I'm 24, and I have about $2,000 to invest?
I just turned 24, I just bought a house, and I have an extra $2,000 in the bank. Instead of having it collect low interest in the bank, whats a good investment I could do with the money?

First, do you have a "rainy day" fund with at least 3 months expenses? If not, just stick the money in a money market fund for the day when you unexpectedly need cash.

2nd, have you maxed out your Roth IRA (if you qualify)? If not, do it. If you don't have a Roth IRA yet, start one at T Rowe Price (I believe most Fidelity and Vanguard funds have a $3,000 minimum). Invest the money in a good index fund such as the Total Equity Market Index. Or do some research to see which fund fits your growth targets and risk tolerance.

I suggest you to open a brokerage and margin account at TD Ameritrade.

ING Direct, CDs, company stocks, mutual funds, IRAs, ROTH IRAs, 401K.

OR you can get your hands on something very valuable and re-sell it back on eBay for profits. :) Like sports tickets, concert tickets (hot bands), etc. It works for my friend. He's an eBay freak.

dude I am investion in cell phone porn not that i am a Perv but everyone has a cell phone and the market is right and hot now .

Well, I couldn't really give you a good answer for that, because I have no Idea about your financial situation. i.g. do you have a mortgage? if so what's your rate? fixed or adjustable, do you plan to go back to school? Are you married? do you have kids? Do you have any depends? Do you have any other loans? (car payments, Student loans, etc)...

I'm going to assume you are married, no kids and have a fixed mortgage under 8% and you plan to go back to school at some point.
1.) Roll it into a Roth IRA (only if you make less then... I forgot the exact amount... I think like $90,000) Roth's a great becuase you are taxed upon contribution not withdrawl... so you don't get screwed on the back end.... also when you decide to go back to school (higher education) you can make a withdrawl without incurring a penalty.
2.) An IRA in itself isn't really an investment. it's just a place to put your money, like a checking account, so someone has to do something with it, like a Financial Advisor or YOU!... I recommend you. Most of those finacial advisors are idiots and you have to pay them a commission. So since you are young, no dependants, Take on alot of risk... Look for the big beta investments.... Biotechs seems to be the big one today... you want growth instead of Value. Worst case, you lose it all, you are young and you have plenty of time to make it back. Best case, the more you have in the begining the more you'll end up with in the end.(There is a whole long example proving this, they call them dick and jane charts or something like that... so just trust me)

So everyone is thinking you should pay off the mortgage... Which isn't a bad Idea either... the more you pay off in the beginning the less interest you'll pay total... but I am still a believer invest like crazy the potential is much greater...(and please remember Riskier)... I can go on and on and on... but I won't because I'm boring myself just typing this... if you really want to know more... post again... with more details and what you're goals are.

Look at SmittyJ's advise, he's very conservative and it's really really good advise... Mine, well, It's how I invest and I'm doing alright, not as good as some, but better then most.

Try looking into buying and selling. Visit liquidation.com , buy something that sells well and try it out on ebay ! Youll make a killing.

deffinely put it in the stock market. it's just about to go up. you can never go wrong with Nasdaq but i think it'd be good to spread the money throughout a bunch of companies. Netflix is an interesting company and if you wanna take a gamble. go for borealis. BOREF.pk is their ticker symbol. put just a little in, it might pay off in the end.

buy new windows for your home or any general home improvement, it will raise the value immediately

Contact a local investment firm and let them advise you more.

Save it all for when Cargill goes public. Infact take out a second freggin' mortgage on your house and sink it all into the IPO when Cargill goes public. It will be the IPO of our life time. ...can't say no one told you now...

CONGRATS on the house. I say purchase a CD not one that you play on your radio. Go to the bank and they can tell you about them.

Congrats on the house. If you have done any research, you know that CD's and Money Market have a medium return, but not for the long haul. Mutual Funds with a great 5-10 year track record are a great way to go. You can go through one of the top companies by yourself, look on-line, like T.ROWE Price, Vanguard, Janus, etc., and they will send you info. My mutual funds do super! I have made tons of money on them and will never regret being a safe investor, because when I retire I am set up that at this pace I will have over 2.5 million. Good Luck!, and happy investing! Educate yourself the best you can with books and magazines, and XM talk radio. It gives you a good perspective.

You can do many things. Start learning about commodities by reading http://uscommoditiestrader.com or do currency trading or regular mutual funds or stocks trading.

You should be very proud of the fact that you are a homeowner at such an early age..congratulations. My advice is that the best investment you could make right now is to give yourself the peace of mind that you can make your mortgage, insurance, tax payments and other basic expenses in the event your income drops due to some unforseen event. Set up an emergency fund and continue to add to until you have accumulated at least 3 months (preferably 6 months) of living expenses. The best options for an emergency fund is a bank savings account or short term CD...however you may be able to get a better return from a money market fund which is not FDIC insured but is extremely safe...a personal banker at your local branch office should be able to assist you... Once you've accumulated 6 months of living expenses you're ready to start putting away money into longer term investments such as mutual funds, stocks, bonds etc...at that point I would suggest you seek the advice of a licensed investment advisor.

I don't suggest the CDs because they are so low intrest. They're going up, but 5.27 is about the best you can hope for for that kind of investment. It is good if you don't want a risky investment though. I prefer to trade stocks online.
