Question

Is it possible to start investing online in the stocks with minimal risk?

Answer 1

Yes. It is possible but you should also know that those with minimal risks have minimal returns.

Higher risks = Higher returns

Less risks = Less returns

You have to gauge where you are. How risky you want to get or how much return you want to have.

Answer 2

Yes, invest in mutual funds.

Answer 3

It possible, but every investment has some risk, and if you not knowledge about investing, the proverbial snow ball has a better change

Before you invest, you should know what your investing in, why you're doing it, and how to do it

There are many people just like you that are, or were looking to invest and those that did bought Mutual Funds and/or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).  One purpose of mutual funds is to help investors like you, who are either just entering the investment world or who have no investing experience.  Once you feel you at least have an understanding of investments you should look into ETFs which are similar to mutual funds but are traded on the exchanges.

Mutual Fund companies as well as ETFs have an entire array of products many will fit your needs. You can go to the MSN.Money website

http://moneycentral.msn.com/home.asp  it has an entire section on mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds.  Read about the various products and in doing so you will be getting investment ideas and at the same time educating yourself about investing.

You could also contact the funds companies for more information.  I have found that Vanguard & Fidelity can meet your needs for mutual funds.  The service and information they provide is all free and you will find it helpful.
