How should I go about starting on investing?
-
Hi guys, I recently just turned 18, and am very keen and curious about investing. Problem is, I don't know where I should start, or for that matter, how I should start. Could you guys give me some advice on how to start out, as well as recommend some articles, webpages, or even books that would help a beginner, like me, to shed some light on how to start out and acquire some knowledge of what is required in investing?

Discover the Mental Habits and Strategies that made them the World’s Richest Investors
Warren Buffett and George Soros all started with nothing — and made billion-dollar fortunes solely by investing.
But their investment strategies are so different how could they have anything in common?
As Mark Tier demonstrates in The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros, the secrets that made Buffett and Soros the world’s richest investors are the mental habits and strategies that they all practice religiously. Mental habits and strategies that fly in the face of the conventional Wall Street “wisdom.” For example:
Buffett and Soros don’t diversify. When they buy they always
“buy as much as they can.” They’ll both tell you that making predictions about the
market or economy has virtually nothing to do with their
success. They’re not focused on the profits they expect to make.
Indeed, their primary motivation is not the money at
all. They don’t believe that to make big profits you must take
big risks. Indeed, they are far more focused on not losing money
than on making it. Their beliefs about what makes markets tick are amazingly
similar — and diametrically opposed to academic theories like the
“Efficient Market Hypothesis” and the “Random Walk” which they both
view with contempt. And all those research reports that Wall Street churns out —
they never read them. They don’t give a hoot what other people
think. (In fact, Warren Buffett says he only ever reads them when
he’s looking for a laugh.)...and Transform Your Own
Investment ProfitsInvestment success lies in your mental habits and strategies, as Mark Tier demonstrates in The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros. In identifying the winning investment habits that led Warren Buffett and George Soros to phenomenal success, he has uncovered for the first time the mental habits and strategies that ALL successful investors share.

Whether you look for stock market bargains like Warren Buffett, trade currency futures like George Soros, scour the markets for undervalued takeover targets like Carl Icahn, invest in real estate, antiques or collectibles, use technical analysis, buy on dips or buy on breakouts, use a computerized trading system — or just want to salt money away safely for a rainy day. Harness the investment genius of the world’s richest investors by adopting the The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros and you, too, can make more money more easily than you ever thought possible.
In The Winning Investment Habits of Warren Buffett & George Soros you will discover how the mental habits and strategies that guided your last investment decision stack up against those of the World’s Master Investors. And then learn exactly what you need to do to harness their investment genius — and transform your own investment performance.

3 Steps To Profitable Stock Picking
Stock picking can be a complicated process but does not have to be. Many investors have different approaches. However, it is wise to follow general steps to minimize the risk of the investments. This article will outline these basic steps for picking high performance stocks.
Step 1
Decide on the time frame and the general strategy of the investment. This step is very important because it will dictate the type of stocks you buy.
Suppose you decide to be a long term investor, you would want to find stocks that have sustainable competitive advantages along with stable growth. The key for finding these stocks is by looking at the historical performance of each stock over the past decades and do a simple business S.W.O.T. (Strength-weakness-opportunity-threat) analysis on the company.
If you decide to be a short term investor, you would like to adhere to one of the following strategies:
a. Momentum Trading
With this startegy look for stocks that increase in both price and volume over the recent past. Most technical analyses support this trading strategy.
Consider stocks that have demonstrated stable and smooth rises in their prices. The idea is that when the stocks are not volatile, you can simply ride the up-trend until the trend breaks.
b. Contrarian Strategy.
This strategy is to look for over-reactions in the stock market. Researches show that stock market is not always efficient, which means prices do not always accurately represent the values of the stocks. When a company announces a bad news, people panic and price often drops below the stock's fair value.
To decide whether a stock over-reacted to a news, and look at the possibility of recovery from the impact of the bad news. For example, if the stock drops 20% after the company loses a legal case that has no permanent damage to the business's brand and product, you can be confident that the market over-reacted.
With this strategy try to find a list of stocks that have recent drops in prices, analyze the potential for a reversal (through candlestick analysis). If the stocks demonstrate candlestick reversal patterns, I will go through the recent news to analyze the causes of the recent price drops to determine the existence of over-sold opportunities.
Step 2
Conduct researches that give you a selection of stocks that is consistent to your investment time frame and strategy.
There are numerous stock screeners on the web that can help you find stocks according to your needs.
Step 3
Once you have a list of stocks to buy, you would need to diversify them in a way that gives the greatest reward/risk ratio. One way to do this is conduct a Markowitz analysis for your portfolio. The analysis will give you the proportions of money you should allocate to each stock. This step is crucial because diversification is one of the free-lunches in the investment world.
These three steps should get you started in your quest to consistently make money in the stock market. They will deepen your knowledge about the financial markets, and would provide a sense of confidence that helps you to make better trading decisions.

You can look into alternative investments. Short term, low capital outlay.
What is Alternative Investments, how it can be part of your portfolio
Alternative investments is an investment product other than the traditional investments of stocks, bonds or cash.
As volatile as the stock market can be, many investors have been looking into safer ways to invest their money. So, "alternative investments in real estate" have become increasingly popular.
The two most accessible ways to invest in real estate are:
- to buy rental property as an individual
- to join a real estate investment group
Buying rental property can usually provide steady, reliable income if you find the right tenants. However, there are also expenses like property taxes and general upkeep that can limit profits, as well as huge investments of time and effort.
Real estate investment groups offer a more hands-off, low-risk method of investing in real estate. A group of individual investors contributes money to a company that purchases a property (usually something like a co-development). -

No matter how godly you may be, e.g. making 100% profits a year, if your base is near $0, then in the end, you don't make much too.
The first step before you think of investments is how to get your seed capital. That is even more important than any other investment knowledge.

Buy blue chip IPO
It costs only $2 to apply for the shares in an IPO.
MOST blue chips IPO debut above its IPO prices.
I bought Mapletree GCC, SPH Reit and OUE HT recently.
I got 6 lots from Mapletree GCC, 3 lots from SPH Reit and 8 lots from OUE HT.
The gains are $500+, $200+ and $100+ respectively.
The money is not a lot, just enough for some kopi.
