If you have been researching this question for a while, surely you must have some idea of the risk you want to take in return for the possible reward. Right now is not the greatest time to jump into anything other than maybe a CD for a short term investment. Too much risk. I know that CDs are not paying squat but less than squat is better than a possible big time loss especially when you are talking short term. |

The short term is five years or less. The stock market is out. Thats a long term investment, ten years or more. Some of your choices would be CD's or money markets. Or short term bonds, which have less interest rate risk. |

Your first option, should be to open a retirement account. This is always a good investment, regardless
of who you are.
If you have fully funded your retirement account and would like other options, you should consider a DRIP Plan.
They are seldom recommended by brokers due to the low rate of commissions received. However, these
reinvestment plans can be very powerful long-term investments. Studies have shown that DRIP's are one of
the best strategies on Wall Street.
They are inexpensive and easy to start. New investors to the stock market should definitely consider a DRIP Plan.
Companies like Toyota, Royal Canadian Bank, Sony, Bank of America, General Electric and many other Blue Chip
Stocks can be purchased through your DRIP Plan, with as little as 1 share in most cases.
These long-term plans are great for beginners as well as veterans. Check them out.
Best of Luck |

That's right: $91 Trillion in derivatives, financed by 1 1/4 trillion dollars of investor assets. That's almost double the total global GDP (approx. $48 Trillion) for JP Morgan alone. Funny money. IOU's. Another $34 Trillion for CitiBank and $32 Trillion for Bank of America, each with $1 1/4 Trillion backing their bets.

As Paul Harvery would say, "And now for the rest of the story." These are very
interesting looking numbers. And very revealing. While it's true that existing
single family home sales were up 2.8% month to month-- they were down 22.9%
year to year. How does that old saw go? Figures don't lie; but liars figure?

A young investor should ALWAYS put $2,000 into the riskiest "genuine investment" available to them...which is common stocks; Why?, Because common stocks have returned 12-15% a year (on average) over ANY long-term period in recorded market history. If you put $2,000 in a shoe-box under your bed (and guard it well!) it will be worth $2,000 in 50 years. If you put it in an aggressive growth mutual fund (or an S&P500 tracking device like SPY) instead, you'll earn a minimum of 12%, so you'll have several MILLION dollars! |

Short term should mean that you will need to use the money in less than a year.
If that's you, put it in a CD. You will not make much. At 3%, your $2,000 will turn into $2,060 after 1 year. But at least you didn't lose anything.
General rules of thumb:
1. Need the money in less than 3 years - 100% CD's
2. Need the money in 4 to 7 years - 1/2 cd, 1/2 in stocks (diversified)
3. Need the money after 7 years - 80% diversified stocks, 20% cd's
Be honest with yourself about when you need the money. Many people say they don't need the money for 7 years and then end up withdrawing $$ 6 months later. |

You sound like me about five years ago. I was a teenager looking to invest in the market and now I'm a professional trader.
Let me give you the best piece of advice I was given when I was looking at the market. Educate yourself first BEFORE you go into the market.
You need to learn technical analysis before you trade at all. Let me recommend three of my favorite books that you should buy and read: "Mastering the Trade" by John Carter, "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques" by Steve Nison, and "How to Make Money in Stocks" by William O'Neill.
Read these books and learn what you're doing. The markets devour people who don't know what they're doing.
I started with $1500 five years ago and now I make more money each year than all my friends who have day jobs. It is possible to do, but learn everything you can about the markets first.
Good luck! Hope this helped.
