1. You don't invest in the stock exchange, you invest in stocks, bonds, or indexes.

If you prefer to have someone else manage your investments, then mutual funds would be the way to go.

And don't think you will make profit just like that. Most people lost almost 50% of their investments in the 2008-2009 decline. It can, and will, happen again.

It would be better for you to read up about investing in general before you start plunking down money for things you do not understand. You are bound to lose most of your money that way.

2. Never invest in stocks, take good mutual fund policies.

3. well it depends on where you invest in the stock exchange. which shares you buy. People say they lost their investments, its true but in the same there are many who made money when every thing was falling. One who lost money usually do speculative business. Once the person hears. Oh people are saying that company shares will rise.They start buying that company shares without know whats true and whats not. Investment in stock exchange is quite technical work :), First make a proper planning in which sector you want to invest. like in OIL industry. Then research on the oil industry. like future forecasting etc, current industry business situation. then find the best company to invest in that sector. doesn't mean company should be large. should see its financial documents. like balance sheet. Acid test ratio. Current ratio. profitability ratio. Do your complete home work. you can make a good profit out of it. No one can tell you how much you can earn in stock exchange. it depends on how much and where you invest. But still i would suggest you to do your own business instead of investing in stock exchange :)

4. Technical analysis is the best way to decide what you are going to invest in and you can get a lot of basics through to advanced tutorials at EWI.

5. There's no average figure for the profits you could expect if you invest 1000 dollars monthly. Here are a few steps. First of all, make sure you have a steady stream of income. Seriously, do not try to trade stocks for a living, especially when you're starting out. You cannot rely on trading, simple as that. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. Also, set aside an adequate amount of money IN CASH that you can use for emergencies. If you plan on committing $1000 per month to your stock portfolio, make sure that you have at least twice as much in cash. Stocks are not like a bank account, where you can put money in and take money out whenever you want.

After that, read some books on investing. I consider the following books to be the gold standard of investing books:
- Random Walk Down Wall Street, by Burton Malkiel
- The Intelligent Investor, by Benjamin Graham
- Security Analysis, Graham and Dodd
