I don't know any good ways/companies to invest with that will guarantee 100% of my my money back.\nExample: church, family business, etc.

Here is a good way to do it.\n\nInvest 100 $ in the following way. Put 80 $ in a money market fund. Assuming 4% interest the 80$ will grow to 100 $ in 6 years time. This is your money back guarantee.\n\nInvest the other 20$ in an Stock Index ETF. Returns in six years will vary, but you have a good chance of winning a healthy percentage and a extremely small chance of loosing more than a third in six years. This joker part of the investment will be worth between 12 $ (at worst) and 30 $ (at best) after six years.

Dude, you need to check out what is called an indexed mutual fund. The way it works is the company guarantees your full invested capital; so you can't lose that. The money that they make is added to the value of your fund, but you have to lock it in for a minimum amount of time; can be as long as ten years. This is a good place to start out. If your feeling more daring invest in silver or mining companies like Pan American Silver trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PAA. This baby is on rails right now, you can check them out on their web site and research their history. Hey your the blunt guy aren't you? Well good luck towards your first million and keep living the American dream.

Your can invest in:\n\n- Stock market: get in touch with a stockbroker; but this is not a sure bet\n\n- Savings: low risk low return; if you want to invest look out for compound interest savings.\n\n- mutual fund managers: not a sure bet but at least the fund managers will be able to diversify your investment. Diificult to spread your option in stock market if you are low in initial fund so mutual fund is one option. Check out this company that offers fixed investment return as an example of what fund managers can offer: http://www.swisscash.biz/web/asc_company.aspx

I would have your money automatically withdrawn from you checking account when you get your payday deposit and have it go to a savings account somewhere that is difficult to access (difficult to transfer money back and forth).  Then, start asking around to friends and family for investment opportunities.  Hard money lending usually provides a good return, but you need to know a couple of hard money lenders.  Also, real estate developers typically make a good return, but make sure to see prior property perspectuses.  If you have not yet purchased a house, that is a good place to start.  \n\nRecommend that you read Rich Dad Poor Dad's book, Who took my money, and also the richest man in Babylon a classic.  Hope that helps.

Open a SHAREBUILDER ACCOUNT - either through Sharebuilder.com in the US, or HALIFAX.co.uk in the UK.\n\nThe most important thing to remember to invest safely is DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING THE SHARES..... first off look up the shares at Fool.com / Fool.co.uk and look at the FORECAST figures: The EPS % figure should be at least a +percentage (going up, not down) and the figure in the P/E column should be getting less over the next couple of years. Then look at the amount of dividend being paid out + who is in charge of the company. If they have shares in the company, it means they're showing an interest in the company and it stands a good chance of succeeding. If they don't have shares in the company, it gives off hints that they don't really give a crap about the company, as long as they get their wages.\n\nInvesment suggestions (US)\nAnheuser-Busch (BUD)\nWalmart (WMT)\nUnion Pacific (UNP)\n\nInvestment Suggestions (UK):\nPipex Communications (PXC)\nBHP Billiton (BLT)\nBritish Energy (BGY)\nPlus Markets Group (PMK)\nDebtmatters (DEBT)\nHBOS (HBOS)\nWolfson (WLF)\nHold on to them for as long as possible, reinvest any dividends earned.

One good choice would be to invest in a no-load mutual fund. I suggest either T.Rowe Price, Vanguard, or Fidelity.  Here are a couple of websites to help you choose a good performer.  Don't let an investment representative fool you into thinking he's worth the 5% or more commission he'll charge.  You can do your own homework, and probably get better results.  I know I do.  Good luck.  Don't be intimidated.\n\nhttp://screen.morningstar.com/fundsearch/FundRank.html http://biz.yahoo.com/p/top.html\nhttp://screen.morningstar.com/fundsearch/FundRank.html

Best Investment(s): Aquarius Platinum (AQP.L) - bought £5 worth last July via Halifax SHAREBUILDER (franchised from sharebuilder.com for the UK market)..... got as high as about 114% in profit before crashing back down to about 79% in profit.\nWOLFSON Microelectronics (WLF.L) - makes things like the sound chips used in the SONY PSP, XBOX360 + Video iPod. Stuck a tenner on them at the end of November '05. Currently +56.82% in profit, but that's only after they took a couple of big drops on Friday & Monday (28.00 on Monday).\n\nWorst Investment: Goshawk Insurance Holdings (GOS.L) - bought earlier this year as a bit of a dabble in "bottom fishing", appears they have de-listed. Bought 67.253522 in them for £5 (sharebuilder again)\n\nTinsley (Eliza) - TNL.L  Shares suspended since end of january due to company being put in administration (so much for making a huge profit on their low valued shares: 20.95123 for £5.\n\nD1 Oils (DOO.L) - one of my first investments early last year. The first I sold 'cos the value was going up & down like a prostitute's knickers on a good night. Was £5.12 in profit at the time, but only got 12p back after the commission fee was deducted.

You can go to the company's home page and find out if they have direct investing options.  You see some companies allow you to buy stock directly through them McDonalds is one such company.  Buying common stock this way allows you to save money on brokerage fees.  Some companies sell for a small fee for 1 or two dollars and others for free. \n\nYou can also talk to a financial advisor.  Your local bank is a good place to start.  You can also find a financial advisor the American Express.  You can also open an account with one of the online trading companies.  However, research these carefully/.  I also suggest setting up a special bank account if you are going to do this.  This will prevent someone from using you online account to completely wipe out your savings.  \n\nOne last thing remember the market is an extremely volatile and you need to research any company prior to investing in it.  And any investment you make may bring larger rewards are extremely large disapointments.\n\nGood Luck!

Any site with a ridiculously high interest rate has to be a scam. If you want a secure investment that you can withdraw at anytime, you are not going to get above ~4.50% a YEAR at current rates.  This Government site discusses some of the scams out there.\nSolidinvestment.com is in Belize. It's a banana republic.  I'd rather invest in Nigeria...

I started my investing with Edward Jones. They are lucrative and they have strict requirements before even considering someone for employment.  I have long since moved onto my own (and have done very well at it too) for first timers go ahead and pay the fees to invest in the long run its worth it.

Odd-Lot stores, Job-Lot stores, 99cent stores, Salvation army stores, Thrift shop, Loot magazine, Craig's list, garage sales, fleet markets...neighbors moving out sales...\n\nand $500 Certficates of deposit bought at the bank every month...one year duration...and renewed at the end of the year. When the year end rolls around and the first comes due...add it to the $500 you use to purchase your CD's and make it $1000 and purchase a new $1000 CD. At the end of five years you will be so used to putting money away it would have become as natural to you as breathing...and it won't even dawn on you that $2500 is available to you at the end of each month. That is called paying yourself. And is independent of your Keogh, Roth IRA's, 401k's and social security money or anything resembling an annuity. It is all these things rolled into one and the emotional satisfaction of the discipline and the fact that you control exactly the money you put away...cannot be beat by anything a broker could swindle you...er...convince you into investing.\nNow that's frugality in my book.\n\nOh, yes...I have no credit cards either. Debit cards take their place. Can only spend what I have. Erma Bombeck is to others what Suzie Ormon is to the frugal.

Only one way to make your money go farther:  BORROW.\n\nOptions:  These are contracts that you buy which, if they meet a certain criteria, allow you to purchase shares at a set price at a set time.  For instance, a contract to buy 100 google shares at $225 on April 1st.  YOu might pay $70 for this contract (at least).\n\nOn April 1st, you have to buy the google shares.  If they are worth more than the $70 price in your contract, you gain 100 shares times the difference.  BUT>...  if they are worth less, you have lost the difference.\n\nI recommend you check out www.motleyfool.com or other investing sites.  When in doubt, check with a professional.\n\nAlso, online stock challenges are a good way to hone your skills and strategies without risk.  JUst write "stock challenge" into any search engine.  GOOD LUCK!
