<human>:  I want to start investing but I'm not sure where to start. Can you provide me with some advice?
<bot>: One of the first things to consider when starting to invest is your goals. Do you have short-term financial goals, or are you planning ahead for retirement? Knowing what you are trying to achieve with your investments will help you decide where to start. Additionally, make sure you understand the risks and rewards associated with the different types of investments, and research different types of investments to determine which ones are right for you. It may also be helpful to talk to a financial planner who can help you create a strategy tailored to your goals and risk tolerance.
