Hi Friends, I am at that age where I should start investing. I am completely new to the field so I would be grateful if some one can please give me help and guidance:

Where and how do I start out?
What first actions do I take?
What do I plan for?

that kind of thing.

Ideally I would like to invest in equities (stocks and shares), fixed incomes (bonds), property etc. I realise that I won't be able to do all this straight away. I realise that a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

If someone has any useful websites, books, etc that would truly be perfect.

Thanks friends

If u had a portfolio worth one million dollars, how would you manage the portfolio to make sure you continue to be a millionaire, regardless of what happens in the financial markets?

I receive tons of mail from supposed experts in finance, and they always show stocks that they supposedly picked and how they went up anywhere from 200 to 1,000%. Then you read the disclaimer and it shows how much they were paid to push this stock. I am 71 and have a little money that I would like to double and tried one already who gave TNEN.OB. Bought it at $2.46 and it fell already to $1.79 a share. If anyone has had luck with stock or a good outfit please let me know. Thanks

It has a decent gross rental return (6%) but has been on the market for 6 months and has not risen in value over the last 5 yrs (as stated by the real estate agent). It is close to the town centre of a growing town, and has a very steep driveway. It is 10 years old. I intend to get a soil inspection to ensure the ground is ok, as the house is on a high. Should I make an offer, say 5% less than the asking price? Why wouldnt the property increase in value when all other properties in the area have?

If you wanted to invest $40,000 toward retirement, what would you invest in? Oh, and I am almost 40 if that helps.

i started doing stocks last Nov. with $5,000 (with TDameritrade). My account showed I made $250 last year . But They sent me a 1099 form which says Unrealized profit or (loss) on open contracts-12/31/06 is ZERO. Does this mean I did not make money from stock? how to report this on fax return? All my money are still in my account in TDameritrade,
If one does cash out, how to determine if one gains or losses?

Diversification sounds good but isn't it really a bad thing? It is like a huge mutual fund.... It helps you against downfalls wouldn't it go against you when you strike good in one area? I think it would be better to focus on one area.... Dollar cost average it. Why is diversification good? is it only good for a non-risky investor?

I have been contacted by this particular company and will be speaking with a rep on Monday. Would like to know if anyone out there has actually dealt with them and if what they have offered has worked out as planned.
