Guest Mole Report post Posted April 21, 2003 When my Mom died, my Pops and I got a lot of money. My Pops said that I could invest $2,000, but he won't give me the money until I find a good way to invest it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest stardust Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Look into putting it into an IRA. They have decent interest rates, most of the time you can't touch them for a certain amount of time, and if you go to college, you don't have to report them on the FAFSA, so it doesn't hurt your financial aid eligibility.

Guest DrTom Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Invest it in me. I promise you'll get a return of at least $1000, making it a lot less riskier than the stock market. Seriously, talk to a broker. They can help you determine your goals with the investment, and find the best place to invest based on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Don't fuck with the stuck market. $2000 isn't too far off the minimum investment that a lot of mutual funds like Fidelity ask for, and with those, you'll be ensured decent, safe returns every year without the risk of the stock market.

Guest swan Report post Posted April 21, 2003 First of all this is a bad place for investment advice. I received an insurance settlement 7 years ago and ended up investing $15,000 through Edward Jones. Because of them I was steered cleared of the dot com craze that killed most. I invest in Stocks, mutual funds, CD's, and a roth IRA on top of the 401K through work. My 15,000 is now worth somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000-35,000.(I also have money in my Roth URA and company's 401K, I don't want to work till I'm 60+) Was up around 45,000 before the stock market leveled off to a more realistic level. Anyways you are young so you can tolerate the high risk investments. I'd say check out a firm like Edward Jones. They will help you get started and help you invest according to your needs. Right now is a good time to jump in cause the market always shoots up after a war or conflict ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
