Whatever investments you make, remember to diversify. You can either select investments, such as mutual funds, that invest in a variety of securities, or you can purchase a variety of securities yourself. If you do it yourself, be sure to invest in different sectors of the market (e.g. energy, financial services, technology) as well as in different specific investments.
