give me all your money and ill help you...ha ok ok i wont joke...
honestly...it depends on how you want to weigh your options theres MANY ways to invest... And the more you can gain in an investment the more of a risk there is. If you want a low to zero risk investment then you could simply but it savings or bonds...and save with compound interest. (putting the interest earned back into the same account.) If you definetely want to try stocks out which there's an adequate risk rate then you first need to know the difference. There's common stocks and there's preferred stocks. Common stocks are the most ...well..common stocks there are...Over the long term, common stock, by means of capital growth, yields higher returns than almost every other investment. This higher return comes at a cost since common stocks entail the most risk. If a company goes bankrupt and liquidates, the common shareholders will not receive money until the creditors, bondholders and preferred shareholders are paid. You could also invest in prefered stocks.. With preferred shares, investors are usually guaranteed a fixed dividend forever. This is different than common stock, which has variable dividends that are never guaranteed. Another advantage is that in the event of liquidation, preferred shareholders are paid off before the common shareholder...That's about all i'll go into here...I know pretty much all the rest but should help...Just find a company you have faith in and go from there.

I'd be careful with mutual funds since they're whats called in a waterfal pattern. There have been people hoping they could buy a house at their favorite distination with money raised with mutual funds. Didn't happen. Mutual funds may remain in this pattern for the coming 15 to 20 years...
Identify what type of investor you are and go with that. Small caps are usually for short term trader and big caps for medium to long term traders.

Don't start out day-trading. Open an acct @ schwab.com & fund it. Index funds(EAF), gold (IAU - an etf) , Reits (RRE) & some international exposure. Avoid banks & annuities. No need for any great research if not trading - just get going!
