I agree with GoneFishing. Be wary of Financial Advisors. Not that they're all bad but good ones are tough to find. Besides there's no avoiding it, you're going to have to educate yourself by reading. Here's a few books to get you started...
"Personal Finance for Dummies" by Eric Tyson
If you get embarrassed by the 'Dummies' piece, get over it. This book has sold millions and gives good common sense advise. The rest of this authors series is very good as well, "Investing for Dummies" and "Mutual Funds for Dummies". May be basic but some excellent guidelines and rules of thumb in all of these books.
They're all available in your library. They might have an older edition but all of them but the guidelines are pretty consistent across the board so just pick one up and go from there.
As you learn you may want to check out these...
Four Pillars of Investing by William Bernstein
Random Walk Guide on Investing by Burton Malkiel
Want to really get into it?
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham (the father of value investing). Be sure to get the one that has commentary by Jason Zweig as he'll help translate some of the information.
"Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton Malkiel is a classic on index investing. It's in its 9th edition.
I think those should keep you busy. If you're working follow the advise in the other answers by maxing out your 401k. If you still want to invest more, check out a Roth IRA. Don't know what the heck I'm talking about? Check out the dummies books and you will sooner than you think.

Start now. You are thinking ahead. I would start in a mutal fund, and simple ira's. Get ahold of a good broker and let them know you want to start. They will show you how to let your money grow non-aggressive, and aggressive. I would be aggressive as you are 20 and have alot of time. Had I invested when I was 20 I would own Starbucks..haaha |

A lot of that would depend on whether or not you would prefer to pick your own stocks, bonds, currencies etc. or whether or not you want to invest through someone else such as your broker. I would definitely learn as much I could about the financial markets. Not only could it help you make better decisions but also could help make sure that you choose the right brokers as well as or financial staff. Sadly not all brokers and advisors are really there to look out for your best interest. They already make commision and will make money off of you whether you do good or bad.
There are many wonderful sites out there to start learning. Some of my favorites are www.investopedia.com and www.gurufocus.com
I am only 24 and have been investing for quite a few years now on my own so if you have any questions just ask be and I am more then willing to help in anyway I can.
Best of luck to you! |

You should always start by learning how to invest. since you are still new, pick a very good company and hold them for long term. you can start to trade stock if you have surplus.
Pick stock that consistently perform 10-20% earnings growth as well as return on equity. this stock offer good return to shareholders (dividend and capital appreciation) in the long run.
GoodLuck!

Contact a financial advisor and talk about what your goals are. Being 20, you probably don't have a ton to invest, but you've got to start somewhere.
Remember, you are in this for the LONG term (more than a year or two). You can afford to be aggressive, but not stupid. Invest with some sort of discipline, meaning (if you choose a mutual fund, say) invest a set amount at a set interval (like $50.00 per paycheck). Don't try and time the market, meaning don't try to guess when you think it would be the best time to buy.
And, when you get a job that offers a 401(k), max it out from day one. You'll never miss the money, and it adds up quicker than you think. |

You've got some really great tips posted by users! I would add to read some investment books just to give you a general idea of what the investment world is about and how to formulate your objectives for the future. I warn you against just finding any financial advisor since many of them have hidden agendas... so make sure you ask them the right questions... which a good investment book can help you define. |

It all depends on what type of money you have and what your risk profile is like. Your question is kind of vague.
Your young so it's a good idea to get started young, but it really depends on what your goals are and how much money you have. Assuming you have 5K in the bank I'd recommend opening an account at a discount brokerage and buying some index fund type stocks. Being young I'd lean more towards value and growth type funds.
If you have upwards of 20k you could think about a combination of real estate and stocks. The real estate market is great for investing right now with the past pull back in prices. Not that you need that much to get into a house, but I've bought and sold a number of house and it's a important to have a cash reserve with any real estate purchase.
Either way start of small, if you don't have any experience read some books and experiment a little to get your feet wet. |
