A good choice for Investment?


I am a high school student, looking to start an investment in one company or another. I have about $100 to invest and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a new investor. (I have no experience whatsoever) If you know of any Companies with lots of potential, or any websites that offer help, it would be great if you could help me out. Thanks!

$100 is really not enough to invest into a company. If that stock takes a minor point dip, you loose.

Take that $100 and bank it and add to it steadily, $20 a week. When you have $500 you should invest it into a CD at a bank. Shop for the highest % and bank it. Keep saving though...the more you save the more you have to invest. When you are 21, buy a house. This is the BEST investment next to an education that you can get.

My advice depends on your particular situation. Can you afford to lose the $100.00?
Are you getting a $100.00 on a regular basis? If the answer is yes to BOTH of these questions, then my advice is to use other people鈥檚 money to make money and use your $100 as collateral. Therefore, invest in instruments that allow you to use leverage. In particular, stock options offer a limited risk and unlimited rewards. If your investment choice goes bad, you will only use the $100.00 or so. If you鈥檙e investment make money, then, the proceeds are invested more conservatively and the $100 is reinvested aggressively again. I recommend you to read a book by Joel Greenblatt before you start investing 鈥測ou can be a stock market genius鈥︹€?br> Good luck

$100 is not really enough, but it will do. Just open a Sharebuilder.com account and it only costs about $4 for auto investment. Use the auto investment for only 1 time. Pick a stock like Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Intel, etc.

I got some of those info from this blog, http://chi-style.blogspot.com/

Have fun investing!

If you are learning about the market, and looking for good investment ideas, I think the best thing to do is see what the best traders are buying and selling and why. You can find this information at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.
