Katie | Best Investment Advice For a 16 Year Old? |
First off, I know I am not old enough therefore, I need my parents to be a part of my account or w.e.
Anyways, I have around 2 grand that is just kinda sitting in my bank account and I don't really need it. Instead of having it sitting in there, I feel I should invest it.
Of course, I am in it for the long run and I feel right now is a amazing opportunity, with stocks being so cheap.
What would you recommend? Is 2 grand to little amount of money to even bother investing?
Additional Details
Update....To Jeff A, who answered below..
I do not "need" the money because I run my own internet company. I have much more than 2 grand in my account. That is just around the amount that I would like to spend at the moment.
And yes, my father does makes a high 6 figure salary,(so to some, you might call me "rich") but that does not mean I do not understand the value of money. My dad has earned his wealth through hard work and dedication and even though some would consider me "spoiled" I still work harder than 99% of the people my age and my internet success has already proven that. |

first I commend you for being smart enough to see through all the BS to realize that there is a tremendous opportunity to buy right now!
There is never an amount that is too little to invest. I would suggest that you look at a Mutual Fund type investment to start so that way you can make sure your $2,000 investment is properly diversified. Diversification is very important becuase if one industry is slumping another should be doing well to counter balance things (Ever hear the phrase "Never put all your eggs in one basket"?). In a mutual fund you can also make regular contributions, ussually as small as $25 a month, so if you have a regular income you can invest more along the way as well to build up you investments. |

If you're in it for the long run (5+ years), I'd put it in an index fund. Index funds are a collection of a wide variety of stocks, and are designed to mirror the performance of market as a whole. The value of your investments will still go up & down with the market, but you won't have to worry about individual stocks going into the tank (concept of diversification --- don't put all your eggs into one basket).
Hope this helps. |

I would like to approach your question in a different manner.
Let's begin by realizing the fact that you have a probable 50 year investment life in front of you.
All money you do not spend should be allocated aside in a sort of "piggy bank" or brokerage account to make things much easier.
The most important thing I can tell you is that when a market chart is expanded over vast amounts of time, say 100 years, there are distinct "cyclical" (long term) and secular (near term) bull (buyer's) and bear (seller's) markets. It is imperitive that you realize that, in the long-term, the market looks like a giant sine wave such as the irrational Dow valuation build-up leading to the Great Depression and the following downward spiral of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which is the elite group of 30 industrial companies of the US.
Here's what you need to know...
1. Price to Earnings Ratio (PE ratio)
2. Dividends
3. Elliot Wave Theory (quite simple)
4. Long Wave Valuations
Here is a link especially for you which has helped me learn everything I know about stocks and commodites. There are a lot of very informative essays done by this guy. If you look what you read he also does newsletter subscriptions which recommend certain stocks and commodities to buy and I make a lot of money thru him. I think you'll really enjoy learning about investing as it sounds like you're a business-minded young individual and it is people like you whom I look forward to working with in the future. Good luck.

Lots of research and save,save,save. 2k's pretty little, but why not try and make it grow 5-10% a year? If you believe in the market in general and don't want the risk of an individual stock? Go with dia or spy. Look to set up a discount online trading account with a parent. For a safer bet and already at your bank, you could just go with a basic cd and earn more interest. I'd look to invest in stock though. Bu that's not for everyone. |

Two Grand is not a little, no matter who you are. You might not "need" it right now, but in a couple of years, you will probably wish you still had it if you were to go out and blow it, or just not manage it effectively. At the very least, make sure your account is interest-bearing. Maybe go for some tiered CD accounts at your local bank. If you want to play the market, I would suggest talking to a broker who could help you set up a portfolio. Given your age and the amount of money that you have "just sitting around" I would think you are in a prime position to start investing. The way I see it, you are already ahead of the game. The choice is yours if you want to attempt to remain that way, or if you want to struggle from paycheck to paycheck like the majority of us for most of your life. That is, if you aren't one of those kids whose mommy and daddy will take care of them the rest of their life and have no real clue as to the value of money. I am sure there are plenty of people, probably close in proximity to you, who would be more than happy to alleviate you of "2 grand just kinda sitting around that you really don't need", and leave you face down in the gutter gasping your last breath in the process. Sorry to sound so harsh but: WAKE UP!!! |

2 grand isn't too little to invest. i would reccommend watching that kramer dood on tv. otherwise i think it would be good to invest in an energy company or the housing industry. reasons being oil is down right now and WILL go up (opec) and the housing industry is HORRIBLE right now (rock bottom?) it should turnaround in 12-18 months and you could end up with some bank!
if you wanna play it safe, join a 403(b) metlife or look into mutual funds. |
