Invest in stocks at 14?
I want to invest in stocks and im 14.
I know that I am not ready to start investing yet, because I dont know much about it yet.
So I would like your help to give me advice on how to learn how to invest in stocks.Any good
books or websites , that are easy to understand.
And also give me some places where I can open an investment account, so that when Im ready
I knwo where to go.
I have about $400 and I get $10/week in allowance, which i dont spend.
Im also thinking about FOREX any comments or suggestion?
If someone could teach me themselves by email that would be great, I would be so happy!
Steve Winston answers:
I started at 14 so why shouldn't you?
The first thing you should do is take $10 from your weekly allowance and buy a copy of Andrew
Tobias's "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need."
If you don't buy his book, you can take my advice, but you get what you pay for!

2. Go with your parent or guardian to a discount broker like Schwab, Fidelity, or Vanguard. If you
"earn" your allowance from chores, have them set up a Roth IRA so that your money grows free
of taxes; If you don't earn money, just set up a regular brokerage account. Rather than investing
in individual stocks, you should begin by buying an exchange traded fund ("ETF") such as the
iShare S&P500 (ticker symbol "IVV") or a no load large-cap value fund. Then as your money
grows, you can start to invest in "blue chip" stocks such as AT&T ("T"), Verizon ("VZ"), and
Exxon ("XOM").

I think the best way to learn about the stock market is to first see what the best traders are
buying and selling and why. This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is
a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the
site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to
other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share
your own investing ideas. There is also a charting feature , so you can see how your portfolio
performs compared to the S&P 500.
Here are this month's best traders:

You might also want to read "The Little Book that Beats the Market" - this book clearly explains
the fundamentals of value investing.
Good luck.

5. Nancy asks…
How do you determine what type of stock to invest into?
I am currently a college freshmen and I need a way to pay for college since my parents will not
be helping me. So, I started reading a book on investing in the stock market. Should I look for
stocks that are for growth investing or income investing, and what cap size stocks should I
look into? I was thinking middle to large size cap stocks. Please help me! If you could, state
your credentials too! Thanks.
Steve Winston answers:
Many successful people don't. They use top business and finance professionals to go through
the most minute details of companies, their financial situation, goals, competition,
products/services and so on to a degree that you could never dream to. Then they reap the
rewards over time, paying even 1/5th of 1% as an expense. They're called mutual funds, and
you can save your social life as well as make very smart investments through them.
Read Mutual Funds For Dummies and Stock Investing For Dummies for two very good basic
investment education books.

6. Michael asks…
Best "Informative" Books on Stock Investing?
I have read the following books and have enjoyed them very much.
" How To Make Money In Stocks" by William J. O'Neil(1988).
"24 Essential Lessons For Investment Success" by William J. O'Neil (1999).
I'm not an avid reader, but I am heading on that pathway, to read more and learn more about
stocks. I thought these books were very descriptive, and informative. Are there any other
books that provide a great deal of explanation, information, strategies etc? I want to only read
the best of the best.
Steve Winston answers:
Type "investing books" in the Search Y! Answers box above and you'll get lots of answers.
