Of all the 1000's of available mutual funds which are supposedly be run by professional managers - the vast majority of these either lose money OR underperform the return which could be attained by simply investing in an index fund. Now couple this statistic with asking your question on a forum like this to people you know nothing about OR have any reason to think they have a clue about what they are telling you. I think you get my point :)

So I am going to make a different suggestion - that being that you don't consider investing a penny until you have done a tremendous amount of study AND after that is done - be sure that you understand your own personal risk profile AND that base on that, along with how soon you may need the money that you are going to invest - make some decisions. The sooner you may need the money and/or the less risk tolerant you are - the more should invest in things like treasury notes-bonds - things that you know you will get your principle back from and some additional amount of return.

The more risk tolerance that you have and/or the longer the time period that you will need the money AND especially have a good income where you can also afford to lose money - the more you would want to invest in stocks as they have a hire historical return AND probably are best off investing in some kind of mutual funds since by the question that you are asking - I am taking the attitude that you have little or no experience in doing this.

Regarding funds and fund selection - why don't you go to the yahoo finance site OR the morningstar site AND look at the funds that are called core funds and/or index funds. Don't get sucked in by investing in the highest returning funds - chances are they got their returns because they happened to be investing in the hot sectors and won't maintain that fund over time. Have reasonable expectations - again understand the relationship between risk and return - and look at the funds historical returns AND how they have done in the various different market types. I would like a fund that has consistently outperformed an index by a couple of percentage points - which means if one year they were down 2% but the index was down 4% - this metric was still met.

Hope this gives you some ideas and things to study - you got a lot of work to do.

there are no foolproof methods of making money from the share market. Before you invest the first thing you should ask you self is 'HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I AFFORD TO LOSE'. After determining the figure then proceed and invest by following this golden rule' BUY LOW SELL HIGH'. but when is 'LOW' and when its 'HIGH'??. 'LOW' means when prices of shares have fallen spectacularly cheap when everyone wants to get out of the market and dump their shares indiscriminately. 'HIGH' means when everyone fanatically rush into the market and push the prices of shares ridiculously way beyond their fundamental values.
In short the third golden rule is to ' DON'T FOLLOW THE CROWD, GO AGAINST IT." Herd mentality is the chief principal of the downfall of many failed investor. When everyone makes a beeline to the market, you sideline. When the crowd zigs you zag. When everyone around you says buy then it is time that you and me have to say GOODBYE!
