Emily Dew asked:


I have very basic knowledge of investing in stocks and have actually built a small portfolio over the past 13 years or so. However, I have no idea how to invest 401K money where I have to choose from limited funds and investment vehicles. I’ve read several books and they all seem to contradict each other in their advice. Can anyone recommend a good website or book that will help me understand the basics so I can make my own decisions? Thanks!

Keep in mind I am 17 years old. I’ve heard plenty of stories of those who’ve made millions through the stock market, but I don’t want to invest every free hour I have in an attempt to make money, which may not even be that profitable. Do you think the hard work and time involved in investing into the stock market is worth it?

I have a retirement account (403b) that I invest money into every month. However, I’d like to expand my investing and do the “stocks and bonds” thing to get a dividend as “income” on a regular basis. How does one go about setting something like this up? All of the people I know that trade dont speak “little guy” so I am asking here for the n00b investor info.

What should i do to start investing money in stocks?

heatherette asked:


I am very interested in investing, but I really don’t know how or what the benefits. How does it work in simple terms? I guess I need to read “Investing for Dummies” or something. Basically, if I put $20 towards a stock, if the company is still around in 10 years will I make a bunch of money? Or if I invest in something like Hannah Montana, will I not get anything in ten years since she won’t be popular?
