How do I get intobuying/investing in the STOCKmarket online?
Like to here from investors. I've never done this before. Is it possible to buy, sell, watch, research and manage all my stock on the Internet? I'm not a big newspaper person. I want to do everything from my computer. How do I start? What is the best website for this?
Yes, this is possible to research and manage all the stock stuff. You cannot trade or invest in stocks unless you open an account with a stock broker. Since investing in stocks has been much facilitated by the advent of computers and internet, you can easily register your account online with any stock brokerage firm. Before you open an account, you must find out the minimum amount you have to deposit with your broker irrespective of the type of account you opt for from the website of your brokerage firm. Each broker has his own minimum account limit, which may range from $500 to $10,000. The guiding principle before accepting the minimum amount deposit should be your budget and also the facilities and services that the brokerage offers for a particular level of minimum amount deposit. A comparison-shopping in this respect would prove highly beneficial in long term trading. While it may be true that the less minimum deposit you pay, the less you get in form of services as well, there are some brokerage firms that deliver much more value than the minimum deposit they demand. A good brokerage firm may demand a minimum deposit for example $ 2,500 but may deliver much more value in terms of lower commissions, as low as $1.50 to $ 3.00 per equity trade, free dividend reinvestment plans and a large number of free trades spread over a long time. They may not even charge you any thing if your account becomes inactive for some time. If you are beginner in stock investing, these benefits can prove to be of immense value in form of risk free investments and savings. The next step is to choose an account. You can choose an: 1.Individual Account 2.Joint Account 1.Individual Account As the name suggests, an individual account is an investment account that is opened for one person. You must have reached the age of majority, i.e., you should be 18 years old or above in your state of residence. The age of majority entitles you to full legal rights as an adult. Besides, you must also be a US citizen or a resident alien with a valid social security number. A resident alien is a person who is a non-US citizen but legally resides in the US and also pays the taxes. 2. Joint Account A joint account is an investment account that is opened for two or more people with the proviso that both people who open accounts should have reached the age of majority in their state of residence. Joint account can either be set up as Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship-JTWROS- --or as Joint Tenants in Common-JTIC. Opening both kinds of accounts is an easy process. It takes about five minutes to open an account on line. All you need to do is to select the account type you want to open and fill in your personal information. You also have to read and confirm the subscriber agreements, which include the 'account agreement', 'customer acknowledgment of risk' and 'day trading risk disclosure statement'. Besides these you are also required to comply with the exchange rules. So you have to read, understand and comply with both the New York Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange data subscriber agreements. You should read the agreement as you scroll it down to the bottom. Read both the sections of the agreement and check both the boxes before you move on. The next step is to choose your user ID and password. You also have to provide your email id for correspondence. You also need to select one of the four secret questions and provide answer to them. This information is needed to assist you to get your password in case you forget about it. You have also to provide your personal information including your name, date of birth, residential address, marital status, employment, number of dependents, phone numbers, mother's maiden name, social security number and country of citizenship. You have also to provide your financial information including your employer's name, annual income, net worth and liquid net worth. The answer to these and a few other simple questions completes the account opening process and you are ready to start investing in stocks and shares immediately thereafter.

Where can I learn more aboutthe stock market and investingmoney online?
I'm completely new at this and dont want to get screwed by anyone....I dont have much money as it is,lol
I know how you feel. I'm in the current process of setting up a website just based on this. So stay tuned. Basically go around forums asking people. But you will find that there will always be people happy with the service and others not. It is hard to know whether or not these people are simply plugging their own company posing as neutral people or not. So in the end, asking people at a conference perhaps may be the best way - as you can tell if they are straight out lying. Also books can be good too: but I've seen some books recently that plug their own products too - without you knowing!
I am a Canadian Citizen how totrade in India Online StockMarket Investing?
Just being a Canadian (without any semblance of an Indian origin) the truth is that you cannot invest in India at all. Note that unlike what someone had stated earlier, there is no Indian ETF currently trading Toronto Stock Exchange. Therefore the option to invest your RRSPs in Indian market is totally out of question. The best option available to you is to invest in India using the american exchanges. What I would suggest is to simply buy MINDX (Matthews India MUTUAL Fund), IGF (closed ended India Growth Fund) and IFN (closed ended India Fund). All of these trade in the US exchanges There also used to be a Eaton Vance India Fund. Of course all of these are US based offerings. So SEC rules apply for them. Then there are ADRs which offer entry points to Finance/IT/Pharma/Telecom, etc by means of the following Indian ADRs (also trading in NYSE/Nasdaq) Dr Reddy HDFC Bank ICICI Bank Infosys MTNL Satyam Tata Motors VSNL Wipro and some other low grade picks like Rediff India Sify India Silverline Personally, I would rather stick to MINDX and dollar cost average
