Unfortunately, without any fear is not really an option if you wish to invest. Take a look back at May. There was plenty of fear among investors then. There are a number of steps that you can take to minimize the risk, but unfortunately not eliminate it. The first step is to always have a cash reserve on hand. After the market has risen 50%, your cash resever should be augmented. When the market drops 30%, that is when the cash reserve comes in very handy. A good short term debt fund is a good place to have your cash reserve. It should perhaps fluctuate between 10% and 40%.
Secondly, you are on the right track. Invest in at least 5 different scrips with different investments objects. Maybe along these lines. small cap stocks, growth stocks, value stocks, large cap stocks, foreign stocks. There is some safety in diversity. Some but not complete.
You have already gotten plenty of advice on perhaps which to choose. But keep this in mind. Choose ones with a relatively low expense ratio.

Before investing you should decide when you want your money back. This will decide the time frame over which stocks should be compared.
If you are investing for more than 5 years then pick up any five stocks from Sensex. I would pick TCS, Infosys, Bajaj Auto, Ranbaxy, ONGC. (Reliance, ACC are also options).
If you are looking for very short term like few months then tech stocks and bank stocks could be safe bet.
In mid term like 1 to 5 years again the Sensex stocks will be best to chose. But be sure to select from different sectors not just one.

there cannot be best five scrips, but the rule is buying at lower levels of market and selling at the upper levels will yield profit. according to my opinion the five best are RELIANCE CAPITAL, HANUNG TOYS @ 115 FOR A SHORT TERM , Sugar stocks are now at rally and also Textiles , in sugar sector i suggest Triveni Engineering and Balrampurchine and In textiles Arvind mills and Jct
