I could propose a no load mutual fund. they're managed by investment professionals. decide one that has a lasting capital growth objective. You may think about one that offers a systematic investment plan.

There are hundreds to decide from.

P.S. I bought stocks on my own and have lost money on most of them. I have made lots of money on my mutual fund investments.

My best advice is 1st to start reading the Wall Street Journal every day.

There are lots of ways to pick stocks. Any of the big businesses will have at least SOME info available for you online. The one that springs to my mind 1st is Fidelity Investments, they added something knew called the Trading Knowledge Center to help teach clients about investing in individual stocks.
I could think about a couple of factors, although. 1st, are you sure that stock is best for you? could it be better to get a diversified mutual fund to mimize the risk of the investment? if it's actively managed or passively meaning an index fund you get the benefit of others picking your stock for you with minimal cost.
If you're focused on the idea of individual stock and dont want to take the time to go out and learn much, think of it this way purchase what you know. What kind of soda do you drink, Coke or Pepsi? What brands of cleaning supplies do you use, what kind of car do you drive? Where do you shop? If you feel confident enough to use up your money there, why not invest in the fundamental company? Just a thought.
