Advice on investing at an early age??
Hi I m 16 years old. I got a part time job for about half a year, and i have about 5 thousand saved up. I decided that I want to invest around 2/3 of my money so that it can grow in the long term. I m young so I m willing to take a LOT bigger risks when it comes to money and I want to know what's best for me.

Please give me some helpful advices on investing, stocks, shares etc, because I am as new to investing as Paris Hilton is to gr 2 math...

That is awesome that you are going to start investing now. You have TIME on your side, so My advice is to be agressive, but not stupidly aggressive either.

I would suggest a mutual fund of stocks, or even a balanced or strategic allocation fund (ie. split 70/30 stocks to bonds)

these options will serve several goals-
1. get started asap.
2. helps you get experience with investing
3. make money over your long time horizon

with that being said- if you know someone who is a broker or insurance broker, you can probably buy funds from them, if not i reccomend doing something simple like-

-t. rowe price (one of my fav's for beginning investors)
-fidelity

take a look at their website and check out the educational area as well.

I would not listen to the lady who says the $3000 is not going to make any difference in your life. That is foolish thinking.

The post from the lady who said invest in a DRIP makes good sense. They are cheaper than mutual funds and reinvest your dividends at no charge.

Plus you get to choose from solid companies, which lowers your risk.

Definitely a DRIP plan.

Good Luck

Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.

They are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.

The best thing, in my opinion, is you get generous returns from large Blue Chip Companies like: General Electric, Walmart, McDonalds, Pfizer. They have less risk factor.

They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down.

You can't open a trading account until you are 18, but you can invest online right now and get 12%APY. http://answers.yahoo.com/my/qa/index;_ylt=AgQj5nMeOKonNqIU2F1uPaDsy6IX;_ylv=3?link=answer&more=y&show=UF6Pbs8Eaa

Don't go for stocks. Since the stock market is not going so well, overseas investments would be the best choice.
Email me at investment4us@hotmail.com and I'll give you a valuable advice if you are serious about investing. Please don't forget to mention your question and screenname on Yahoo Answers.
Best of luck!

If you want a quick return on your money then trading in cfd,s is the way to go.
You dont actually buy shares as such but buy a contract on the assets.
You then earn or lose money on the opening and closing price of the asset.
Many people have got rich very quick from cfd's but there is also the risk of losing money quickly.
Finding a broker will help as they can advice you on stops that sell when the
asset falls below a certain amount you can afford to lose.

You can't open a trading account untily ou are 18, so just save up your money until you are 18. When I was 18 I put the $8,000 that I had earned from my part-time job in the previous couple of years into my new investment account and started trading stocks.

The stock market is the best place to invest your money while you are young IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. You can get at least a 10-12% rate of return on average, vs 4% of leaving your money in a savings account.

Take the next year until you can open your investment account and read as much as you can about investing, and then open up a stock simulator account with pretend money.
www.investopedia.com has very good forms of both. First read all of the articles and tutorials on that site, and then open up a stock simulator account so you can try trading stocks for free without risking real money.

Some quick pointers from hard lessons I've learned:
- Don't buy penny stocks. Don't buy anything with volumn of less than 100,000 shares a day.
- Take your profits, don't get greedy or you may end up with none at all as you watch your stock drop back to what you paid for it
- Don't invest less than $2,500 into one stock at a time or you'll have a hard time making profits, commissions are usually $25 to buy and $25 to sell and it will raise your average price per share considerably if you don't buy much at once.

Open up an account at a good online brokerage firm like Fidelity. Investigate their mutual funds, and look for one that has a high return over the last 10 years and a low expense ratio. There is no commission to buy or sell these, and no transaction fee. Good for you for starting early. You'll be a millionaire by the time you're 30!


Paris Hilton Fan
The $3,000 dollars you're talking about investing isn't going to make any real difference in your life. If you're just dying to buy stocks, don't spend more than $1,000. Keep your money where it's available for you to spend if you need to. You should be thinking about your education, thats the investment that will pay the highest dividends over your lifetime. You might need the money for your education, if it's tied up in some "retirement" account, you won't have access to it. You shouldn't be thinking about big risks, if you want to take big risks, buy lottery tickets, thats a fast way to lost it.

And by the way, Paris Hilton earned a GED, which means she can do grade 2 math.
