SIP (Systematic Investment Plan)\nSuppose you start investing 5000 rupees  at the age of 35 years and stop it at 60, the amount invested will be 15 lacs altogether but you can end up getting more than 1 crore!!!\n.....trust me no joke

Hi fren, I think it is not advisable to invest in Mutual Funds this time, provided u have some other investments which can compensate any loss u might incur. I say so because if u follow market, u can see that for few of the very strong funds the NAV has gone down.\nMutual funds, depend on share market and currently all the analysts (national and international) have advised their clients to take a vacation.\nI think for a new investor like you, u should wait for some time, let the market stabilise once then u can think of getting in.

In the U S\n\nconsider HD,  ET, BAC, BBT, MSFT, COP, FTO\n\nfor a closed end fund GAM\n\nopen ended mutual funds  PENNX\n\nOutside the U S\n\nCHL, closed end funds TDF and SWZ, SAY, CAJ, NVS\n\nbest bet SAY but India still may have a way to drop. \n\nWhat ever you decide, just take a few nibbles and maintain a healthy cash reserve.

Hi Alra,\n  I am assuming that you are here in the USA. If so I would highly recommend DRIPS, Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRPs), if only because of the small amount of cash you have available, you cannot afford to be paying ANY commissions, they will eat through your $200 like a hot knife through butter at room temperature. With DRPS you are buying the stocks directly from the company itself without paying those commissions. I would also suggest that you add a set amount of dollars every month to your holdings. Only pick stocks that you have checked out and believe in, especially those that make products you buy and use and like. Look at this for the long term, gradually your account should increase in value. Then you are able to take some of those profits and trade riskier stocks through a regular trading account. \nGood luck and don't forget to watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money on CNBC    BOOYA

There are plenty of ways to invest and also plenty of investments in which you can loose your money. \n\nfarm land. buy it and rent it out to farmers or go shares\n\nrental properties. maintenance can be a nightmare though, but the tax advantages are terrific\n\nrare coins, stamps, baseball cards, comic books, etc. but you have to spend a lot of time and energy persuing that venue. \n\nvacation home. but not in a huricane prone area.\n\nthose are some of your options. Now let's talk stocks\n\nYou say you are invested in stocks but how diversified is your portfolio?  Do you have 50% of your porfolio invested outside the U S? Is a portion invested where the future growth is expected to be? India, China

I hear that buying Royalty Dividends is hot.  Know what it is?  If not, its stock in fuel.  Not alot of investors mess with it but there is a big market for it on the net.  Just set up e*trade account and go!  You get a check monthly or option to convert back to stock options.  That's what I'm hearing!

I would suggest that you work with a professional broker or financial advisor - they can recommend funds & stocks that meet your needs.\n\nAsk someone you trust to recommend someone they trust.\n\nI know nothing about stocks & investing, but I've managed (on average) make some money (and not lose it) in stocks, _only_ becasue I have a broker who I can trust.

At 23, time is your best friend (hooray compound interest).  Your best bet is to (if you haven't already,) open up and max out your Roth IRA.  This allows you to allow that compounding to work in a tax-free manner after you deposit. See what a difference that can make here: http://www.dinkytown.net/java/RothIRA.html\n\nIf you work for a company that provides matching funds for your 401(k) or similar retirement account, be sure to get the maximum match - it's free money! (that has to come from your income, but you can use your $10K to buffer your cost of living while you max your contributions).\n\nNote, it'll depend both on your capital gains, and the tax efficiency of your investments, but when I ran the numbers for myself, I found that I was much better off using my 401(k) for investment even though I plan on early withdrawal: http://randomfoo.net/blog/id/4087\n\n(Over a longer time-horizon, the tax efficiency is going to make a huge difference, plus you can also drastically rebalance with near impunity, tax free)\n\nRegardless of the type of account you put your money in, you still have to decide what you're going to invest in.  There aren't guaranteed returns, but for your goals (growth until eventual financial independence, yes?) you're best bet is probably a good index mutual fund. (You'll want to do your own research on this - although index funds are by definition 'average' they tend to provide total returns (after expenses) that beat the vast majority of mutual funds.  Here's one article to help you get started on why that's the case: http://www.fool.com/mutualfunds/indexfunds/indexfunds01.htm\n\nYour best course of action as you save towards financial independence is to continue investing (dollar cost averaging) and to diversify as your capital grows (bonds, international, REITs, metals) and to try to keep an eye towards what your goals are.  A good book on the subject matter is "You Money Or Your Life" by Domniguez and Robin, which talks less about investing (they suggest an extremely conservative approach), but more about a good basic mindset/framework for thinking about money.\n\nIf your goal is early retirement (reaching the point where you can live off your investments) you may also want to take a look at FIRECalc, an interesting early retirement calculator: http://fireseeker.com/ and the related Early Retirement forums (lurking and reading the archives is a good way to dip a toe in the water, so to speak): http://early-retirement.org/forums/
