Why? When you think about it, are about 90% equity funds through the clues to overcome! Perhaps you could his desire to "individual actions contribute" by purchasing one or more actions in monitoring the Foundation's Index "for espionage, DIA, QQQ, etc. ..
It's an excellent idea to have only one or two shares, unless the money is only "virtual" because of the nature of each company if you have the individual names, you have enough different that has an "insurance" against a great loss if a company proves to be the next Enron, Global Crossing, or whatever ...
Best wishes.

Individual actions require a brokerage account. You can index funds bought directly from fund companies have before. If you do your own collection activity, which could also open a brokerage account online discount, as Scotrade or Ameritrade. If you ongoing advice probably an agent of the society of the full-service need, but I want to avoid the big names like Merrill and Edward Jones. Try to find an independent consultant, you can trust.
Hope this helps, have a new year, a large
If I were you, I'll stay with index funds.

first step is to open a brokerage account. Your funds are index-EFTS? If yes, do have one already, then you are the first hurdle. If you do not need to open a brokerage account. Another step you must take in order to learn the basics of the assessment of stocks. There are all sorts of books on topics ranging from technical analysis to fundamental analysis. The long-term investors should be more interested in fundamental analysis. A book that the topic of "Security Analysis" by Graham and Dodd addresses. A reading classic, but very dry. The other is "Sensible Stock Investing" by Van Knapp. Doubtful that there will be a classic, but it still helps. Some online brokers have a wealth of resources to analyze people's research reports and recommendations. Fidelity has a lot. There are a number of services available online that can be useful. Morningstar is one that is not too expensive. Securities offered recommendations, which must of course be evaluated with a healthy dose of skepticism. The inspectors of the shares can also be very BeneOfficers. Yahoo has a dandy. Unfortunately, there is no substitute for experience and can get expensive, especially in a bear market.

Finding a way to invest in individual stocks as is) to investment funds (collections of many shares, which work well (for Berkshire Hathaway - Warren Buffet, the Fund (the wisest man to go about investing in the story) The goodwill value by $ 141,000 - yes, it's true - more than U.S. $ 100,000 for operations, look at the individual stocks that you think will follow in your background. Only in Paris on the good things - too - and to not forget to diversify. Spread your portfolio at least 35 titles in different segments.
But analysts say that the forthcoming 2008 as a bad year for investments - you might want to read a lot before them to take the first step. Good luck!
If you plan on trading for itself, you need an account with an online broker. Depending on how you:
If you have 25,000 or more, you can open a brokerage account and for all. (For Bank of America or Wells Fargo for more information from other brokerage firms offer free trading, if they achieve certain minimum requirements can be met)
If you are under that amount, it will collaborate with other companies, Scottrade is a smaller but costs $ 7 per transaction, each company at its minimum, commissions and interest rate fluctuates due, etc.
My club uses personally Wells Fargo, B / C, they are of great interest, as J. Personally, I invest my money with Scottrade, get a higher commission (not important because they are rarely bought and sold, I am a fundamentalist ), but offer better interest rates on the account, and we have an office near my house.
You want to May ETF as an intermediate step before attempting the direct investment in securities - which you can invest in specific sectors or geographic areas.
