Is now a good time to invest? If so, how should I go about doing it?
I am 18 and would like to start saving/investing in my future, as I fear what the economy is going to be like by the time I finish college and am ready to get a job and find a home. I currently have an investment account left to me by my father currently worth about $22k and has been going up lately, over $2k since April. However, my parents are splitting the costs of college with me, so I will have to use that to pay for tuition this upcoming year.
Are sites like ShareBuilder.com a smart way to invest? Is it a good idea to invest when the economy is headed toward a recession?
Thanks!
