what is the best way to make money investing in the stock market? Short term,Long term, day trading….?
I would say a mix of strategies might be best. The best thing to do is – do a lot of research. A good place to find interesting investment ideas is http://www.top10traders.com – this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own "group" so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.

Whether its investing in long-term or speculating in short-term, get in touched with your stock broker.

The best way for me to make money is by buying long-term options on Index ETFs. I don’t know what the best way for you to make money is – it depends upon your knowledge, time, area of expertise, amount of capital, risk capacity, etc etc.
I would investigate index funds, as that’s a fairly easy way to invest that provides good long-term returns. Or you could follow companies and try to find undervalued stocks. Some people can do that consistently, but must people can’t do it for long periods of time. Or you could sell covered calls or puts or do something more exotic. But if you’re looking for a good place to start, start with index funds.

Day trading is definitely for speculation and you must be prepared to lose the amount of money invested especially in the current volatile environment.
There is no best way however. Only the way that suits you the most.
It has been historically shown that long term investment (20 – 30 years) in blue chip equity/stocks will result large capital gains as these are companies which will no doubt grow bigger (due to benefits of economies of scale and scope) over decades. Staying invested in the market over such a long period of time can also weather the extremities of market crashes. However, you can avoid losses by pulling out when a crash is imminent and going back in when prices are cheap.
If you prefer to take the risk however, you can try shorter term trading in more volatile environments.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people find a knack for one style of investing over others. Generally speaking, however, if you’re not a trading professional, then go with long term investing.

You are confusing your terminology.
Investing is long term.
Speculating is short term / day trading.
If you don’t know the difference don’t get mixed up in the stock market.
I would suggest a mutual fund at vanguard.
