The BEST website is the Motley Fool, it explain things in an easy to understand tone. One of the options they suggest for someone to invest with a little per month is direct investment with a company. |

Better put your savings into a high interest account @12% APY as I did and get a guaranteed income. This is the best and safest investment for you. Investing in stocks is too risky for you as a beginner. Contact me for more details (check my profile). Good luck! |

What industries are worth I have to work on a business
case wherein a large
publicly-listed company (into
beverage, food, and packaging)
wants to diversify. It has
been investing a lot in
petroleum, electricity, and
telecom. Do you know any other
industries it can invest in?

What is the best way to begin I am just beginning to learn
about investing and would like
to invest internationally...
just not sure where a beginner
like myself should start or
how to do it for that
matter... or what to invest in
(stocks, bonds, mutual funds
etc). Any advice?

I think the best way for a beginner would be through an Exchange Traded Fund. Mutual Funds require thorough research because you are trying to evaluate the abilities of individuals to actively manage your portfolio. Rather than spend that time (and money through higher expense ratios), go with an ETF that will charge a tiny fee and give you broad exposure to the international markets. My recommendation would be to check out the iShares EAFE index fund (Ticker: EFA). It will provide you liquid, diversified exposure to Europe, Australia/New Zealand, and the Far East (Ex-Japan). If you have a bigger appetite for risk, you might also consider the emerging markets - look at Ticker VWO from Vanguard or EEM from iShares. |

How do you go about investing I am in my early twenties and
want to get started with
investing. What are some
resources that are available
to learn about investing?

The best is to get started a soon a you can. The best way to get started is by hiring someone to do all the trading for you. Make sure that he has a team of professionals. Check what kind of rate of return they have being getting for the last 20+ years (you want returns of 10-12% per year). In other words to get started investing on mutual funds. That meet the perfornace that I mentioned above. In a mutual fund you have a diversified portfolio that will keep you money in good investments. The mutual fund industry is highly regulated. The day you made all the research that you need and you feel comfortable managing your own portafolio just do it. This is a good simulator for stock trading: http://simulator.investopedia. com/?viewed=1 http://www.investopedia.com/ If you want to take it easy invest in mutual fund for the rest of your life and you'll be just fine. I have umbelievable resources on ivesting in my blog. |
