I think you meant to say 'stock" market. The stock market over long periods of time has yielded average returns of about 10%. That's about 6% above the rate of inflation. You should invest in the stock market for long periods of time as in very short periods of time, it is very volatile. As another person mentioned, it is better to own a diverified group of stocks through possibly a mutual fund family like Vanguard rather than just one stock as you can reduce risk by owning more than one stock. If you are going to invest new money every year into the stock market, this is a good time to invest. If you are investing 100% of your money at just at this moment, you are probably taking too much risk unless you are an experienced investor.

YES..... if you really know what investment in share market is. If you have followed and studied share market movements and few companies for atleast few years, it is wise and paying.
If you do not know anything about share market investments, please STUDY. Learn from newsreports, books, good websites and few people who have been investing in the share markets for considerable time. Try keeping notes so far as price movements are concerned and keep checking your assumptions/targets etc. After some time, you can invest.
Please remember: market will be always there and there will be many, many opportunities in the share market in future,too. So take time and study.
Wish you fruitful investments in future.

Oppertunity is always there in the market. Wiseness and fullishness will be decided by the future.You can make investment now in number of companies which are fundamentely strong and has good propectus in coming years. Markets always go up and come down but the companies whose fundamentals are strong go up and up with minimum risk.

First of all, Open 2 Accounts with any broker who is also Depository Participant. 1. Demat Account (For get credit of equity shares you purchase) and 2. Trading Account (To do online and offline trading). Also, Open a Savings Bank Account with any tech savvy banks (i.e. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, UTI Bank, IDBI Bank etc.) to transfer / receive funds to / from your broker's bank account.
There are many brokers who are doing online trading for you. I would recommend www.5paisa.com (I am doing with them since last 3 years and as of now, No complaints).
Invest only in Nifty Stocks (Equity Shares listed in National Stock Exchnage - Top 50 Stocks) and I am sure that you will NEVER lose your money. For more details, email me on aramaiya@yahoo.com to learn more about the Stock market.

It is never wise to invest in something you know nothing about. Consider investing in an index mutual fund. Try www.vanguard.com.
