Have you considered a Roth IRA? You can put $4000/year into one.
I would suggest a good mutual fund and not stocks to someone just starting out.
Target Retirement funds are a really good place to start.
Target funds are good for those who either don't know what funds are best to invest in, or who simply want to invest and not worry about it.
Pick a date close to your retirement date, and the fund will automatically adjust to more conservative as you near retirement.
Here are links to the target funds offered by all 3.

First, decide upon your investment goals. Are you willing to see your money tied up for a long time? Is there a possibility that you will need to get at it for some purpose, such as to buy a house? In my case, many years ago, I could tie it up for a long time, and didn't expect to be buying anything big anytime soon, but the idea of some liquidity was attractive, so common stocks were the way to go. So I picked a brokerage company, walked in, and opened an account. The only fees involved were commissions on the actual purchase of the stocks. |

Consider investing in your future first. Make sure your retirement account is fully funded, and all your debts paid, before you risk the money elsewhere.
Then consider how long you're investing for - long-term, short-term, etc. That will greatly influence your choice of invesments.
Consider mutual funds your best bet - they are low-maintenance and inherently diversified. You can choose mutual funds that focus on stocks, bonds, real estate, pretty much anything. |

First of all I started investing 4 years ago in a almost identical situation. I combed through all the invetsment sites and found that TD Ameritrade was the best for me. While it is $10 a trade and some places go for $8, I think it is a safe bet and I know my money is secure and the company is reliable. They have great customer service and in the end $2 is worth it. With 8k I would invest in 4-6 stocks to start out with. I know a lot of people that have like 10,000 shares of this and that company but $8000 doesnt allow for you to do that so spread out your money. I would say no less that $1000 in a company and no more than $2000 in any either. (The following in my suggestion on how I would invest your money) To play it safe I would put $2000 into a mutual fund, try a vanguard or a american growth fund (AGTHX) or something that has historically little risk and decent returns. This way you know atleast 1/4 of your money is not going to just up and crash on you. With the other 6k spread it out into different types of companys. I would go Pharmeuticals (Pfizer maybe because it gives a great dividend and will be solid for about the next 3 years), Energy (Exxon is always solid), Retail (I thik under armor is a great little known stock), Consumer (Starbucks?), Finance (Bank of America, JP Morgan, or Citi), and maybe a Time Warner or Disney. Of those stocks I suggested, they are all safe stocks that wont crash on your (Under Armour is a little iffy since it is new) and by watching those you will gain a great understand of stocks that you can use to invest your next $2000 you save or whatever. GOOD LUCK!! |

Congratulations on wanting to get involved in the stock market and investing!
All investors need to start somewhere, and books are a good way. I would recommend starting with "Investing for Dummies" by Eric Tyson and "Personal Finance for Dummies" by Eric Tyson.
Once you learn the basics of investing and the stock market, you can continue reading more books including the recommended books in this link.
In addition, you can start watching former Hedge Fund Manager Jim Cramer, on his CNBC show "Mad Money." While his antics may seem crazy to some, he has a lot of substance and has a good message. He had a very impressive record as a hedge fund manager. He even has a loyal following among Generation Y.
Continue to read magazines and newspapers such as "The Wall Street Journal", "Money", "Smart Money", and even "Barron's" or "Investors Business Daily".
Once you are ready, you can start choosing a brokerage account. Two popular ones are:
E*Trade (http://www.etrade.com)
TD Ameritrade (http://www.ameritrade.com)
They offer many kinds of accounts, and you buy and sell stocks, and mutual funds. The minimum to open each account is $1000.
http://techfarm.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-do-i-start-investing.html
Rest of article here including whether to try mutual funds, ETFs or individual stocks:
With $8k, and if you don't know too much about individual stocks, I recommend buying these ETFs, exchange traded funds, which are usually indexed mutual funds that you buy and sell from a broker just like a stock. You pay commissions to buy and sell them.
1. SPY -- S&P 500 Large cap US stock ETF
2. IWM -- Small Cap US Stock ETF
3. EFA -- Int'l developed markets: Europe, Japan, Australia
4. EEM -- Emerging Market Int'l ETF including Taiwan, Korea, China, Mexico, Brazil, China, India, Russia
That's it!
Hope you have a 6 or longer year timeframe, or else, maybe you should b more conservative with your investment. |

The best and safest way is to put it in a high earning cd. This way you can withdraw the interest monthly while keeping your money intact. And its secured by the government. Some banks in the Philippines can offer you such high interest rates. |

Assuming that this $8K is a small portion of an existing savings and retirement portfolio, then investing in higher risk areas such as the stock market is OK. I use TD-Ameritrade for my trading. I find the transactions cost to be low and the execution speed, help and information provided good. I use technical analysis to determine when to buy-hold-sell stocks. This is only for individuals that want to have a direct management of their funds, can and will enjoy spending time each day making stock decisions. Check out yahoo group ComputerProgramPicks. Best of luck to ya. Luck is executing with a prepared mind. |
