I'd let it sit in the bank. I'd be too afraid to lose it any other way. |

Pay off my credit cards, that are all "charging me interest.
That would take that $1,000.00 dollars anyway. <}:-}) |

i wouldnt put them in stock right now, id try mutual funds. in order to make money you have to stay in something for a while through the good and bad. just leave the money there. also i heard gold is a good investment right now. |

Gold or Silver. The physical asset. We are in bear territory for stocks and trying to pick a bottom is tough. If inflation continues to skyrocket and the dollar continues to tank, putting you money in the bank is a losing proposition. The pace of inflation will far outstrip the paltry interest rate you will receive in a bank and therefore, you will actually lose spending power by keeping your money in a bank. Gold and Silver provide a hedge against inflation and as the dollar sinks you will see real returns on you investment.
A CD is a losing proposition. Inflation is at 5.5% and if you are lucky, maybe you can get a 1 year CD that pays close to 4% (and that's pretty rare, most are paying @ 2%).
Congratulations! One year after not being able to access that money you now have $1040 tops, before taxes!
If holding gold or silver in it's physical form isn't your cup, look into DGP which is a double long gold ETN. It tracks gold futures and returns 2x any increase in gold. It's up .70 today as of 12:15. Your $1000 could have bought you 40 shares and today alone you could have made $28. Or you could wait a year for that CD to come due. JMHO |

That's not a lot to invest. I would put it in an bank savings account and let the bank build it up with interest. |

I would ask a GOOD discount brokerage firm, such as Charles Schwab to do it for me,
giving the broker my goal, my restraints. |

First off there are a lot of really bad answers here. What you would pay in fees for investing would burn up everything that you would make.
Tradeking only charges $5 a trade. To buy and then sell means $10. Well if you make 5% which is a decent return. You are actually in the hole $5. From my experience in banking as someone with two retirement accts and as a day trader you need about $2500 to $3000 before stocks become worth it.
With $1000. Put it in a CD at a bank. Sit on it until you add to it and then play the market. |

If you have no credit card debt and want to buy a stock I'd get GE. Its near a 52 wek low and its like a mutual fund. Good dividend (reinvest) for a buy and hold investment |

I am youngish, 39 years old, I have a job, make pretty good money and have about $100,000 already safely invested in a portfolio of stocks that I like. So, I would play with $1000 dollars and buy some FRE ( Freddie Mac) or some long calls on the Dow, because I think long term the dow is gonna go back over 13,000. If your circumstances are not the same as mine then you shouldn't be invest the way I am. |
