It's a personal decision, depending on how much risk you're willing to consider... some companies give out dividends, other companies don't, that's a consideration as well. I'd go to a mutual fund company, such as Vanguard, and learn about how mutual funds invest their money... when you find a fund you're interested in, you can look at the funds top holdings, and consider investing in the companies the fund invests in. The only other option is to start reading magazines like Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and other magazines focused on investing, and learn to read the charts, so you can make your own choices based on the data in the charts. E*Trade also has lots of info for new investors, and you can also set up your own portfolio there, and watch how your stocks are doing, without investing a real penny.

If you are new to the stock market I would invest in something that is big and cushy. Not volatile. Also I would try to remove any emotion from your trading strategy by getting someone else to do it for you. I just lost 33% of my savings by speculating and investing with emotion.

I would learn something about trading in the stock market before you begin investing. Believe me, I've been there. It's easy to lose it all (I've done it before). The first thing I would put my money into is some education.
