Well I have 5,000 dollars saved back right now it’s sitting in a money market savings account at the bank. I gain some interest… but nothing to impressive.

I want to get into the stock market, or buy some bonds, or invest it somehow… I just don’t know where to start at.

Where and how could I invest money, and have the best outcome, gain the most interest, and make the most money?

Please help, thanks

=)

  1. Buy PVX

    Its cheap and you'll see a 12% return in dividends.  The price is pretty stable so you can keep your $5000.00

    Make sure you do your homework or you will loose your money fast.

    I would also recomend an online broker so you don't pay the high fees accosiated with full service brokers. Fees will also eat up your money.  Brokers like to sell you products that benefit them fee wise.


  2. open a roth ira.

    research some mutual funds at http://www.morningstar.com that are in line with your investment objectives and risk tolerance.  then you can go go to the company's website, print off and mail in the new account forms, and you should be all set.

    just make suer the manager has a decent track record, and the fund has low expense ratios.

  3. I think you should start with the forex market. It's been profitable for me without having to do a bunch of analysis that I don't have time for.

  4. I´ve been investing for more than 20 years and trading for almost 14, and I can tell you that if you want to make BIG and FAST profits, I recommend you trading rather than investing, trading can help you to go from rags to rich.

    If you are investing, you must have already achieved some degree of financial success, long term stock investing and FOREX can help you become much richer than you are today.

    My experiences as a Nasdaq Market Maker, Head trader of several brokerage firms, and currently as a professional trader and private hedge fund manager, I can suggest you that:

    We trade because we want quick, short term profits on a consistent basis. We want to cash flow the market. Milk it like a cow.

    Make consistent, small, short term gains rather than trying to hit a home run on every trade. Don't ever forget that.

    Don't marry a stock, marry the idea of making money trading stocks. That's the only way to do it.

    For me "All stocks are equally worthless”

    I don't hold on to any illusion that the stock market will continue to go up and provide a nice retirement for me.

    I could care less which way the market goes. It's irrelevant to me if the market goes higher, crashes or moves sideways for the next 50 years. I really could care less. Stocks are just four letters with two prices next to them that I use to make a living trading.

    Trade ONLY when you have a clear, easy and identifiable advantage, because without a CLEAR EDGE your odds of success are NO better than a flip of a coin… That´s why so many new traders (and investors) lose money.

    Take a look at any daily chart of any index or stock and you'll probably see the most volatility and the biggest opportunity for profit during the first Hour of the stock market's opening.

    The popular thinking and conventional wisdom is that you should wait about an hour before you start trading.

    But if you do, you'll miss the big, fast moves that stocks make as all the amateurs let their emotions out through their

    online accounts, usually right after they read some news headline or hear Maria Bartiromo go off about a stock on CNBC.

    It's easy to see why trading the open is the market's prime time for profiting from other online traders.

    The market's open is very volatile - that is the perfect environment for LARGE, FAST profits.

    Learn to trade as a professional Market Maker ,not as an emotionally driven amateur trader or investor with few thousand dollars in an account at Etrade.

    There isn't any other time during the day or any stock you can invest in, that can make you 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 or more points

    in minutes OTHER than during the first hour the stock market is open. That's why I love trading the open so much.

    I trade only when I have an edge and that means "only the first hour the market is open".

    If you are a beginning trader, you can give yourself an unfair advantage in the market trading this way.

    I can carry on with the advises about how to make money trading, but if you ask me:

    "What is the best thing you can do for me?

    I will say:

    Give yourself a BIG favor and go to this "Top Secret" site and learn how to get the BEST stocks that will make the largest and fastest day trading profits you´ve ever seen, all by yourself...

    www.onehourtrading.com

    After you review this site you won´t need system, strategy, book, software or mentor to tell you what to do,

    you will be able to profit HUGE every day.

    Good luck and good trading,

  5. $5,000 you need in a bank D/A for emergencies. Beyond that, buy some top quality shares like GE and keep them for life. You will initially get dividends of about the same level as money market, but  they will keep increasing every year and soon leave money markets far behind.

  6. Trading is the best way to grow your money in the stock market.  Investing works well too but it takes a lot longer and investors are often hurt by bear markets.

    At least this is my view on the stock market.

  7. well im giving u a site where u can invest in Stock and share last year i made 30000+$ from 5000$ .

    Well u go to http://pisco.tk then go to investment coluns

    Good Luck

  8. ETFs are cheaper than mutual funds. ETFs have very low annual expenses, nearly 20 basis points or 0.2% less. As against this, actively managed mutual funds show average expenses exceeding 135 basis points (1.35%). This does not include the extra 2% - 5% as loads, 12(b)-1 marketing fees, transactions costs, and soft dollar expenses mutual funds, passed on to you but never informed, except in very fine print that nobody cares to read.

    ETFs have a lower turnover than most mutual funds. As ETFs do not require active management and hold nearly a steady stream of stocks, there is hardly any portfolio turnover. On the other hand, many actively managed mutual funds churn their portfolio many times throughout the year, leading to recurring transaction fees on every purchase and sale.
