You are investing $1300, you do not need a financial advisor, in my opinion. The financial advisor will give you some very conservative advice, which is good, and then take atleast 10% of your $1300.
You can do your own research and save your money.
It is highly likely that the advice given to you would be to open a retirement account. This is in fact always a good investment for anyone who has not done so.
If you have done this, or you wish to wait on the retirement fund, 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 part is you get solid annual returns from well-known, safe Blue Chip companies like: Merck, General Electric, Pfizer, Weyerhaueser, Bank of America.......etc........
They are inexpensive to start and maintain, and your dividends are reinvested for free.
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.
Look at all suggestions closely. You are probably an intelligent person and are capable of making an informed decision.
Good Luck |

The idea that an individual needs to consult a financial advisor to invest $1300, is a little crazy to me.
All you need to do is a little research. You do not need to give $150 or more away for financial advice you can obtain on your own. And it is highly likely that the financial advisor is going to try to get you to invest in mutual funds that he or she will get commissions on every time you purchase them.
If we were talking about a large sum of money, then it might be a good idea. Because then you would have to diversify more and probably need advice.
This is a fairly simple financial matter. I shall give you my opinion.
Look at retirement plans. If you are not ready for a retirement plan yet, as many people like to wait until they settle into a permanent job, look at ETF's or DRIP Plans.
ETF's are basically mutual funds with lesser fees.
DRIP Plans are even less expensive than ETF's. I have had one for over 22 years and it has performed quite well.
Good Luck |

At the end of the day, you will still have it, and the government will not be able to suck the gains it made through income tax. |

A stock mutual fund that employs a value strategy and invests in micro-caps and the lower end of the small-cap universe would be my choice. These funds have a history of delivering higher returns than broad-market and/or large-cap mutual funds over the long term.
One thing to watch out for, though, is unrealized capital gains when investing in a taxable account. With all the recent redemptions by people bailing out of the stock market, many funds are sitting on a capital gains liability that won't be distributed until the end of the year. But, personally, I wouldn't worry about it. It's not that big of a deal.
Setting up an account online with a discount broker with a mutual fund marketplace is easy and free.
Finding fund screeners online is also easy and free. Yahoo's fund screener is a good place to start. http://screen.yahoo.com/funds.html , Schwab and Morningstar also have good screeners. Look for small-cap value funds that have been around for at least 10 years, have a good track record and a low turnover ratio. Pennsylvania Mutual and Heartland Value are two funds that meet this description and provide a good basis for comparing other funds.
Typing in the ticker symbols at Yahoo! Finance is a good way to get detailed info on mutual funds. I like the info provided under "Risk." The Sharpe ratio is the best measure of comparison. It is a measure of excess return (actual return minus the risk-free T-Bill rate) per unit of risk.
Good luck!
When you have more money to invest, be sure to diversify! |

this is not a question I would ask here as everybody thinks they're an expert.
Better off speaking to a financial adviser...
Further.
To all those that gave thumbs down.
Do you think you are an expert. Would you like it if someone told you how to lose your money?
If you are an expert then you would be working as a broker and would be suggesting that the asker talked to a broker. To do otherwise would be a contradiction wouldn't it? All I suggested is that this person gets help from someone that knows what they are talking about not some jumped up wanna be brokers on this site.
I see none of you are top contributers in this specific field.
And yes I do realise that I will get more thumbs down, I don't care, but I was never expecting to get a best answer here. Just don't want to see somebody lose all their hard earned cash... |

Oil stocks, such as Exxon Mobil, are great to invest in, as well as gold and other precious metals. They have continued to rise for a very long time, despite the ongoing bear market. |

Contact a discount mutual fund company like Vanguard, T Rowe Price and talk to an adviser. They can answer questions and help you choose a stock mutual fund that meets your level of risk tolerance.
Single stocks are to risky for an uninformed investor, let the pros pick the stocks. Over any 10 year period stocks have outperformed all other investment options. |
