Hi Jim,

Since you are still very young, Invest in quality stocks for long-term and don’t depend on stock trading too much. Time is on your side! So don't rush as yet.

Holding quality stock is like owning an excellent company; with hardworking employees struggle to generate income as much as possible for you. While stock trading is good for short term investment period, it will cost you much in transaction cost in the long-run.

to pick this kind of stock, look stocks that able to perform 15% ROE and 15% EPSGR (just for example) at least for the past 10 years. you'll be amazed on how much junk stocks are in the stock market by just applying this method.

high in ROE show that the company is working really hard to satisfy its investors. as much as possible, they'll meet the target set before and able to return some of the profit to its investors. this can be either in dividend or bonus issues.

high in EPSGR means the company able to grow in a growing industry. higher growth than the industry average shows that their product or services is widely acceptable to customer, another comparison that you need to do.

Buying good stock is my best bet. it is safe and sound too. But, you might want to invest in CD you you can't accept anymore risk than CD.

roth ira is good, also check out mutual funds... long term is what you want, 5 years or longer.... mutual funds average about 12%... :)

never invest in something you don't understand or you will likely lose money

At your age, you should not worry so much about safety. Don't take huge risks, but I would put the entire investment into stocks or stock funds. You might want to split it between US stocks and funds and international stocks and funds because the dollar is declining. Your international investments will help you hedge against further declines in the dollar (which are pretty much inevitable as long as we are in Iraq).

Investment =Risk

The money you invest can be lost..what you invest in may
go down instead of up.

It is much better to spend the money on educating yourself
in how to make money with money.

The stock market will still be there when you are knowledgeable.

Don't rush it! Plenty of time for you to make
a profit.

Wait until the markets have a 20% drop
then go in!

Learn while you're waiting:

Using Options

..less money...full control..great leverage..

$1 controls $10 worth...so you can multiply profits and losses.


START: Do courses and read books..
Look at the resources below:

For now continue to save your money. It is best to place the funds into an IRA so you get immediate tax benefit. Place after tax money into Roth. While you are saving, learn about technical analysis of the stock market. Try paper trading with what you have learned to see just how good you really are. Learn when stocks have the highest probability of going higher and when it is best to sell. Learn to sell your losers to keep your losses small. Best of luck to you. having luck is executing with a prepared mind.

Since you are still young you should invest in a Roth IRA because when you retire you will be in a higher tax bracket then you are now. Secondly you should invest in 82% stocks and 18% bonds. The older you get the more you should be invested in bonds. For example you need to take 100 minus your age like I did above. 100-18= 82. But for your other investing ideas open a scottrade account and invest in Russel 2000 but you need to stay in it for the long run.
