It this is money that you won't need for several months, you get better rates on CDs. On the other hand if you're going to need the money within a few months, either find a savings accout or money market fund or buy a very short-term CD. Rates on savings accounts are terrible at most brick-&-mortar banks but online banks pay very good rates by comparison. One example: INGDirect pays 4% on a checking account, 4.5% on savings, and 5.15% on a 9-mo. CD. Look around and you may be able to do even better.

First you need to put aside enough to live on for 3-6 months in case you cannot work for some reason. This is your savings "cushion". Once you've built up that pot, then you can start saving for longer term goals. When you get to that point, you'll want diversify your investments and become more aggressive, dividing your nest egg into equities (stocks & mutual funds) and bonds or bond funds. How you divide this up will depend on your tolerance for risk and your age; younger people have a longer time to recover from market downturns while older people need more of their $$ in investments that will compensate for downturns in the stock market. At least that is one version of conventional wisdom.
Anyhow, congrats to you for saving instead of spending it all. Unfortunately I waited until I was in my 30s before I got serious about putting something aside. |

I've tossed in a quick and dirty guide to getting started in the stock market below. Over the long haul stocks do better than bonds or cds, though they are more volatile. If you need the money in the very near term (ie you want to buy a house in the next few years) I'd go with bonds or cds. However if you want to accumulate wealth over the long term, go with stocks.
You should also be able to find lots of good information at a library or bookstore, or at investopedia.com or morningstar.com. Good luck.
Getting started in the stock market is actually very easy.
1) Open a brokerage account.
Check out a broker called Zecco (www.zecco.com). The company doesn’t charge a fee to buy or sell stock, doesn’t have a minimum balance, and won’t charge you a fee just for having an account open. Tradeking (www.tradeking.com) and Scottrade (www.scottrade.com) are other options.
2) Buy shares in an exchange traded fund. These are basically mutual funds that trade on the stock market, effectively allowing you to own a little stock in a large number of companies with a single trade. Two prominent examples are the iShares fund (IVV) and the SPDR fund (SPY) both of which hold all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 (a listing of the main US stocks). Both funds have very low costs and should track the performance of the stock market closely.
3) Sit back, relax and do nothing. The stock market averages a 10-12% return over long periods of time. Over 30 years an investment growing at 12% a year will increase 30 times (ie a $1,000 investment will be worth just under $30,000). Just keep adding more cash to your account whenever you can and don’t panic if the market drops a bit.
You can also look into buying individual stocks, but either of these funds will make a great core holding. |

I have a free downloadable book for beginners at http://www.invest-for-retirement.com . Although it is geared towards retirement, you will pick up general investing information. Section 2 goes through the anatomy of investing and will explains bonds, stocks, and mutual funds in a way that you can understand.
There is a free website called http://www.investopedia.com that has all sorts of useful info. I would spend hours there when I was a beginner.
For an easy read, Eric Tyson's "Mutual Funds for Dummies" is an excellent book.
When you learn about investing, you will want to focus on these aspects:
- Asset allocation and rebalancing your portfolio.
- Costs. What is a load and 12b-1 fee, and why should you never pay these fees?
- The concept of Reversion to the Mean.
- Why past performance cannot predict future performance.
- What is the "Efficient Market Hypothesis" and what are its implications to the average investor.
- What are index mutual funds and why do they usually beat most actively-managed mutual funds over a long period of time? |

SILVER (not stocks, actual physical silver in your hands). I'm sorry, but the only way to secure small amounts of money from inflation, with a fair gain that realistically outperform 5% CD, risky stocks...etc.
However, you are young, so it's good enough you're willing to consider saving and investing, so do some homework and be careful. |

At your age, I recommend you both look into Roth IRAs, but don't put ALL your money into one -- you'll also want to start an emergency fund in a high-interest savings account (like the one available from ING.)
The beauty of a Roth IRA is that you'll pay taxes on the money NOW (when I assume you have little income and, in fact, you may end up not having to pay taxes on them at all for any given year if your income is low enough.) When you're ready to retire and take the money out, you won't owe taxes on it. In fact, if you run some scenarios on some of the online calculators (I recommend the ones on Bankrate.com), I think you'll find that you can retire quite nicely in that scenario if you leave those early investments undisturbed.
Incidentally, if you decide to open the Roth IRA, you can open one on ING for as little as $25 down (with an agreement to do automatic deposit of $25/month.)
In fact, if you started the Roth IRA with just $25 and you invest $25/month (assuming the average annual interest rate compounded monthly is 5.5%) you'd end up with $79723.12 in 50 years -- TAX FREE. Imagine what you could do if you started increasing your monthly investments!
Keep in mind, though, that the Roth IRA is designed to be used for retirement purposes, so there may be penalties if you take your money out before the age limit. This is why I also recommended starting an emergency fund that's more accessible. |

If you are looking for long term, get into cd's. As for stocks, anything in the medical field will give you a big gain. Do some research though into the companies that make drugs, you can find things that will be big, like pfitzer and viagra, my dad pulled his stocks before it came on the market, lost over $100,000 if he would have just stayed in. Federal bonds are great, big investment boost, $5 for $50 in 50 years. When you look at it like that, when you are in your 60's you will have money, tax free (which is always the best), that is the best guarantee you will have for any investments you make. Take your $1,500 and in 50 years you will have $75,000, not to shabby if you ask me. There are some short term bonds, but not such a high return rate. Well I hope this helps. Be wise with your money and check with a reputable investment agent, ask around your local church, bank (careful some banks will say they are the best), and elderly family members (they have the best advice than your parents). God Bless, I pray that you will continue to be wise in your life choices. |
