If you are anxious to get your investments started,
you can get started right away without having a lot of knowledge about the
stock market. Start by being a conservative investor with a low risk tolerance.
This will give you a way to making your money grow while you learn more about
investing.
Start with an interest bearing savings account. You
may already have one. If you don’t, you should. A savings account can be opened
at the same bank that you do your checking at – or at any other bank. A savings
account should pay 2 – 4% on the money that you have in the account.
It’s not a lot of money – unless you have a million
dollars in that account – but it is a start, and it is money making money.
Next, invest in money market funds. This can often be
done through your bank. These funds have higher interest payouts than typical
savings accounts, but they work much the same way. These are short term
investments, so your money won’t be tied up for a long period of time – but
again, it is money making money.
Certificates of Deposit are also sound investments
with no risk. The interest rates on CD’s are typically higher than those of
savings accounts or Money Market Funds.
You can select the duration of your investment, and
interest is paid regularly until the CD reaches maturity. CD’s can be purchased
at your bank, and your bank will insure them against loss. When the CD reaches
maturity, you receive your original investment, plus the interest that the CD
has earned.
If you are just starting out, one or all of these
three types of investments is the best starting point. Again, this will allow
your money to start making money for you while you learn more about investing
in other places. Learn how to invest like Buffet.
