I can see this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my two cents. Before diving in, spread your investments across different asset classes (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.) to reduce risk. Diversification can help balance out losses in one area with gains in another. Define your financial goals, both short-term and long-term. Also, be aware of the tax implications of your investments. Different types of investments may have different tax consequences.
