    Don’t put all your eggs in one basket for one thing. Stocks & Shares ISA’s(Mini or Maxi) are a good way of getting a wide exposure whilst leaving the work to a fund manager who has expertise in such things.
    If you are looking for big increases then maybe look at emerging market funds like China/India though these can be very very risky. If you are going for long term growth with little risk you won’t go too far wrong with UK stocks, not spectacular but they tend to be less volatile than the other markets of late.

    Go with a respected fund managers like Fidelity(Whom I’m with)/Gartmore & the like.
    And lastly, don’t just jump into buying just do a bit of homework first and look at past perfromance of the actual fund manager not just the company.

    If you decide to invest in individual shares that is a whole different ball game & requires a hell of a lot of research, balls & be prepared for heart attacks when the market drops (Like today!!!)

    Good luck

    Canadian Diamonds are sooooooooo hot right now!! Especially the colored ones. People buying them up like crazy.
    That’s my suggestion to you.

    I would wait a little longer to invest if you are not already in. You could use this time to research mutual funds that have stood the test of time. No matter what company you go thru, be it Fidelity or any others, research that fund’s performance. You should look into balancing a portfolio, a mix between stocks, bonds, and others. Don’t put everything into any one certain thing. Diversity is the key to surviving over time.
    No one ever got rich overnite in the markets, and if they claim to, they are either very lucky, or just plain lying.

    I have invested my own money for many years. My advice, dont put too much faith in financial advisors or Financial Newsletters, they don’t care about your money as much as you do. Plus the charge ridiculously high rates.

    I recently found an informative website. I paid $10 for a recommendation 5 weeks ago. The lady recommended I purchase SVR a silver ETF, and it has gone up 15% in those 5 weeks. Not too bad.

    Check her site out:

    Go to : low-cost-stock-recommendations

    .com

    I suggest looking at the "Value Stocks" and the "Growth Stocks"

    Check it out….it is an inexpensive and the woman apparently has good knowledge of the market

    Good Luck

    Invest in Mutual funds if you are new to stock market

    You should know the meaning of mutual funds, before you choose to invest in mutual funds. These funds are a type of security that can be traded on the stock market, allowing shareholders to buy and sell shares in the funds. The revenue generated by purchase of shares is used by mutual fund manager to buy more shares of specific stocks, bonds, and other market securities and money market instruments.

    Since the prices of the stocks, bonds, and other securities held by the mutual fund vary, the value of the fund changes. The average value of every share of the mutual fund is fixed daily based on the total value of the underlying securities held by the fund.
