Congrats, this is a great idea for your age with a little extra money.
Here's my suggestions:
Do a search for Sharebuilder codes, find one where they will pay you $50 for opening an account. Open one, use the code, deposit the money. Boom, 20% gain on your money off the bat.
Now set up an automatic investment plan. This is the only way to get their very low cost $4 investments. The great thing about sharebuilder is they will allow you to buy small amounts of ETF's. For this amount of money I would highly recommend it. They have ratings right on the site. I would recommend choosing 2 or 3 highly rated funds in varying markets and set your plan up to purchase 1/3 of your account each. I personally have been buying up Asian and Brazilian funds, as well as Real Estate. These markets are booming and don't show many signs of slowing down, while the US is slowing. EWZ, EEM are 2 good ones. A good real estate is IYR.
Anyway a fund is going to instantly diversify your smaller amount of money. This means it's not pegged to any 1 company succeeding or failing, but spread across multiple investments managed by traders.
Good Luck. FYI, you can open multiple sharebuilder accounts with different codes each. They have deposited $50 each in 6 accounts now since January for me. Good way to double this small invesment. Just don't open them at the same time. Open 1, get the deposit, open the next, repeat. |

You have to be 18 to open a brokerage account in the US, but with the help of a parent they can open a custodian account for you
Before any one jumps in and tries to buy stock, they must first decide if they are going to be a trader or an investor. (A trader is very short term holder of a stock – 1 minute to 3 months, an investor is a 6 months and beyond holder).
Before you invest in any security, the first investment you should make is in yourself, and the best investment you can make is by educating yourself.
Start your education by learning why you should invest and the importance of being able to make your own decisions or how the pro’s make theirs.
Here is some reading material that can get you started in the right direction,

DO NOT let any one tell you not to invest, or you too young. Just make sure you know what you're doing, and why you're doing it. I started in grade school and before I graduated high school l was trading with great results. |

I would buy a share in companies your like. For example, like Coke-A-Cola (KO) or Abrcombie (ANF). Just by 1 share of each. You won't make a huge profit but it's a good start. |

I would find a high yield savings account (watch out for minimum balances). Your money is still liquid and you can withdraw from your account and deposit too.
Also look into CD's (Certificates of Deposit). Your money is locked in for a certain amount of time, and if you break it then there is a penalty.
With 250 its not like you are going to be making tons of money.
It'll take a 5,000 dollar CD to make about 16 bucks a month depending on the rate. Maybe that will put things into perspective.
Oh and also, messing with stocks with get you broker fees and still 250 is nothing pretty much. Maybe talk to your parents about getting in on their stocks and give them your money if they have any.
Good Luck! |

I half way agree with Pamela. Gas companies are good, banks -- still may have lots of bad news ahead.
There are some very good recession proof international intergrated oil companies, electric and natural gas utilities that have a $250 minimum investment to join their dividend reinvestment plan. And you can buy your first shares directly from the company (or their transfer agent, that's why some phone numbers are the same) without paying a middleman broker. Some good ones, with phone #'s are:
AGL Resources (ATG) 800-633-4236
Chevron Corp. (CVX) 800-842-7629
ConocoPhillips (COP) 800-842-7629
Duke Energy (DUK) 800-488-3853
Energen Corp. (EGN) 888-764-5603
MDU Resources (MDU) 800-813-3324
ONEOK (OKE) 866-235-0232
Piedmont Natural Gas (PNY) 800-937-5449 |

I say go with a stock that is recession-free. Like a bank, gas company etc... People will always need to use a bank and gas. You wont lose your money on those stocks that go crazy high, then go low the next week.
I suggest the book "the lazy investor" by derek foster. I read it and its amazing. Easy to read. For people like you and me that dont know too much about the stock market |
