Which shares are good for a strating investment?
Answers: Right now you should hold your money until the market stops the downward trend it's in. But assuming you are young, you should begin a 'Roth IRA' (individual retirement account) with any reputable brokerage firm, like Fidelity. It's earnings are tax-free and you can put any stocks or mutual funds in it you want, and sell them whenever you want. When you're 59 1/2 you can withdraw from it, all tax-free. You just are limited on how much you can put in each year, and you should max it every year because the benefit of the Roth IRA is so great.
That doesn't tell you specific stocks but it is something you should keep your stocks in.

Answers: You might try calling investor relations at Citi, or going to their web site, & see what you can find out.
But this article does voice: The offering, which was significantly oversubscribed, is expected to close on January 23, 2008.

If your current/future employer offers an employee 401k plan. Invest up to the matching % of your employers contribution. If plan offers an election to invest in a money market fund you may want to invest in it until you learn more. Next invest in a Roth IRA up to the max allowed(yearly). If you then have more money to invest, go back to your 401k plan and invest the max allowed(yearly). So after you do all the above and want to invest more you should be able to decide how. Only invest money that you can afford to lose. Making some quick money is nice but if you lose it, it gets right ugly.
You may also think about ETF's instead of mutual funds, stocks. and options.

Try what you learn on demo sites. They can be a very fun but educational way to learn from mistakes. If you pick 75% right with play money then you might be ready to start slowly investing.

I use Lightning Strikes Trading System for trading in any time frame and it works on forex, stocks, bonds, etf's, mutual funds, etc... They have 3 free training sessions a week and you don't have to buy the software to join in the live chat and text. You can even watch some recorded past live sessions. Here are some past charts that I used.

http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/MB16RxjOUQt...
There are 7 indicators (2 short, 2 medium, and 3 long term) and if volume is reported another one is added (on balance volume). Plus whatever time-frame is used the 2 green horizontal lines are the support and resistance for that time frame. So when indicators are all touching the bottom price is at or very, very near support. At top is at or very, very near resistance. Which helps my entry/exits and risk/reward ratio.

Get some friends to recommend you a good remisier working in a reputable securities firm. Step two is to attend some classes conducted by a stock exchange body to get the feel of it. Next thing is to read the approptiate newspapers, magazines and what have you to know the market. Don`t jump in blindly. I play the market full time to make a few bucks here and there for a living for many years. Got bitten many times. So be carefull.
