You can't get more basic than this first investment tip, but its worth re-stating again and again, its probably the most important thing to remember when.

Top Tip:

Don't put all your money in one stock! If you buy stock, spread your investment over different types of stock (and geographical regions), diversity is the key to safe investing. Also don't pick only one type of investment! If you buy stock also consider fixed income investments such as bonds, debentures and preferred shares, these will generate a predictable stream of interest or dividend income.
