Mugsy | Financial Investing Question??? |
I am a recent college graduate and hear all of the time that it is important to start investing early. Since I just graduated I do not have very much money to invest. What is the best route for me to take? Is there a good way to invest a couple thousand dollars? Am I worrying about this stuff too early? |

It's always best to start saving and investing as early as you can. I started saving for my retirement at age 26, and I wish I had started at 18.
What to invest in depends on what kind of investor you are. If you are very interested in the stock market and like to track it daily and do a lot of research, then you might do well as an investor in a variety of stocks.
I, however, do not know a lot about investing and know that I don't want to take the time necessary to learn. For that reason, I invest in mutual funds. Mutual funds usually contain stocks from a certain sector of the entire market--ie technology, healthcare, real estate. Retirement mutual funds are rebalanced over time, sometimes quarterly, so that your investing becomes less aggressive, the nearer you are to your retirement age. Thus, as you get older, your retirement investments will earn less, but the income will be steady, without the fluctuation you might have with riskier stocks.
I am currently invested in a retirement mutual fund and in a healthcare sector mutual fund, as well as owning shares in Intel and IBM.
Another thing I do is dividend re-investment. This enables the dividends you receive from your stock or mutual fund shares to be re-invested into buying more shares of those instruments.
There's also a technique called dollar-cost averaging that you can try. The idea is that you spend a set amount of money each month on purchasing shares. It can be as low as $100. This way, when your shares are worth more, you can buy fewer of them, but overall, you will continue steadily buying, so that your number of shares increases, as does the total amount of dividents you'll earn.
My father suggested to me that I should concentrate on buying stocks in the $20 price range because they are more likely to double in value over time than more expensive stocks will.
Good luck with your investing! |

It's never too early!
You have to ask yourself whether you are willing to take on the responsibility and invest by yourself, or if you want to get a financial advisor. Ask yourself how much risk you are willing to take. Will you panic if you loose it all, or are you willing to take such risk through learning how the market works? If you have the courage, invest in all stocks. If you're a little more concerned about protecting your hard earned savings, then go with a mix of bonds and stocks.
If you have a couple thousand $, then you may want to open up an online account, i.e. sharebuilder. Watch the market for a while to get a feel for the movements. Look into index funds if you want to invest right away. Until you are well educated in the market, I would not suggect you try to invest in a specific company.
Most investment bankers have a minimum account requirement (my firm's is $100,000), so it will probably be hard for you to get an advisor if you just have a little money to invest.
Good luck! |

You have to start somewhere and the earlier the better. I'd open up an account with a broker like TD Ameritrade and invest in just a couple stocks you like. The safe play would be a mutual fund, but I don't like paying fees. I think the best way to learn is to invest in stocks yourself and do a little homework on the stocks you pick. And don't worry about the number of shares you are buying. What I mean by this is don't buy a low priced stock just so you can get 100 shares of a stock. Buy stocks you like. |

It's never too early to start investing for the future.
A great investment would be to open a Roth IRA. The gains at when you withdraw the money will be tax-free. Possible places are Vanguard, Fidelity, TRowe Price, and others. A great product is a lifecycle fund that starts more aggressive to grow the money when you are young, and automatically converts to conservative investments as you near retirement. However, there are tax penalites for withdrawing the money too early.
Thus, if you need the money to be liquid, options could be to open a non-retirement mutual fund account (also from the companies listed above). I like index funds that track a certain metric such as the S&P 500, mid-caps, small-caps, international, bonds, etc. |

First, set goals for your life then start saving, studying about investments and as soon as you feel confident about it, take action and do it.
Too early? lol, I wish someone had told me what I know today when I was like 12 at least. |

Do not invest in stocks. Too risky for you.
Better invest in business.
You will get around 20% annual interest. $2,000--> $2,400 in a year. You will not get such high returns on bonds, stocks or CD's.
I run my own business and I have profit margin of over 5% a month.
Some European banks pay 8% to 14% a year (5 years deposits).
Email me at investment4us@hotmail.com for more information. I would advice you something if you are serious about investing.
Best of luck! |

Before you invest, I would suggest learning how to do it properly, this potentially saving you possible loss. www.finysis.net gives some guidelines on investing for free. It also sells some excellent e-books and software on how to analyze various types of company in which you may wish to invest. Based on the information and functionality provided, these products are great value for money: I've got them and made a few thousand within a month!. There was some luck involved (as there always is), but the principles paid off big time. The good thing is that the e-books are practical and make you think about investing in a scientific manner, rather than just putting your money anywhere and hoping for the best. The software also does all the calculations of ratios, models and projections for you, thus reducing the chance of mistakes and the time involved in calculations. Give www.finysis.net a try. |
