Everybody Wants to Know How to Invest
Those unfamiliar with the process of making and managing investments often have more than a few trepidations about investing in general. They figure that, since they do not know how to invest, they will never learn. Of course the horror stories of investors who lost their life savings on some bad deal don't help people to feel any less secure when figuring out how to invest. Fortunately "how to invest" can be taught and learned. "What to invest in" or "where to invest" is another matter entirely ? if someone can tell you that, and be 100% correct every time, latch on and don't let go because you have found the fabled Rosetta Stone. So, how do you invest? A big part of the investment process will depend on how much money you have to invest. The amount will determine the best investments for you as well as the best methods of investing ? whether you're best off acting on your own or working with an investment counselor or advisor. If you have a small amount to invest, say a few thousand dollars, you may want to start small with an interest bearing account such as a CD. Higher investment amounts usually warrant bigger investments, but bigger investments are riskier as well. If you're investing ten thousand dollars or more, it is definitely advisable to use the services of an investment counselor or advisor. This professional can show you how to invest your money as wisely as possible to get the best rate of return you can. Those investing very large sums of money, one hundred thousand dollars or more, will have no shortage of those who want to show them how to invest. You may think that someone who has that kind of investment capital would already know how to invest, but there are plenty of folks who had forty bucks in the bank yesterday and suddenly found themselves recipients of insurance payments, lottery winnings, inheritances, and the like. These people are often easy prey for unscrupulous individuals in the financial industry and should immediately seek the assistance of a reputable broker or investment counselor to show them how to invest their money.

Risk and Reward
If you are doing your own investing in the stock market, what would be the first question you would ask yourself before you make any trade or investment? If your answer is how fundamentally sound the stock is, or whether the stock just broke out of a trading range on a chart, or the fact that the stock has gone down 50% in the last 6 months, or whether the volatility is low now so it is a good time to buy or sell, then you are probably on the road to ruin. These strategies have nothing in common with each other and there are all kinds of different criteria that I did not mention that have nothing in common with each other. However no matter what type of strategy you use to make your investment decisions, there is only one crucial question that must be asked before you pull the trigger and make the trade. That is, what is my risk and what is my reward on this trade. Even if you are going to buy a stock and hold it for a long time, you still have to be aware of your risk and your reward. Why? Because the entire stock market may be here for the rest of your life, any one stock might not be. You think, that is okay I diversified a lot so I don't need to know risk and reward. Wrong.
