX

      I am not sure if I can give you the list of top stocks in which you can invest and make money. But I can give you one thing for sure, I can give you list of top performing companies (in terms of their market capitalization and profitability) which may be great long term buys.
