Having invested for many years in stock markets trading shares, options, currency options and day trading CFD's, I don't recommend inexperienced investors try it. You can spend thousands of dollars taking courses from experts and waste plenty of time, yet very few people make any decent money at it. In fact, the majority end up losing a fair bit of money and time, some even go broke by taking big risks selling naked put options and the like. Generally speaking you need a lot of experience, money and resources to succeed at the stock market if you're new to it. I have also invested in residential housing and apartments, and have had far more success in this area. Investing this way is far easier and less risky than any other type of investing available for average people.
