Please help on Investing?
im 18 years old. I have a bad heart problem, which is causing me to go on disability. I just graduated high school. I love and want to invest in the future, its my passion. But i cant go to a regular college because of my heart problem, so i was thinking about taking online courses, I do have a college fund with 25k in it, to help me educate myself on investing, even though i been reading books and researching. I live with My mom and she pays the bills. I want to be a day trader, i love the movement and how the stock market works. I have 10,000 to invest and possibly half of my disability check each month. In the future, i want to move out and have my own house. I don't think a 401k is good considering im going to be on disability,but i do want to invest in other things like stocks, bonds, etf's, mutual funds etc..

read up on asset allocation and diversification, your portfolio distribution should reflect your tolerance to risk

taking on greater risk will open up access to greater rewards but also to greater losses

for a recent high school graduate with heart problems, I would stay conservative, sticking to GICs, bonds, and mutual funds.

you can get some safe stocks as well but consider the volatility as well as the brokerage fees involved.

maybe try a 70-30 distribution approach for your portfolio

good luck and be sure to get coca-cola (NYSE:KO)

Do some reading, but also watch CNBC and other business news daily. I like Fast Money (5 pm ET) and Mad Money (6 pm ET) on CNBC. Watch these and you'll start to get a feel for different trading strategies and philosophies. Don't just watch them for the "tips" on what to buy - try to learn what goes into making a buy or sell decision. When you feel comfortable, start investing in stocks. I would stay away from options for now, but if you want to try some mutual funds as longer term investments you should do those as well.

I once asked a friend of mine who was a long term veteran stock broker what portion of short term traders lost money. He said 100%, that's right, all of his short term trading investors regularly lost money. They would sometimes make money but over time would lose more than they made. The stock market is a wonderful long term growth vehicle but trying to day trade is just about as likely to make you money as a roulette wheel. Sorry to be discouraging, but if you educate yourself about longer term investing and follow the economy and the markets, over time you are likely to do well. Some of the most successful investing programs involve first establishing an asset allocation model. Then identify the strongest and most reliable investments for each category. Then put the money to work, monitor it no more frequently than monthly (unless you are using individual stocks which require daily monitoring). 90% of investment returns are determined by the asset allocation choices and 10% by the individual choices made within the category. You will need to be regularly involved with what is going on in the US and in the global economy in order to make good decisions. WSJ.com, and Bloomberg are a few good choices. But keep in mind that most of what you read and think is news is already reflected in the stock prices by professionals moving ahead of you. I would like to wish you good luck, but it really isn't about luck as much as about learning and gaining experience.
