What can I invest in?
I dont have much money, maybe two grand but in a couple years once i finish college I want to backpack around the world for a year which costs about 20,000. So I want to invest my money into something now. Plus I have a job where I make about a grand a month so I will be investing more soon. I want to invest about 5 grand total, but I want to invest the 2 grand by the end of this month. Thanks.

Well, the first answer, I would disagree with because here is actual return in 2yrs. Lets say for example you saved up $5K. If you put it in a CD/Money Market or Savings. Your going to get a return of 2.5-4%. So here is the calculation assuming a 4% return: $5k X .04%= $200 per year. Now if you think a measly $200 per year was a good return then I guess we can agree to disagree. Yes, it was the safe bet, but my thought is why invest in something with 2-4% return a year???

Here are my suggestions: If you looking for 6month-1yr return APPLE or GOOGLE stock is a sure bet, Current pricing is $125 per share for APPL and $471 for GOOG. Apple stock will go up to at near $200 again and GOOG will go to at least 600-700 per share. You will have to pay a capital gains tax, but here is the math. Lets say you invest $5K/125 per share = 40 shares. If you sold off the shares at 200 per share you would have earned an additional $3,000 dollars. (all assuming APPLE stock is going up)

But if you want to earn your $200 per year, then invest in CD/Money Market or Savings. If you need more information let me know, thanks.

ps. More more safer stock bets: buy Bershire Hathaway or Chubb Stock.

I'm in college as well, currently I have my money in a money market fund. . . Its generating 2.5% (not alot but still helpful).
Its probably the safest bet for right now (because you wont have to worry about losing any money).
As a college student, being careful and learning how to spend and invest wisely is a +. Find a savings account with a nice interest rate and shoot for it!

You might consider something like ETF's. They are basically a mutual fund, except they have an overall lower fee rate on average.

Another good investment is a DRIP Plan.

They are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.

The best part is you get to choose from the best Blue Chip International Corporations in the world. You can have Toyota, General Electric, Royal Canadian Bank or McDonalds in your portfolio. Although there is always risk in stocks, these Blue Chip giants offer far less risk than most.

They are inexpensive to start and maintain, and your dividends are reinvested for free.

They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They will allow you to sleep at night and not care about whether the market is going up or down.

Keep in mind that DRIP's are meant to be long-term. They implement the strategy of dollar cost averaging and dividend reinvestment.

Check them out closely before making a decision.

You're in college. Assuming you are not rich, then it is very likely that you will need the funds in the near future... the next 3 years.

Given that time constraint, I would avoid anything involving market fluctuation. In other words, avoid most risk.

So, I would look to CDs, money market account, etc. I might spend a few bucks on buying some good investment books so that when your out of school and generating more income, you'lll be ready to invest for the long term.
