Most folks lose in the Markets. It is a game of chance, with odds of winning somewhat better than Vegas. That said, with the world as it is, I would invest in gold. It is currently at around 700 plus per ounce, but should a major world crisis occur (which is inevitable) that lump of metal will go over 1000 an ounce in less than a week of the calamity.
Sell when it reaches that grand, sit pretty and watch the price of gold settle down back to previous levels when world geopolitics settles back down, a few weeks later. You could make a whack of money in very short order.
I would watch the Persian Gulf shipping lanes carefully. When oil is threatened, buy gold as fast as you can. The world won't end, and all eventually cycles back to calm. So you will be able to spend that windfall.

Within a few miniutes if your any good at it.
The best way to enter the market for the first time is via managed funds. This is where an inital investment is spread over several popular stocks. Once you get a feel for the market you can open an account with a broker and trand in indervidual stocks as much as you want. Each trade will caost about $40 depending on the broker.
If you deposited $100,000.00 into a basic managed fund on the Australian market 3 years ago your fund would be worth around 200,000.00 today.
Speak to some finacial advisors from you local bank for info

That depends.
If you're willing to take more risk you can get money faster but OTOH you're also more likely to lose your money.
The state of the economy will determine to a large degree how much you make but also what you invest in, if you put money in a company that has it's stock price soar then you can get quite a bit out of it, but if you put money in a company that goes bankrupt you stand to lose very big. Investing in the industry you work in is an unwise move because that will tie your investments to your current job prospects (i.e. you'd most likely to have your investments doing bad when you've been fired).
But whatever you do make sure you don't just put your life savings in a single stock, more than a few people have lost all their money doing that.

It depends upon your capacity to take risk, knowledge of stock market, sector you select to invest, government policies etc.

Quickly. The more riskier the investment, the better possible Home Run hit.
