Need help with investing?


I have $17,000 i want to invest $10,000 of it for me for a time period of 5-10 years. I want to invest $1000 for my 2 year old and $2000 for my 9 year old for college. I want maxium return on all investments

Put 10k in two good stocks
put 2k and 1k in mutualfunds.

With the ten thousand, consider mixing that up between a high yield online savings account and/or money market and a low cost index fund. This fund will simply mimic a certain index of the market, such as the S&P 500. Invest both the 1,000 and the 2,000 for both of them in possibly a 529 college savings plan. It will build long term savings for both when college time comes around, and it can be withdrawn tax-free for college expenses.

Invest in Exchange traded fund: 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.
