Stock markets are the most risky way to make money. However, that said they are easily most easily available methods to make money and they provide gains which are far in excess of any other money making methods.

There are two ways you can trade stocks in the market. The first one is by opening an account with a stock broker and the second one is by investing in mutual funds. These mutual funds have managers which will invest the money given by you as an investor. The risks are the same in the mutual funds as there are in the stocks.

To avoid the risks in the stock market you need to make sure that you have the best of the trading strategies understood and always invest in stock market for long term. Short term trading generally has a very low success rate.

Once you have the long term perspective in mind then you can invest in stocks which are the most the most defensive or the most risky.

Instant gain can be there in some stocks but again these stocks can also give you losses so you better be careful.

If need to have time to monitor the stocks only then invest in short term stocks else go for the stocks that are for long term.

Have a cushion for losses otherwise you can be caught off guard and there will be no money left for you to cherry pick stocks. Buy when everyone is selling and sell when everyone is buying is the mantra that you should follow and that will help you make a lot of money.

Before entering the market make sure that you know what is your risk profile and this risk profile will come in handy while taking any risk in stock market.
