You should invest in stocks, bonds, and money market funds. You want to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks, as individual stocks are too risky. For most folks this means buying mutual funds. I like Vanguard.com, other people like Fidelity, TIAA-CREF, and DFA. Buy no-load, low cost funds. If you are like most people you will invest part of your money aggressively in stock funds, and part conservatively in money market funds and bond funds. Vanguard.com has an on-line questionnaire which will give you an idea how aggressive you want to be.
If your company offers a 401K plan at work, try to invest the most you can. The money grows tax free, and some companies will match your contribution. Investing in a mutual fund IRA is also a good idea.
I like index funds. Because of their broad diversification, you are less likely to have a dramatic drop in value. They also have the lowest expenses. For stock funds, I would suggest putting ~70-80% of your money in the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund. and ~20-30% in a foreign stock index fund. However, there are many different opinions out there on what the best mutual funds are. Read the links below and form your own opinion.
If you have high-interest debt, like credit cards, it is best to pay this off first before trying most of the investment ideas above. You should also have 3-6 months of salary saved up as an emergency fund in a bank or money market fund before trying more risky investments.
Believing advice you get on Yahoo answers can be risky, so read these websites for further information. If you find it too confusing, contact a professional financial advisor. They will charge you significant commissions, however.

Baza's got it right. But I'll go a little further there isn't one perfect stragety. Dagen Mcdowell on Fox News has won the last two years of the cashing in challenge by buying ad holding mutual funds. The CNBC challenge is more for day traders but tha ones on top are getting the trivia answers right EVERY DAY. Some likes penny stock (I don't) others uses scams like swiss cash saying you can make 300% or more on your investments (or whatever). a Lot would say buy low and sell high well you can now short the market in which you want to buy high and sell low. Others make their money on Foreign Currency (Forex) legit but way too risky for me other uses optios (another risky and non praticed venture) a lot of people uses stocks. I make my money on ETF's and letting market seniment dictate whee to pull out. for links just go to a lot of investemnt pages and read. If you want to try a no risk area then I suggest Marketocracy.com where you can test your theories. Good Luck. |

Two of the world's most successful stock market investors are Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch. Also John Bogle who started Vanguard has also done rather well. All 3 have either written books or have books about them and their methods. Go to any bookstore or good library, their methods may work for you also. |

When in doubt pull it out. |

Invest in Green stocks that help the environment.
I guess the guy saying don't invest in Green knows more than billionaires. Maybe he's richer than Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Buffet ..yeh right. What a tool and he can't even spell " making" right. He knows how the idea of quote,"MAKLING", unquote, what ever that is.
Bill Gates, John Doerr and Steve Case believed in the Internet long before Wall Street did. Now, they're betting on the next great "disruptive" technology: alternative fuels and other environmentally friendly products, but this time other investors aren't far behind.
Paul Allen is financing a Seattle company that is trying to turn canola oil into diesel fuel.
Greentech could be the largest economic opportunity of the 21st century," Doerr said in a February press release announcing that Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the investment fund that helped underwrite many prominent tech start-ups, would raise $100 million for the green technology fund.
In addition to Case, Gates and Doerr, Sun Microsystems Inc. chief executive Scott McNealy last fall played a prominent role in a Business Roundtable task force on sustainable growth strategies. |

Dont Buy:
Green Stocks? What an idiot. First, don't ever confuse making money with your political views. It is ok not to pick a company that violates your moral values, but only because a smart investor can beat that company's performance anyway.
New (for my green loving friend):
GreenTech (GTEI.OB) is french, speculative, venture capital currently trading at 55 cents. And I think trading is a strong word here. But lets look at the financial ratios ... wait they don't even exist yet. Perhaps that is becaus this company has ZERO sales income. Should we invest in the tooth fairy, too? And as to Gates, lots of billionaires give away there money because it helps them sleep better at night.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GTEI.OB
Buy:
Second, P/E value should be above 20 and less than 200. That value line I always hear about low P/E ratios is the best way to pick a company in financial trouble. The market is always willing to pay a premium for a great buy. The PEG value should be below 0.5.
When to buy:
Find a 3 month market track that is improving by at least 40%, but has just dropped in the last 10 days. Next check the stochastics indicator (slow moving). Ensure the lines have just crossed at the low point and are at the oversold position. Learn the MACD trend and line up these buy and sell points. Only buy and sell when all these factors line up.
Lastly:
Watch insider trading. Don't buy when insiders are selling and vice versa.
But what do I know, I have only earned 37% in the last year.
LOL, have fun. |
