Doofuss has a good answer. I would add to #1 Learn all you can about investing. (good starter book "Investing for Dummies" by Eric Tyson). Is your niece "on her own," has a job, apt.? Or student, living at home etc. If on her own, does she have an emergency fund in case she loses her job? The emergency fund should equal the estimated time it takes to find a new job and replace that income. After establishing the emergency fund, she is ready to save/invest. What is the goal for the money? Retirement 40+ years from now? Or buying a house, car, getting married, having kids etc less than 10 years from now. Realize that if she invested in mutual funds in Feb. 2000, just 7 years ago, the S&P 500 stock index was at 1527.46. Now it is still under that at about 1450. As Doofuss said: you could lose money, so don't sell as it will go up, but it may take a long time.
CDs, high yield savings bank accounts (see: www.bankrate.com) may be right for your niece. You did not give us enough information. |

I suggest to invest in a fund like Fidelity. Low risk with good return. |

Good for her for wanting to start saving early. Look into index funds through Fidelity of Vanguard. |

Select a no-load mutual fund. She can select from: long term growth, current income, Christian Values, Green Earth, Morally Responsible, Catholic Values, etc. Just google (or yahoo) the above terms with the words stock fund.
While I like individual stocks (from discount stock brokers, listed below) [ as I can decide for myself how much I value each company's actions in the above areas ] they are not for people that don't want to take the time & effort to follow a company's every action. |

The best plan is
1) To learn all she can about the stock market and mutual funds
2) To Invest in high quality "No-Load" mutual funds and high quality stocks.
3) To diversify.
4) To be patient and disciplined.
5) To avoid selling if the investments go down. They'll go up again.
6) find good stocks that have "DRIPS" ( Dividend Reinvestment Plans) You will get a Compounding benefit.
A word of caution: Do not invest in a mutual fund right before it declares a dividend. Reason: The net asset value per share will drop according to the amount of the dividend. You will pay taxes on the dividend. and the value of your investment will be lower by the amount of the dividend per share that they paid out.
That dividend is not "Working" for you or for the fund any more.Let all of the net asset value work for you for the full period between dividends. |

If you are ready to face the risk it is better to invest in shares mutual funds etc.Higher the risk higher the profit. Risk diversification is main advantage of mutual funds. |
