Financial Advice for the Little One :]

I’m looking to buy some inexpensive shares from a stock that is prone to go up soon. (Aren’t we all :rolleyes: )

The reason it’s important that I find an inexpensive stock is because I’ll only be investing 200 dollars (shutup stop laughing). This will be a short-term investment - probably no more than 3-4 months.

If anyone knows of any stocks that will be good for the sort of investment I’m making, please let me know. Also, if anyone has any tips on how I can research this stuff on my own, please share. Thankyou.

Am not so sure but if i find out anything soon i will let you know Insha'ALLAH...

Re: Financial Advice for the Little One :]

With that sort of money you will be better off investing in a mutual fund instead of indiviual shares.

Re: Financial Advice for the Little One :]

Do I need to find someone to invest with if I want to do a mutual fund? Will I still be investing in stocks?

I'd really like to keep it simple and just buy few shares first. I'm investing through my Dad's account but all the money I make will be mine (and I'm still negotiating a reimbursement plan if I lose any money. =D)

Read this article first to understand what a mutual fund is before making any decisions to invest in them.

Go through the above article, especially the last paragraph. You can further research by googling for any info or news, going through that company's financial report and seeing what the senior management thinks about about the company's future growth, asking questions here or some other stocks related internet forum for things that you don't understand. That should be enough to help you decide if the company is worth your money.

ehsan Uncle - thanks for the suggestion, but after reading this, I highly doubt anyone will want a kid with her $200 in their mutual fund. =\

Re: Financial Advice for the Little One :]

You can invest in mutual fund. Don't be scared. Do some research, find a good fund and invest in it.

Re: Financial Advice for the Little One :]

Okay but…gosh I’m so darn sick of ‘researching’. Everyone keeps telling me to do ‘research’. My Dad made me ‘research’ the first few weeks before even letting me consider investing in a specific stock. :bummer:

I want money. Phast. :grumpy:

Re: Financial Advice for the Little One :]

Raid your dad’s bank account .

Re: Financial Advice for the Little One :]

I’ve been raiding his wallet for the past 5 years - so I guess that’s the same as raiding his bank account, indirectly. :hehe:

Hmm I have an idea. Maybe I should invest in a mutual fund with my Dad! :slight_smile:

Re: Financial Advice for the Little One :]

^ There are mutual funds where you can invest monthly. Set a limit as to how much you can afford monthly and invest in the fund.

I’m investing in an index, apparently. A branch of Nasdaq :confused:
Well, I’m not exactly sure how all this works, but my Dad said he’d help me out. I’m investing in a mutual fund with my Dad and one of his pals or something (thankyou ehsan Uncle, for the suggestion). It’s at around $45 now. Let’s see this baby triple in a few months now :devil:
