Daily newses on the down market and fair valuation of best companies attracting lots of new investors to invest in stock market. Most of them have doubt to where they can start and how they buy shares from the stock market. "How to invest in stock market?" is the question from them as the result of this thought. Below is the possible way to invest in stock market for newbies.

1. Open an online trading account and start purchase and sell shares. (Opening an off-line account also will do to those who doesn't have internet facility. But, each time you have to call the broker and give your instructions to purchase and sell shares.)

2. Invest through mutual funds: This is known as the best methods to those who have very little knowledge on selecting and buying direct equity or stocks from stock exchange. This method not only make you to be a disciplined investor as well as your money will be managed by professionals.

Because of its nature, a newbie can purchase this and hold for long term to get very good returns from the economy growth. To purchase ETFs, you required to open a DMAT account as I mentioned earlier.

5. Portfolio Diversification to beat inflation: Diversifying portfolio not only give you exposure with multiple products but it is a good idea to beat against inflation. To diversify, you can have real estate mutual funds, international funds and gold funds and gold ETFs to your portfolio. All these investments are good to beat inflation.
