Hello, I have a rather large amount of money that I would like to invest and don't know where to begin. I would like not to disclose the amount I have but let's say 5 million dollars. What is the best possible advice you can give me for investing this money. I am an absolute nubee when it comes to investing. I would just like to hear other investors ideas if they had $5 million to invest. Thank you.

google stock
reliance petroleum
Infosys
ITC
DLF

sectors i look for is generally realestate , IT , FMCG

My best advice is not to go posting figures like 5 million on a forum, you'll be bombarded with people who want your money. Some may be good, some may be bad. The second best advice I can give is not to include the word 'nubee' (which is spelt 'newbie' by the way) in the same sentence as 5 million dollars. You're begging to get scammed.

You could start by reading some books and articles on prudent investment.

Hi There,

If you are from US , I can suggest you an amazing opportunity. wherein you can make amazing money with bank. Your money will stay in your account and you could make huge profits.

Good Luck!

What do you mean... can you please elaborate. Is this $0.5mn real money that you made??? How do you play this virtual stock market?

If you know nothing about investing then instead of going to forums and getting advice from who-knows-who I think you should go to a professional financial advisor and get yourself setup with mutual funds or ETFs. It's usually a good idea to keep some percentage, say 40%, in bonds and the rest in equities. With a large sum like yours you should be concerned about preserving wealth and not risking it. If you know nothing about investing and have no experience then you're likely to make losses investing in individual stocks.

Hi

That is a huge amount of money! But i guess you should get acquainted with how stock market work before you invest your money. The best way is to participate in forums like this. Hang around and pick up the threads. The other is to read books on financial investment. Also visit sites like moneycontrol, morningstar and www.marketsimplified.com which are user friendly and are quite easy to get information especially for novice investors. Happy investing!
