In Poland OFE (which means: retirement funds) always publish twice a year a list of companies (because they must to publish by law) where it engages more than 1% of it's shares with the percentage rate of engagement.
List in this part of the year (1/2) turned to be very profitable, because it gave a profit of 27% (twenty seven percent). It's a way to earn your money without almost any risk, because the diversification of the portfolio is very huge.
Why to invest this way? Well, it's simple: somebody thinks for you, huge companies like retirement funds need to invest in a prosperous with higher returns.
Those selected stocks have a high dividend yield ratio, so the returns are even much higher.
I would find out how much are the costs and taxes for only doing such a profit on a half of the year (6 months). Even if they take 50% for all as a "fee" it's worth playing, because return of 10-35% per year is much better than bank account interest (4% or less).
Update 2011-01-30: To reduce maximally fee's (buying costs of stocks) buy only shares which are on the very top of the list (10% or more).
A stock market or equity market is a public (a loose network of economic transactions, not a physical facility or discrete) entity for the trading of company stock (shares) and derivatives at an agreed price; these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.
The size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion at the start of October 2008.[1] The total world derivatives market has been estimated at about $791 trillion face or nominal value,[2] 11 times the size of the entire world economy.[3] The value of the derivatives market, because it is stated in terms of notional values, cannot be directly
compared to a stock or a fixed income security, which traditionally refers to an actual value. Moreover, the vast majority of derivatives 'cancel' each other out (i.e., a derivative 'bet' on an event occurring is offset by a comparable derivative 'bet' on the event not occurring). Many such relatively illiquid securities are valued as marked to model, rather than an
actual market price.
The stocks are listed and traded on stock exchanges which are entities of a corporation or mutual organization specialized in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of the organizations to a listing of stocks and securities together. The largest stock market in the United States, by market cap, is the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE. In Canada, the largest stock
market is the Toronto Stock Exchange. Major European examples of stock exchanges include the London Stock Exchange, Paris Bourse, and the Deutsche Börse (Frankfurt Stock Exchange). Asian examples include the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the Bombay Stock Exchange. In Latin America, there are such exchanges as the
BM&F Bovespa and the BMV.

<AndyPSV> this type of investing isn't for everyone, e.g. me when I was playing forex (currency market) was
always doing 100% (however not every time) return in a DAY, but after some time, e.g. 3-4 days I've
lost 100%; 10,15 or 30% of the capital isn't much for most of the people, however it depends from
the capital you have acquired; the most of the money you can do is by investing in the start-up
companies (look for: private venture, seed capital investments); you can make a lot of money in the
stock market, although it's not for everyone - especially when they start with nothing or little
<AndyPSV> however as far as I know - those list are only public in Poland (maybe some other countries), so you
would need to invest in PL
<AndyPSV> probably yes, but remember that retirement funds are obligatory by law forced to publish companies
in which they invest and the statistics show that they _ALWAYS_ make a profit, however in the
yearly perspective maybe it isn't much, but 15-30% at max
