If you want to be involved in the stock market, open a Scottrade account with 500$, and if you want a hands-off approach purchase a broad based American ETF, I would reccomend Vanguard's Product that seeks to replicate the S&P 500, while having extrememly low costs. Also do a little research and get some global exposure because many think thats where most of the growth lies.

^^ thanks for the tip Big Rob.

I appreciate this post, thanks for making it a sticky Cam.
You lose, I win.
 
rosecitykid,

When you open the account at scottrade, open a ROTH IRA account if you want it to be for retirement...not just a regular margin account. That way when you retire you will not have to pay any capital gains tax.

ING's CD rates are nice! I have a CD now for $5000 and it's expiring 6/7/07. Should I just do another CD with a high interest rate? Or something else? I do have some other savings built up and don't really need this $5g.

Rosecitykid,

Read my comments regarding roth vs. traditional IRA, although you are probably in a low tax bracket right now, think about as you continue to add to your retirement as you age and (presumably) make more money. Weigh your options.

Big Rob

I know you probably know a lot more about this than me but Imma play devil's advocate...


ING? why?

Because you can get 5%+ returns without any kind of risk at all. Why would you do anything else to hold your money in the first place? I know about CD's but are there returns much higher than 5% in the first place? You would get the same and have access to it at all times. Please elaborate why a CD is much better?

Thanks homey

So I just graduated out of school. Minimal bills to pay. I'll be getting a job and hitting six figures. Plan on saving a lot and investing. A lot of good info in here, problem is I'm in Canada. We don't have some things likes IRAs. Any advice for your neighbor in the North?

mindstatements,

Im not sure where you find that ING is offering 5%+ yields on savings accounts. There website says they off a 4.5% VARIABLE rate on their standard savings accounts. If you could find an FDIC insured savings account with no fees or restrictions at a yield of 5%+ I would say go for it. However, ING's 4.5% current rate is variable, and it will go down, more likely than up. If their yields do indeed go up it will because 1) inflation or 2) an increase in yields on the lending side for all financial institutions. If 1 happens, then your real return will not increase, and if 2 happens then, in effect, as more people get financed for spending purposes, than for saving purposes, the overall effect of an increase in your yield will not be effective.

Bottom line, the 4.5% yield on ING savings accounts is great, and the variable rate can hurt or help you. But if you are really trying to make your money grown, and more importantly save it, it may not hurt to at least get in a cd, that you cannot be tempted to access, and also maybe pick up anouther 1% in yield.

I won a couple of grand last year on the lottery but I never filed taxes on it. Is this going to hurt me in the future with the IRS?

^ Yes, but if you're a novice, its not a good idea to "day trade." If you're going for the short term, its like gambling, so just watch out and research a little more about investing before you go into individual stocks.
