if you have extra money to play with, you can try investing some on stocks ...if u only have a few thousand bucks and its itching (chilairacha bhane), u rather save that money for emergency.... things are going to get worse before it gets better .... so only if u have lots of disposable income or savings then go for investments....not trying to discourage u ..we need investors such as yourself to boost the economy..but this is the truth...we obviousely don't want our nepalaese brothers and sisters to waste a little bit of their saved hard earned money on a stock market this risky....if u have lots of money, sure go ahead buy some cheap stocks ...gamble ...but if u wanna make a habit of investing which is a great habit for your retirement or for your child's education....u can go for overall index for fortune 500 ...or go for ENERGY STOCKS ....but make sure u check for stocks that are overpriced...people tend to divert all their investments on comapanies that seem to be doing well...google, apple ..but more often than not , these stocks are overpriced and are more likely to crash ... well, it's better to buy AIG, CITIBANK, GM shares with the money that u might wanna gamble in LAS VEGAS though..good luck..
