First and foremost you will want to do your research and make sure you understand what you're getting yourself into!
If you are a minor (which you may be since you say you're in school) local restrictions may prohibit you from having an account on your own and you will need a parent/guardian to set up what is called a Uniform Gift to Minors Account (UGMA) or depending on where you live a Uniform Transfers to Minors Account (UTMA).
You may want to review some of the stock blogs and message boards and see what some seasoned investors are recommending and why they are recommending them. One of the finest boards I've found which offers a wealth of investor knowledge is http://www.fingad.com - here you can participate in reviews of stocks/bonds/mutual funds and you have the opportunity to review foreign markets as well.
Do make sure that you understand the risks that you will be taking when investing your funds.
Congratulations on making a decision to save and invest wisely. |

One of the best, if not the best investment plans for small investors are, DRIP Plans.
It doesnt cost much to get started and are inexpensive.
You won't hear a financial advisor or broker tell you about these plans, because they don't make very much commission off of them.
However, they are powerful long-term strategies.
Check them out sometime
PS If you decide on Mutual Funds, do your homework, as about 75% of them underperform the market, all have management fees, and some have sales loads. |

If you want a quick return on your money then trading in cfd,s is the way to go.
You dont actually buy shares as such but buy a contract on the assets.
You then earn or lose money on the opening and closing price of the asset.
Many people have got rich very quick from cfd's but there is also the risk of losing money quickly.
Finding a broker will help as they can advice you on stops that sell when the
asset falls below a certain amount you can afford to lose.

Hi
If you are thinking of investing , my suggestion is you should learn the basics and risks of investing in stock market .I suggest you to buy into stocks every month in same stock for equal amount of money divided over the year.This will average out your cost price.You will not lose no matter which way market goes , unless the company goes bankrupt.
Or you can invest in mutual funds. Conact me for reference to financial advisor to guide you for brst investments. |

I agree with the person who suggested mutual funds.
First: How much 'risk' can you tolerate. If you won't accept the fact that it could go down (and possibly stay down for a while), stocks (either individual or a fund comprised of several) isn't for you (and a balanced fund that mixes bonds in might not be for you, either. Though a mutual fund lessens the risk since it is naturally 'diversifyed'. (Diversification is important. Putting all your money in Mickey D's stock won't do you any good if a bunch of people get ecoli from a bunch of bad Big Macs).
Vanguard DOES have a fund (called the STAR fund) that has a $1,000 minimum. It's a mix of stocks & bonds (about 65-35 IIRC). But definitely read up on it before taking the plunge. |

you should be a major and law should allow you to enter into contracts.
I don't advice start investing below the age of 25 - Upto 25 years start learning - or do part-time job with an investor/stock brokers and get to know inside stories - then star investing after 25 years of age
best of luck |

It's difficult to diversify with $1k unless you use mutual funds or ETFs. With limited knowledge of the markets your best bet is to read up on asset allocation. $1k is probably too little to start because a lot of funds have minimums, but if you are able to invest small amounts then I suggest a 7 asset portfolio consisting of large and small cap domestic funds, an international fund, a commodity fund, a bond fund, a REIT fund, and possibly a global tech fund. As you learn you may feel better about doing your own research. |
