There are several low-cost, quality investment products out there, but, if you're wanting to limit the amount to $50, your best choice is probably a U.S. Savings Bond. For $50 you can go to your bank and purchase a $100 Series EE Savings Bond. The interest earned is not the greatest, but there are numerous advantages that make U.S. Savings Bonds a good first investment: (a) backed by the U.S. government, these are the safest investments you can make; (b) they are guaranteed to at least double your investment within 20 years - which is called maturity; (c) and the interest earned is tax-free for up to 30 years. So, if we are talking about $50, that's my recommendation.
Now, I know at 17 years of age it's a little late to begin saving for higher education, but you could open a College 529 plan through Fidelity Investments for as little as $45 with minimum monthly investments of $15.
If you wanted to save up a little more cash, you could invest in the Hodges Fund (HDPMX) for $250. The five-year average annual total return for this fund is over 24%. Unlike savings bonds, though, this is a mutual fund that buys stock in small companies in hopes they will do very well - which means you could lose money if they don't.
But like I said, I would go with a savings bond. You could put the money into an online savings account that earns interest similar to the bond, but I think that if you're wanting to teach your teen something about investing, there is something very satisfying about being able to hold a crisp, brand-new U.S. Savings Bond in your hands. I remember receiving my first bond, being fascinated by it, and feeling compelled to buy more of my own as soon as I could.
Anyway. I hope this helps, and I hope that $50 grows into something much, much more. |

You could do well with $50.
You could invest in companies who are proffesionals in investment sector, then they pay you back the agreed RIO. I have used companies like Carribean Softwares(http://a3union.com/?id=800011551), and they have never failed me once since 2003.
You could contact me if you want more about investments, just make sure your subject is "INVESTMENT TIPS" |

The first question you need to ask yourself, and your 17 year old will agree, is whether or not you are personally saving enough for yourself. If you are then go ahead and help your 17 year old.
Next, what is it for. If you want to start saving for your child's retirement, a roth ira would be the best tax advantaged way to go. A good place to start would be T Rowe Price. If you agree to invest 50 a month you could start an account. Go with a stock fund. For actively managed funds they have pretty low management fee's and have many funds that have beat thier index over the past 10 years. Compare to the s & p. I'm not going to suggest a fund, do some research, it will be good for you.
If you want something that's liquid and don't mind some risk. stick with either an index fund- the s&p wouldn't be a bad start. Few actively managed funds outperform the index, after you factor in taxes, it's not worth it.
If you want something safe and liquid ask you local bank if they have any indexed cd's or look at online savings accounts.
Hope that helps. |

An online savings account that doesn't require a minimum balance. Their interest rates are usually much higher than the bricks and mortar banks. |

An online Orange Savings Account is good and has a high interest rate which is also good. Just make sure that a little bit of money gets put into it from time to time. If you just let the $50 sit there, Orange will eventually close the account and send the money back to you thinking you forgot all about it. But if you have a couple bucks transferred to the savings account on a regular basis, you will be off to a good start on a savings account. If he happens to get a big check for his birthday, he should put it in his savings account and let it build interest.
Show him the math of how fast that money will multiply at that high of an interest rate, and he will be more likely to save. |

If it's just $50 open up a money market or online savings account for him/her. HSBC Direct or ING have some of the most competetive rates. Eventually he/she can save up and open up a good growth stock mutual fund that you or your child can contribute to each month. You can research different funds but many of them require $1000 - $2500 to open a mutual fund account. |
