It appears that large cap stocks may be in the process of making a comeback. They have been very poor performers for the last 5 years. Option 1. Index fund based on S&P 500. Option 2. mutual fund focusing on large cap stocks. Option 3, if you have enough dinero is to buy the individual stocks themselves--C, HD, MMM, JNJ, MSFT, DELL, BAC, MET

What Bruce said. The only thing that can consistently make over the market is insider knowledge - which is why insider dealing is illegal. Stock valuations already account for any information that's already widely (or even narrowly) known. So what you do is buy a spread through a unit trust and just ride the general success (or otherwise) of the market.
As well as averaging out over a number of stocks, average out over time. Stay in long term (many years). That's your best way to minimise risk.
Believe nothing that people tell you on the internet, even on well known news channels. That information isn't necessarily wrong; the point is that the market has already absorbed the info by the time you get it, and priced accordingly. There are no bargains.

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/c8109

If you wish to invest in a fund go to your bank. If you wish to
do your own thing in the stock market, go to a London Stock
Exchange brokerage house and consult them. If you don‘t
know one, ask a friend, who deals personally, for advice.
If you don‘t know a friend that can recommend, I suggest
you search (Google) "London Stock Exchange" and chose
one that strikes a bell in your head, although your banker
can give you a recommendation. It is a very complex affair
so do not try anything on your own. I worked in this trade
all of my life as a market analyst so that is why I tell you that
this is not for those who are not prepared. I could recommend
but, living in Brazil it would not be correct for me to do so.
Good luck, Iain

Invest in an isa through a discount broker.

bonds within a well perfoming hedge fund, that way, if the fund has been doing well, you know they monitor and manage it properly.
