How can an average guy like me with $420 extra monthly learn to invest money from home and make a profit? I believe what goes up must come down and vice versa so with the state of the market I would like to start investing and I am asking about all areas possible. Is $420 a month too small to go to a financial advisor and and ask for help? Is it really possible to learn from home with store bought software how to invest in stocks, bonds, and the market to produce a return / how much of a return can I make? I'm thinking low to medium risk, sure and steady returns. I'm not greedy. A10% return or better is good for me.

JC: Wow, mutual funds sounds like it might be a good way to go, so I'll have to look into that to. Anyone got any tips on mutual funds or a good way to go about doing that?

Should i begin to learn to invest? Hi, i am a sophomore at college and am interested in learning how to invest my money in stocks, bonds, etc. I have 0 knowledge about anything in investing. I don't follow up on current events or anything like that. BUT...i am perusing a major in Finance. I use to run somewhat of an ebay business where i would buy items cheap, and resell them for profit back into ebay. I would study trends, in when these items would sell cheap, when they would sell high. This seems like a "simplier" version of investing and i wanted to jump from kiddy games to big boy games. Here are my major questions: #1 Should I attempt to learn how to invest by myself, or wait for the college to teach me? How useful is college in teaching you to invest or is it something that you can really only learn by "doing"? Does courses needed for a finance major completely cover the needed knowledge on investing? #2 Is investing at a younger age the better? Should i invest now rather than when i'm older? Of course, i wont be investing ALOT of money, only maybe 1k. This is mainly an exploratory reason. Would an beginner investor lose EVERYTHING? I plan to play it safe so i'm hoping that if i DO lose money, that it would not be all of it. Maybe 70% of my money at max. Or is it so dangerous, that there is a high chance i could lose all my money? #3 If it is a good idea to start learning now by myself, what material, sites or methods would help me learn as much as i can for investing? I know there are tons of books out there which tell you how to invest and what not. Also...i feel that forums are the BEST way to help you expand your knowledge when learning by yourself. So, is there a good forum which i can get expert advice and knowledge, that many "beginner" books don't help much with. I find that in forums, there are "mentor" figures who would help guide you. #4 To do the "investment games" or not? In high school, we participated in a an investment game. I know that practicing on the investment game is a safe way to learn but i also feel that it does simulate real life investing enough because you lose nothing. Because you lose REALY MONEY, you have much more of an incentive to learn more and to not screw up.

How can I learn about making money from investing? I'm sick of living paycheck to paycheck, and I want to figure out how people get wealthy. I'm not talking about any get-rich-quick scheme, or getting rich with no work. I know it won't be easy. But it seems like some people have figured out how to work the markets in America, and there is wealth out there if one is willing to work for it. My first intuition is to invest in something like stocks. I don't have a lot of money to start with, but I have a little in savings and I just started an IRA. I don't own my own home (I'm fresh out of college). I would love to make enough to pay off my credit card debt and student loans. Any advice, book recommendations, experiences, etc. would be helpful. Thank you!

16 year old needs advice on how to invest money earned from job..? Ok guys.. I am not on that get rich quick mentatility. I have listen to almost all Robert Kiyosaki audio books. I learned alot from him but alot of people here are shattering my hopes on being a millionaire. Most the rich have their money secured in real estate rather than 401k and CD accounts. So why when I read a question on yahoo answers about investing in real estate alot of people are saying you will lose money if you invest in real estate right now.. because the market is not in your favor. I mean I was planning on saving all my money I make while living with my parents and from all I save invest it in something that will make some profit. But the way people on here talk its like theres no possible way to make alot of $$$ without winning the lottery or marrying a rich person. Maybe this is why poor people stay poor cause they just looking for an easy way out. Sim S and the_real_zip is exactly why I posted this question. Because of ignorant people like this. And just because you make shit of wages is not the reason you don't have money.
What is the best way to learn about investing/ saving/ becoming financially free? I've read a few books by Donald Trump, Robert Kiryosaki (yeah misspelled), Dave Ramsey, and a few others. I just don't feel like I understand a lot of things - many books start off like you have some financial knowledge - I don't really - especially with terminology. Are there any books anyone recommends? Or classes (perhaps online classes?) Or clubs or websites? I want to have a financial IQ - I want to understand how to build wealth - not get rich quick kind of wealth - but the more long-term kind of wealth. I want to really understand how to wisely invest my money. What are your suggestions about how to learn?

How can I practice portfolio investment without putting any money? I am interested in learning investing in a portfolio but I do not want to invest money until i fully understand and grasp the concepts. I want to set up an account with "fake money" if that is possible and track my stocks and learn from my mistakes. Is this possible? I have checked out sites such as etrade, fidelity, and vanguard but they all require you to deposit in order to use the service and their investment tools.

Is it a good idea to join a company that promises to assist you to find government money for business invest? I recently learned about a company that promises to fully assist in applying for government grants and real estate loan deals if you join for a fee? They claim that with their extensive research and legal department they can for a one time fee hugely enhance your chances to receive all kinds of grants and bargain loans. It seems like a good deal if they truly provide a good service and the members are highly successful at having their applications approved. I wonder if anyone knows about these types of offers and have good experiences or negative outcomes. How much money is available from the government and how difficult is it to actually receive some?

How can I invest to make money given the collapse of bee populations?
