You're kind of asking how long a piece of string is - making money with investments involves having a clear strategy, and applying it intelligently.

There are no hidden secrets - simply different strategies - but if you think it's as easy as handing everything on a plate then I'm afraid you kind of misunderstand investing - sorry!

Well,....copied and pasted below from THIS thread are some timeless words of wisdom that I have plagiarized.

Quote:

#4) Money slips away from the person who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familar or which are not appoved by those skilled in its keep. #5) Money flees from the person who would force it to impossible earnings or who follows the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to their own inexperience and romantic desires for investments.

If you would have bought Microsoft for $3.71 in Jan. 1995 then sold Dec 1999 for $58.38 you would have made a HUGE PROFIT.

However, the persons who bought Dec 1999 for $58.38 are now holding stock worth $29.99 in May 2008 and have suffered a HUGE LOSS.

So the way to earn huge profits trading stocks is to buy low and sell high.

It's that simple.

First and foremost you should be having an Idea as to what stocks,funds and shares are and why are they invested upon.If you are still unclear ,take up the help of a CA (Chartered accountant) or a financial adviser.Clear your basics first.Secondly the performance or output of a fund/stock anyone invests in, depends on the psychology of the fund manager.So, given a choice always choose the ones with a good and consistent track record.Always remember investments are made to garner good dividends,so be sure where ever you are investing ,the dividends should come from.Even if the stock you are investing upon provides you slow but secured dividends you should go for it.There are many stocks in the market that provides you with high capital gains ,but then they are extremely risky.So you being an amateur should try avoiding that.Learn the game first and then play it.

Better stick to mutual funds and practice buying stocks till you find a strategy that works for you.

Buy individual stocks with money that you don't mind losing.

Stick with mutual funds for investments. Hard to lose if you bet on both teams. Find a fund with a good 10 year record and start there.

Be careful though, as past performance is no indication for future returns. Just find a bull market and stick with it.

There are NO tricks my friend. The sooner you will understand this the better it be. This is one of the problems of capital marktes (from the individual point of view) - in order to trade you don't have to take tests or have BA, just open an account and start loosing money !!!

My best advice to you is that you buy some good books at amazon and learn by yourself from the book and internet sites.

GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!
