Best way for a 23 year old law student to invest a small amount of money?
I want to invest somewhere around $200-300 dollars. I am not familiar with investing, but I want to know which way would be the best way to MAXIMIZE my return without large risks. Given the state of our economy and the constant ups and downs of the stock market, what would be the most efficient/safest way for me to do so? I will be graduating with lots of debt and I want to have some sort of a financial backbone to work with in the long run.

Please provide resources/references corresponding with answers, so I know how to get started. Thank you in advance for your advice.

its going to be hard for you to invest only $300. Most brokers and mutual finds require at least $2,000 to open an account. Also the amount of money you earn on that amount is unlikely to be meaningful versus student loans. I.e,. if stocks are up 20%, which is a stretch in this this environment, you will make $60 before commissions or expenses. Not to discourage you, but consider looking for a low minimum IRA and buy a mutual fund. tba

The amount you have to invest really limits your options. Fees will wipe out any gain if you wanted to look into the stock market. On the versus side, the interest from regular bank investments will be negligible given the current low rates for things like savings accounts, money market accounts, and CDs. Depending on your risk tolerance, here is an article about an alternative investment that I think is fairly safe for the returns you can get, http://www.thefinancialfitnessclub.com/article.aspx?ID=1253 . If you decide that you don't like that idea, then I truly think the best place to put that money would be towards your debt. "A penny saved is a penny earned", so if you can save from paying 8% interest on $300 of your debt, then that is the same as earning 8% interest on that money.

I also hope this is $200-$300 of savings and not your last $200-$300. Don't invest money that you can't afford to live without.

Realistically, thats not enough to invest. Keep it in cash (savings account or money market fund).

"I want to know which way would be the best way to MAXIMIZE my return without large risks."

Usually the higher the returns the greater the risk you will have to put up with. For example, you can put your money into a savings account and get maybe 6 per cent. If you invest in US stocks you can expect to get 13 per cent. If you invest in Chinese stocks you can expect to get 130 per cent. These are based on historical performance and what happened in the past may not happen in the future.

What you have to do first is to understand how much risk you are willing to take. If you want virtually no risk at all, put your money in your bank's savings account. Otherwise, diversify it in stocks. If you want maximum risk for maximum potential return, you invest in small cap stocks (small companies) and emerging markets (China, India, Russia, etc).

My friend, the first thing that you need to know is that an "up and down" market is exactly what a market is. If you were to visit your favorite local store and as you walked in you saw that they were having a sale would you walk back out? Would the "ups and downs" of the retail market keep you from buying anything?

The current state of the market is a prime opportunity for those who understand a few simple truths. There is never a bad time to invest; the very best time is always yesterday!

I suggest you consider:

For short term (under five years) money - Mutual Fund Money Market Account

For longer term (over five years) - Mutual Fund Growth or Equity Fund.

T. Rowe Price is a good no-load fund. Check their minimum investment requirement however. If thier minimums are too high for you do some research through Money magazine or its website.

I hope this helps.

Mutual funds. Get and read a copy of "Investing for Dummies."
