Investing is not just a gamble on a hunch. It really depends on the investors scenario and suitability. In general are you looking to make a quick buck, or look for monthly income, or gradually grow the value of your invesment, or also if you want to grow your money tax free n etc. If you're looking to start off investing try to get into some blue chip stocks (long established companies like ford, GM, Pfizer, etc). If you have a larger balance to invest in then look into some mixtures of small cap stocks, mid cap, growth funds, value funds, etc. Mutual funds are great! If you're looking to start investing just drop into a bank near you they usually have an Financial Advisor (FA) on location that you can just set up an appt to talk about some opportunities. Most of the time its free, i know with my bank WF its free to just go and sit and talk with the advisors.
