Lets see if we can kill 2 birds with one stone here.
First off, make sure you talk to your parents about any investment decision you make. They will have your best interest at heart.
You might strongly consider a DRIP Plan.
They are seldom recommended by brokers due to the low rate of commissions received. However, these
reinvestment plans can be very powerful long-term investments. Studies have shown that DRIP's are one of
the best strategies on Wall Street.
They are inexpensive and easy to start. New investors to the stock market should definitely consider a DRIP Plan.
Companies like Toyota, Royal Canadian Bank, Sony, Bank of America, General Electric and many other Blue Chip
Stocks can be purchased through your DRIP Plan, with as little as 1 share in most cases.
These long-term plans are great for beginners as well as veterans. Check them out.
Best of Luck, and look at each suggestion closely. |

Why not look into Vanguards STAR fund? It only takes a minimum of 1000 dollars, and it is a "fund of funds" meaning you own several mutual funds. Clark Howard, a consumer advocate and talk show host, loves Vanguard for its NO commissions and small fee schedule. Check out www.clarkhoward.com for his investment page.
With such a small capital, individual stocks might be risky, however, with a mutual fund, you own tens or hundreds, or thousands of stocks, so it is less risky.
I suggest you check out " The Small Investor" by Jim Gard. Any public library should have a copy, and it's a nitty gritty of all the lingo in the industry.
Good luck and welcome to the world of investing!
Disclaimer:
I own mutual funds through Vanguard. Namely the 500 Index Fund Ind and Small Cap Index Fund Ind |

Do you want to invest or trade? You have to find a strategy that suits you.
Look for my post in answer to the other guy that was looking to start investing with $100.... it was about an hour ago.
$1000 is the least I would start off with so you have that.
Be careful and good luck. |

You my dear are truly ahead of the game and wise beyond your years, The new Donald Trump perhaps? anyways good investment would be solid straight forward investments with a guarentee that they will grow over time. GIC right now with any local bank are carryng intrest rates of up to 7% yearly. That would be earning u an extra 70 dollars every year profit. Really really shop around and if anyone on here says hey I can help u and tries to get any personal Info on u BUYER BEWARE...there is always at least 1 loser out there so be careful and good luck... |

That is a great investment amount for some one of your age. I would put the money into a mutual fund. When you buy into a mutual fund, you buy shares of a professionally managed group of stocks and or bonds. If you invest the original $1,000 and add just $500 dollars a year into a fund with a 8% average return, you would have over $350,000 in 50 years. The rule of capitalize interest allows your money to grow. If you want to see how much it would be worth if you put $1,000 a year it would be worth $666,000. Play with the calculator on the link below. Put 0 for tax and inflation. |

yes stock are good but you need to keep track of them to make sure they are making money and not lossing it. I am not sure if you can buy at 16yrs .
if you can not what you may want to do is go to the bank and ask about cd, ira ,and other options to build your money while you are waiting.

Well you have to trade in you parents name since your under 18 but I'm 17 and I have a blog where I'm turning $10,000 into 1 million up to $20,400 now (104%) in less than 3 months. Visit
http://tradingaddiction.blogspot.com/ for more info
But I would suggest buying options since you have so little cash and because your so young. Go to my blog and look at the books I recommend from amazon.com they are only about $1.00 each so check them out, great books for beginners.

buy precious metals. Gold bullion, silver, ect. A good option for someone your age + you'll have more freedom to do what you want, buy & sell without needing to fill out forms, parents signatures ect. Silver is under valued at this time. so it's a good buy - only $20 an ounce. You can't loose. buy silver bullions from a local jewerly dealer that has been business for 20+ years. Gold has gone up to 1000.00 an ounce and is predicted to go to 1650.00 by the same people who predicted that it would go to 1000.00 this year. Good Luck. |
