If you time horizion is long term (10+ years) I would suggest mutual funds with T. Rowe Price. Unlike American funds someone else mentioned, TRP's funds do not charge a load, are low in annual expenses and if you set up an automatic electronic transfer from your bank account to them, they have a minimum of $50 per month until you reach their usual $2500 minimum investment. Vanguard does not have this type of program so if you go with them, you will have to wait until you save up at least $3,000 (or $1,000 for their STAR Fund). |

The answer to your question requires some research on your part. Every person has their own goals to consider and the question simply cannot be answered in a few paragraphs.
I recommend going to the American Association of Individual Investors website - aaii.com - to explore your investment choices. |

"American Funds" is a company that offers various mutual funds that you can invest in. They are stock market investments so you will be exposed to stock market risk. You can invest as little as $50 a month, so it might be a good place to start. Vanguard is also a good place to start. |

many banks offer certificates that are cheap and can enter some sort of lottery.
but if you aim for long term investment, you can raise a child, get him through school and college. but that may cost more than $100 per month |

In order to determine what is a good way to invest your $100 monthly we need to know what your goal is for the money.
Assuming that you are saving for retirement a Traditional or Roth IRA would be a good idea. A Roth IRA may be a good way if you think your tax rate will be higher when you retire vs what it is now. I would not recommend doing individual stocks just yet. You will probably be better off using a mutual fund that allows for automatic investment. This will automatically draft the $100 every month so you wont even have to remember to do so. When picking a mutual fund you should consider your risk tolerance. If you want something low maintenance I like using asset allocation funds based on your risk tolerance.
I would consider using C.D. if it was for short term investing or if you dont want to have any risk associated with your investment.
Depending on which company you invest with you will find that some offer financial advisors who gives advice and others where they just merely offer you the tools to invest.
If you want to work with an advisor, I would focus more on the advisor itself than the company. I would ask friends and family for referrals in using one. (This option usually cost more because you are paying for the advice and service via commission or fee)
If you plan on doing it yourself, you should make sure the company you choose have the tools & resources you will want to use. (This option is usually cheaper but you wont have the personal advice)
wow I didnt realize I was going to write a whole thesis. Hope this helps. |

Investing $100 a month?
Type of account: Roth IRA is a type of account, and is mainly used for retirement funds. Is this the goal of your money? If not, you can use a regular brokerage account from places such as E*Trade (www.etrade.com) or Ameritrade (www.ameritrade.com).
Goal of money: Sounds like you want growth. So investing in stocks, or investments which represent stocks (such as stock mutual funds or ETFs, Exchange traded funds) would be good. So CDs might not be good because it is
Investment vehicle:
Buying ETFs (mutual funds which trade just like stocks. you buy and sell them and pay commissions). However, you can select certain stock mutual funds which don't charge any fees outright (no-load, no transaction fee funds), and you can add as little as $100 a month in these mutual funds without paying a commission. This is the best way. You'll be surprised how regularly saving together with the growth of the stock market over the LONG time would lead you to a large sum of money!

most cd's and ira's have a minimum to invest, I think the usual min is 1k but you get there and I think you can go up from there. CD's are good cuz the money is tied up pretty much making it harder to find a good reason to spend but you can make just about as much money from a money market account. check out www.bankrate.com for different rates, etc. |

One opportunity that I recently got involved in is prosper.com
Prosper is involved in building a network of lenders and borrowers that work outside the traditional network of financial institutions. Think "Ebay for unsecured loans."
People who want to borrow post a listing of how much they need and what interest rate they're willing to pay, then lenders bid on those listings. This creates an efficient market where the borrower gets the lowest possible rate and lenders get better rates than they could get from savings or CDs.
If you sign up through this link, both you and I get $25:
http://www.prosper.com/referrals/all.aspx?referrer=ahem&utm_source=referrer-ahem&utm_medium=referral-button&utm_content=all_dark-180x150&utm_campaign=referrals-all
You can earn higher returns if you're willing to tolerate higher risk, but most importantly, you can diversify your investments such that no borrower can default on more than $50 of your money if you so choose.
I've currently got a portfolio with an average interest rate of 15.5%, which is spread across borrowers of all risk levels. YMMV, no warranty either express or implied, but after three months I haven't had a late payment or default (since the loans are repaid from automated transfers out of the borrower's checking account).
Good luck with your investment plans. |
