Thomas R
Young Investor to be.?
I'm 18 years old and looking to start investing a little. Don't have much money right now because I'm your typical broke college student. But does anyone have some tips on investing a little? Maybe telling me where to start so when I actually ready I have some knowledge. Anything would help.

Jim Cramer's books give a nice overview (dont take it word for word but good ideas to start training your mind)

and i'd def recommend taking a principles of investment class in college, gives you the academic view on how the market works and its fun

There is a contest, every academic year, open to students and professors, were the goal is to make the highest return on a fantasy portfolio of stocks and bonds. I believe Barrons runs this contest. At any rate, enter it durring your student years, it will be fun, doesn't cost anything, and will give you a chance to monitor what the other competitors are doing. Good luck.

Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.

Go to : low-cost-stock-recommendations

.com

They have a DRIP Section and it is free.

These powerful investment plans 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.

They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. They are a must for any serious investor.

I strongly recommend looking into it. They are great plans.


Mr. Money Questions?
Jasper is on point here. Also bank CD's tend to be a nice semi-short term investment, spanning from only few months to several years. Make sure however that you always get an interest rate above 6% to outpace inflation on all LONG term investments. Otherwise the value of your money that you invested will only go down! Pretty scary thought, even though the amount of the money eill increase in your account it will actually be worth less because the price of bread and other necessities will be increasing at a faster rate. Be careful, and start small to test the waters.

I am in the same boat as you. I am 19 and a sophomore at UConn. I am looking to invest too. Right now I have money in a money market account. It's better than leaving it in the bank because it earns around 4.5%. If I were you I'd find yourself and a broker and talk to him. The broker I have has given me some good advice and has recommended some stocks that would be good for me.

To start your financial life, read Dave Ramsey's book, Total Money Makeover, and live out of debt and within your means. Also, learn about mutual funds. Then to see the other side of the coin, read books by Jim Cramer, who hosts Mad Money on CNBC.
