A Roth IRA is the best way to start because you do not have to pay income tax on the interest / dividends you earn. Your roth can be set up using mutual funds or stocks if you prefer.
And you can pull out your investment for emergencies without being penalized (taxes) just as long as you don't touch the interest. |

Why not do both. An IRA is simply a form of ownership. It can consist of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. If you're young, why not go to Vangard and invest in their low fee S & P index fund. They have paperwork where you can buy it in an IRA |

Hi there, I'm young too and investing. I started off with stocks first but you can also get an IRA (traditional) as well. It has pretty good tax benefits (if you are old enough to pay taxes). Try this website. It's good for if you are just starting out.

I would open a Roth IRA and contribute every year. As for good long term investment ideas, I would look to international stocks either in mutual fund or ETF (I prefer ETFs). If you open your Roth with a discount broker like TD Ameritrade, Scottrade, Fidelity or Schwab, you can buy ETFs in your brokerage account. A good reference source for ETFs is www.etfconnect.com. Good luck! |

If you have a job, get a Roth IRA mutual fund. You are putting in money that has already been taxed, so it won't be taxed when you take it out. It's not liquid, and you can't withdrawal until you are 59 1/2 unless it's for your first house, education expenses, or financial hardships. So it's a great retirement vehicle. |

Read investopedia.com or fool.com about their retirement and investing advice. It's pretty good stuff. |

An IRA....Theres a few options too, look into what's best for you and what you need the investment to produce.
Save the stock investments for once you're more stabilized financially and can "play the field".
Good luck, I started an IRA when I was 21 and Im enjoying the benefits of my early thinking. |

First, you can invest in stocks within an IRA. An IRA is a type of investment account. Stocks are a type of investment.
Mutual funds are probably best for you (and most people). When I say Mutual funds I also mean ETFs. They allow you to diversify which will help minimize risk.
The younger you are the more benefit you can get from an IRA which will allow you to invest tax deffered until your retire. Or a Roth IRA, which will let you have tax free distributions when you retire.
Individual stocks are far riskier, however, if you have enough money to diversify enough, you may want to consider stocks, but that is a decision only you can make. |

Nobody can PROPERLY answer this question until you provide more information. What are your goals (time horizon) for this money?
PS: You can take out your contrubitions from a ROTH IRA at anytime. You can't take out your earnings under 59 1/2 years old, except for the special reasions mentioned by another responder. |

I guess you are working. Did you max out your 401K contribution? This is the first thing you should do. Then you put the money in the traditional IRA or Roth IRA, that depends on your income. Stocks is always good, only if you know what you are doing. If you have no investment experience, try the mutual funds first. You can do dollar cost-averaging by investing monthly. I myself like T.R. Price, you can try Vanguard & Fidelity. There are more other fund families, you need to do more research. Since you are young, go for international funds that give you better, but riskier return. |

all of the above.
They are not mutually exclusive.
Start regular contributions to an IRA, you'll get immediate tax benefits plus build a retirement nest egg that will continue to grow. Buying stocks, mutual funds, real estate, and other investments should be part of your overall portfolio that you will grow and diversify overtime. |
