You have received some answers that suggest that you gain some knowledge about investing. I agree. There are many, many books that have been published on the subject, some good and some not so good. Your library would be a good place to start. "Investing for Dummies" is a good being book. And "Mutual funds for Dummies" is another.

The question "which stocks are best to invest in?" unfortunately no one knows the answer to. All investments have uncertainty, some more than others.

For many people who do not wish to spend the effort, mutual funds are a good alternative. But even those have much uncertainty. And 70% of mutual funds underperform the market in general. But they do allow a person to invest in a portfolio of securities with a minimum amount of effort. And the other 30% are excellent investment vehicles.

The key to successful investing is diversification. That means have a set of diverse investments so that if one turns out bad it does not ruin your whole day or your well being. That even applies to investing in mutual funds. Putting all of your money into one mutual fund is not too good a plan. Or putting all of your money into several mutual funds that have the same investment goals.

There are a relatively new set of investment alternatives called index funds. As I stated 70% of mutual funds do not perform as well as the market in general. The new philosophy is if you can't beat them join them. So the fund managers have developed index funds. Currently, there are a couple of hundred of these things. Their goal is to match the market indexes. You can purchase index funds that track almost every conceivable index known to man kind. Large cap indexes, small cap indexes, oil indexes, gold indexes, China indexes, European Indexes, Japan indexes, bond indexes. One big advatage of these new funds is that they do not do a lot of stock trading so they are very tax efficient and have very low expenses. The tax angle is very important. Mutual funds are required to distribute realized capital gains at year end so that you have to pay taxes on them. BAD. Index funds do not have a lot of realized captial gains so no taxes to pay until you sell the fund. GOOD.

investing in stocks requires knowledge. Start by reading, ALOT.
Trusting someone with your hard earned money requires knowledge, read some more books.
Start a paper portfolio, check into Clear station.com, it will help you track company's, learn how to decipher charts, get news, you can make a mock portfolio or two and it won't get you in trouble until you fill you can go at it for yourself.
investing in mutual funds can pay off in the long run. Think hard about the name Broker (it doesn't sound very positive does it brok er) some are very good, most work for commission, their interest may not be in your favor.Be careful and good luck.

You have not given me enough information to answer your question. So I shall have to guess at a lot of things. There are not "Best to Invest In" stocks. If there were some that every one knew about that would be the only thing any one invested in. That would be the end of that. However the maket offers soooooo many possibilites. Something for every one.

So I shall take a conservative stand here. Look for a stock that does not have a lot of debt, look for a stock that does have a regular business, not seasonal stuff. Also look for a stock with a good dividend payment. There are some that pay hit and miss. There are some that pay semi annually, some that pay quarterly and some that pay monthly. I like the monthly ones my self. Monthly compounding is of course a charming attraction. A stock that pays regular and a broker that automaticly rolls it over for you is a great way to get growth.

You don't have to build a working knowlege of every stock....just 2 or 3 of them that meet your needs. Thats about all the information I can offer you with such limited information in your question.

Options are also and option. Learning about options can be very rewarding. So look for optionable stocks. Once you own 700 to 1000 shares you can begin to sell covered calls against your stock. You will need at least 700 on the low end in order to make the money needed to pay the commisions and put some money in your pocket to boot.

There are many things to learn along the way. For example if you put your money in a CD, you will earn limited intrest. If you need your money before the term of the CD is up you get hit hard. If you put your money in 30 year Tbills, you can get it any time you need it for the cost of a commission. Your intrest rate will be a few points higher than the CD. where do you think they put the CD money?

As you can see there is much to learn, so get started and educate yourself. There are no risky investments like stupid investors.

Investing is centuries old. Yet so many know so little about it. Its the most profitable thing the common man can do. Yet the common man knows so little. Our school system does not teach much of the in's and out's of investing. Get some books start reading. Its boring stuff. I promise you will fall asleep in the middle of it several times. At some point you will begin to catch on. And you will begin to profit a little at first. That will feel good to see your first profit. With that first victory you will catch the fever and suddenly it will stop being boring and get very exciting. With modern day electronics the blue collor working can trade right on the exchange floor with the big boys. And yes you can compete very well.

It is a statistic that has been proven over and over. Throw a dart at the wall steet journal. and what ever it hits will out perform the average fund manager 7 out of 10 times.

One of the richest men in wall street was nothing more than a dock worker in california. So let the adventure begin.

I had a rich uncle who took me in and mentored me. Sort of a rich uncle poor dad story. My uncle drove a piece of crap truck. It was the only truck he ever drove. He made it last his whole life. My uncle made more money than my well educated father without ever getting out of bed. No one ever looked at him as a rich man. He never looked rich. He made over 70,000 a year just in intrest. My father worked his guts out for 25,000 a year.

Get the picture?

The best way to start out is with mutual funds. If you're young, in your 20s, try a growth or aggressive growth fund, and a bond fund. 75 and 25 percent or so respectively. If you're older than start with a Growth and Income fund, and a bond fund, 60/40. As you get older move more into bonds.
