An investment is a long-term position, a year or more. Otherwise, it is a speculation, almost a gamble. The difference between buying stocks and buying lottery tickets and playing the games at Las Vegas is that you still have something the next day. But what do you want that something to be in? What interests you? What excites you? What intrigues you? Look there.
Do you like a certain chain store? There is a good chance you can buy into it. Do you like a certain food or drink? There is a good chance you can buy into it. Do you want to get back at the oil companies for the high price of fuel? Buy into one that gets most of your money, or perhaps the alternatives like those who make solar cells or wind generators or ethanol.
One idea for you involves going with something that is already going really big. The link below is for one of several, but check out the Exchange Traded Fund: NY. Each share buys a piece of the 100 largest (by market capitalization) corporations on the New York Stock Exchange. They all got big somehow and most of them have been big and stayed big, often (but not always) getting bigger still each year. Get a piece of that action in one stock: NY. Check it out.

For investing ideas I think the best way to get started is to invest in what the best traders are buying. This is the idea behind the site, http://www.Top10Traders.com -The site lists out which investors are doing the best and what stocks they have bought. Just click on the portfolio of the best investors and you can see the stocks they like.This is a free site that also lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.
Here are this month's best traders:

to begin ingnore every thing Guy-H said, go to briefing.com to get an idea of stocks, Google is too expensive so you may want to consider some type of fund or index tied to the dow. Take alook at QQQQ, buying one stock is buying into the entire NASDAQ.
