Money to invest ....?

If you had $350 a month to invest what would you invest in?

$350 a month is a great amount to start with. Heck i started two years ago dripping Exxon mobil at $50, Aqua america at $50 a month for a whopping $100 per month. You can buy them direct, without a broker, from http://www.equiserve.com/

95% of the people in the US can't afford $350 a month.

Before you invest:
1 Pay Off all credit cards and debts (not your mortgage)
2 put at least 3 months (better would be 6 months) net wages in to a high interest savings account like www.emigrantdirect.com at 5.05% currently

then investing your $350 a month:

I would go for a fund likeVTI Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund that emulates the total stock market with no load(fees) maybe $200 in to it

Then a little more risk and more return in something like EFA iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund, it's a europe-asia index find. $150 in to that.

There are lots of options just watch the load on the funds, you are already taking a $4 or $8 hit every month.

I'd do it through an online discount site like share builder, www.sharebuilder.com investing in two funds like this will cost $4 per investment per month so $8 bucks on top of your $350 if you do both or only $4 if you alternate between each, each month.

Honestly, $350 is too little to invest. You can invest in stocks that trade below $5/share, but with $350 you do not have much flexibility.

I would go to ( bobbrinker.com ) and find a radio station in your area carrying his Money Talk Program and listen to people who invest all the time and learn from them. This program is a must for beginners.

Good Luck

I think it is great if you can get into a pattern of saving $350 every month. By the time retirement comes, or kids' college, you will have some good money set aside. If you invest $350 each month, then you probably want a mutual fund that does not charge any upfront fees. Scottrade offers a bunch of no-fee mutual funds that you can buy if you open an online trading account.

You could also just put your $350 in each month, and then when you have around $3000 saved up, then buy a stock. Before that, do a lot of research. Study a bunch of stocks until you find the one that is a great buy. Read "The Little Book that Beats the Market" to learn the principles of value investing.
