4. so, how to know which stock to invest in?
when you should buy them?
and, how you can make money from?

fundamentally, you can use various key financial ratios to start screening which stock worth your hard earned money. from there, you can go to the next level by further study how they perform qualitatively. Look here for more info:

then, you must study how much the stock worth. to do this stock valuation, you have to calculate intrinsic value. once you got it, buy the stock when it is at its margin of safety, either it was discounted than its intrinsic value, or discounted from the past historical prices. Look here for details:

now the last question, how you can make money from it? look, good company will grow over time. if you invest for your retirement, you can sell the stock after 20 years with as much as 30% return per year! doesn't it sounds good? and besides, you'll be earning dividends year after year, which will also grow annually!

I hope this able to help you to get started. but if it is not what you are looking for, apology for my misunderstanding.
