Im 21 and i wanted to know whats the best way to invest $20,000?

There is no specific answer to the "best way" without knowing your goals for the money, and life.

Is this college money, or retirement money? something else?

The answers are all different.

PM me if you want.

I'm SO surprised there aren't 48 spammers flocking to answer your question. Go to a recognized and reputable investment firm like Edward Jones or Fidelity. Ask them. Go out and buy "Investing for Dummies" and educate yourself. Don't fall for a new Mustang or a new boyfriend. Put the $$$ in a 3 month CD and sit on it till you know enough about what to do with it to make an educated decision. $20,000 is more than most folks over 40 have in their retirement account.

If you have a job, use this money for dawn-payment and buy a condo. Real estate is the best investment.


um.yeah.okay
there are millions of ways to make good investments, real estate is an excellent way to get a good return on investment. however, you have to do your homework, you could take that 20k and turn it into 50k in as little as 2 years almost tax free, if you buy right and sell right, i would recommend though that you put that 20k into a "risk free" investment vehicle( c.d. , high yield savings, ect.) and do your homework, read books and articles about investing, and pick whats right for you, what you could also do is find a mentor, someone you know, friend or family, thats good with money and investing and pick their brain for all its worth. good luck

Now that prices for homes are down, you might want to buy a house. In a few years it should be worth more than what you paid. OR you can put part of that into an ING account...over seas investing.

It depends on what the money is ear-marked for...if it's long term, open up an IRA and put the maximum $5,000 into it and invest in an aggressive mutual fund that is has a good track record and is well diversified. Take the other $15,000 and open a brokerage account and invest it in mutual funds as well. If you really want to get aggressive you can put a few thousand in individual stocks but just make sure they're good companies that you are putting your money into. Talk to a financial advisor. If you're in the Chicago area, send me an e-mail at ghilgy@yahoo.com. I am a series 6 and 63 lisenced banker. I can help figure out the best options for you.

If you can get in a partnership with people you trust, you could buy real estate. In real estate, typically you are risking only 20% of the capital, and the bank that lends to you is risking 80%. yet you (your group) has 100% of the upside. this is a good investment, if you have a long enough time horizon that you can weather the ups and downs of the market, and if you can get a lender based on historic good credit. The only reason that not "everyone" invests in real estate is there are other good diversifying asset classes (say you don't want to rely only on one house!) and that they don't have enough capital to tie up in a building.

right now....by a condo if you have enough.
we are close to the bottom, not at the bottom, but in five years you will start to build equity and you rent will be subsidized by the us government through tax breaks
