I would make an appointment with a financial consultant. You can get referal through your bank or a major institution. If you are looking to invest money in the stock market, I suggest also watching "Jim Cramer's Mad Money" which airs mon-fri. Your best to talk to a financial consultant,, they will evaluate and come up with some great ideas personalized to you based on what your looking for specifically and how much money you are willing to invest.
www.fool.com is a good starting point. Anyway, make sure you have no debt (except perhaps mortgage) and that you have an Emergency Fund before you start investing. For the Emergency Fund, set aside 3-6 months worth of living expenses for emergency purposes. You can place this into high(er)-interest savings accounts such as WaMu, Capital One Direct, ING Direct or ETrade. They are currently at 3% level. Once you have the Emergency Fund funded, then you can start investing. Hope that helps!
Start now by buying shares at low prices. The market is a bear right now so there are plenty of opportunities out there. Utilites is a good place to start. Open up an account online to get started or contact a financial broker. Remember, buy low and sell high. http://www.tdameritrade.com/welcome1.html

Hi, start gathering info... the more you get the more choices open - depending which area of investment you're lookin in and what interests you. I've started investing in www.finanzasforex.com/tiara, did so much research before - I even went to Vietnam to open my trading account, but never traded - was too risky. This option's good and safe. I wouldn't do it myself, is too risky, but they're good.
Go to finance.yahoo.com and look into their tutorials.
If you are a beginner in the world of investing, it is natural to be a bit apprehensive about getting started investing in stocks.
READ: The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing: Taylor Larimore, Mel Lindauer, Michael LeBoeuf, John C. Bogle Unless you are an experienced investor, I would caution against individual stocks and get rich quick schemes. Reduce your risk and check out Vanguard ( http://www.vanguard.com ) Now is an excellent time to put your money to work. Spread the risk by investing in a mutual fund (Vanguard's STAR is a fund of funds-a fund which buys shares in other funds-and therefore carries a lower risk) . It is comprised of 65% stocks and 35% bonds. Make sure any high interest loans/credit cards are paid off and you have 2-3 months emergency cash before investing. Vanguard is a low cost, no load mutual fund company. There are others; I have been with them for 30 years and retired early. Your results may vary. Read the "Planning and Education" tab if you visti their website. Good luck
