How should I invest a few hundred dollars?


Just starting off with "investing" and I don't know too much about it.. should I try mutual funds or bonds first? If not, then what? Thanks!

It depends on your situation. But, let's assume that you are a modestly conservative investor who can't afford to lose a lot of money. I would suggest getting into a good mutual fund and reinvest the proceeds. I like Vanguard funds for people like you because their expense ratios are VERY low. That way most of your money works for you. Best of luck.

buy some stock in Walmart.

Mutual funds start with an index fund from a no load company like Fidelity or Vanguard. You will need to have them take $50 a month from your bank account if you don't have enough to meet a minimum investment.
It is a great experience even if you lose a little you will learn something about your risk tolerance.

I know some from my uncle(billionaire), Im not so sure but I ask him how much money I need if I want to start involving in Stock..he said just only $5000 kid! ...

Look into divdend reinvestment plans. You can pick a stock or two, buy the minimum number of shares, perhaps only one share, and then put more money in and reinvest the dividends. Go to www.moneypaper.com or www.dripinvestor.com and learn how. You don't need to pay their fees to buy through them, you can buy through a cheap brokerage or sometimes from the company directly (like Exxon). Also, you can learn a lot by joining an investment club. Go to www.better-investing.org to learn more. Good luck!

I'd buy Bob Kiyosakis boardgame called "Cashflow 101" yeah thats what Id do.
