icyblue1986 asked:


Just a General Oppinion Question. I’m a 19 year old college student, with a little bit of money that im looking to invest, via stocks, some sort of ipo, mutual fund something like that. I run into a problem with mutual funds due to the small amount that im looking to spend around 300-500$US. I have savings accounts and money market accounts, but these are to help pay for college, im looking to start to get into, some decently high risk investments with hopes of good returns within the next 3-5 years. Anyone who knows of good areas in which i could invest, and would be willing to explain, would be greatly apprieciated.

Ergonomia asked:


I’ve not got a lot of money. But I do have a bit of a 4 figure amount that doesn’t ever get touched toward the bottom of the savings account. Obviously this isn’t nearly enough to bother with a stock market or anything like that, but what are some good ways of at least clearing the interest rate I’m getting on my money in a savings account? I really don’t know ANYTHING about this sort of thing but it seems like a waste of time not to be bothering since it’s totally inert now… I’ve been suggested CD’s and Mutual Funds though I don’t know the difference really, I’d rather seem like an idiot here and then be smarter for the banker than be an idiot to someone in person ;)… uh… Any ideas or sites that make this simple to understand? Thanks a lot! (Hope to be more of a serious player with more capital someday heh)!

What is the next investment step with my personal finances?

August 27th, 2008
DLC asked:


I am 28 years old. I have no credit card debt. I have $18,000 in a high yield savings account (5%). I have $2100 in Mutual Funds (made 8% so far YTD). I have $10,500 in my 401K. I own a house in Texas that I currently rent out. The rent pays for the mortgage. I rent in California and cannot buy as I am here only for a short period of time. I save approximately $1500 to $2000 a month. Where should I put this money? More mutual funds, high yeild savings, 401K or other? Do I have too much money in the high yield savings account? I am willing to take an average amount of risk but nothing too risky. Need some financial guidance world…please help! I know I’m not doing too bad, but I know I could be on my way to financial freedom in the future with some right guidance. Thanks!

What are the Relative RISK Levels?

November 30th, 2006
Research asked:


Can you rate these Investment categories (lowest to highest risk?)
1. Savings Account & CD’s
2. Government Bonds
3. Corporate Bonds
4. REIT’s
5. Stock Exchange Index Funds
6. Mutual Funds
7. Stocks

I know that there are really bad examples in each category - but my question is “general” in nature.
