What is the best investment plan at a bank starting with only 100.00?

There are lots of mutual funds that will take $100 to get you started.  So a search in Yahoo Finance or MSN for funds that start with a min investment of $100.  I have been an investment advisor for over 23 years.

If you want to be 100% safe long term bank deposits would be safest. Next best thing are bank bonds/certificates the Gov't Banks issue out.\n\nOf course, investing in anything else would introduce risks and possibly increased returns/losses.\n\nAny investment that probably promises me anything more than 5% with no risk would be highly questionable.

What were you planning on investing around $100.00 or less.  Would this be an immigration document  or something of that nature, or what?

Save money. When you get a couple of hundred open a Roth IRA and start investing in an index fund. Do this at your local bank (easy, cheap, friendly) . . . yeah they get paid out of your funds and later you'll roll over the IRA to Fidelity, Vanguard, etc . . . but for now JUST START the easiest way possible.\n\nPS: Assuming you are young and don't get paid a lot REMEMBER that it doesn't get easier to start saving once you have a house, two cars, a wife, and kids. WORSE, you are older and have less time for your investment to grow. START NOW!

There isn't one.  Any investment promising that kind of return is either lying or so risky that you are much more likely to turn your $1000 into $1.50.  You don't get something for nothing.

It depends on where you live. I work for a Bank and the best place in my mind is with my investment specialist, if you have any questions you can email me and I'll give you more information

If you have 5-10,000 dollars then the money market deal is good mentioned above. But if you're like most of us that have a grand or less, you want to look into online banks for the best interest. These are a little scary because you can't walk into them and if you want to tak out money, it takes a day or two, but they pay the best interest. Check this link to compare interest rates. Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/chk/20001002j.asp

Safety - safe, FDIC insured up to $10K. Unless someone bombs your bank, the money is safe.\n\nGrowth rate - this SUCKS for savingts accts. They give less tthan 1% return. If youre interested in savings accts, use Orange (ingdirect.com) who is offering 3.95% currently - way better, but still not as good as a CD. \n\nInflation Protection - none. Inflation grows faster than the measly 1% return youre getting...\n\nLiquidity - excellent! You can get at it whenever you need to witth an ATM card! \n\nTax avoidance - none. Get sent a 1099 at the end of the year. However, in order to get dinged on your taxes, you need to make more than $600...at 1% interest, that means that you have $600,000 in a savings acct...doubtful at this point.\n\nWhat really irks me is that they take your money and lend it to people, charging 15 - 19%, pocket 14-18% and give you 1%. BS!!!

your best bet is to get a money card and put anywhere between $50-100

the "best" investment you could make has to do with your knowledge and experience with investing, and by the sounds of it you dont have much of either. I wouldnt invest in any stocks or bonds, or anything with high risk until you know about tax laws, financial institutions, etc. Educate yourself first or blow all your money away. Trust me there are plenty of people out there waiting to take your money away from you.\n\nI would suggest a ROTH IRA, since your principal is not taxed, and has a very high return for younger people over a long period of time. \n\nAnother thing u could do with your money is start a business and sell it once its successful (for a few million dollars or whatever it happens to be worth) -- but like investing you should educate yourself first.\n\nAnother best bet as a non-experienced investor is to start out safe in Money Market accounts that have near 5% interest rates like ING direct orange account, or HSBC Money Market Savings account as some examples.\n\nThe CD thing sucks becuz they tie your money up for long periods of time whereas money market savings accounts are easily liquidible.\n\nOh i should mention also that ROTH IRA has no penalities on withdrawls you make against the principle, and you can use money from a ROTH IRA to buy your first home too!

The fastest way to turn $100.00 into $10,000.00 is of course a Horse Race.\n\nAll you need to do is bet $100.00 on a 10:1 horse and if you win you get $1000.00 \n\nAfter you win you bet $1000.00 on a 10:1 horse and if you win you get $10,000.00\n\nThe chances of winning two longshots races in a roll are very low.\n\nTherefore the fastest way to turn $100.00 into $10,000.00 IS NOT THE EASIEST WAY. \nThis two options are mutually exclusive.\n\nThe easiest way to turn $100.00 into $10,000.00 is this:\nYou invest $100.00 in something that gets you a return on your investment of 10,000%\n\nYou cannot open a business with $100.00 therefore the option of starting your own Microsoft, Yahoo! or Google is out.\n\nHowever, you can invest in the stock market and buy $100.00 in shares and wait until the price has risen 10,000%\n\nIn the last decade only 2 stocks rised more than 10,000% \n\nThis decade more stocks will rise more than 10,000% \n\nIt is highly unlikely that you will pick either of them among thousands of companies.\n\nHere are the 10 Best Stocks of the last Decade\n01 Hansen Natural 24,185%\n02 Chico's 17,600%\n03 NVR 7,150%\n04 Christopher & Banks 6,795%\n05 Meritage Homes 5,860%\n06 American Eagle Outfitters 4,850%\n07 Comtech Telecommunications 4,315%\n08 SCP Pool 4,090%\n09 Engineered Support Systems 3,800%\n10 Jos. A. Bank 3,790%\n\nIn other words, it is not impossible to turn $100.00 into $10,000.00 but it is not easy.\n\nHowever, if you save at least $100.00 each week you will have $10,000.00 in less than 2 years.\n\nYou don't have to wait a decade. All you have to do is save.\n\nI hope this helps.

The best relative safe one that I have found is a Bond fund that Charles Schwab has--it currently pays 5.8%.  I have some funds in it and did a lot of checking before going in that direction.  Schwab is a good Co. to deal with --no conning or high-pressure.\nRemember the "rule of 72" says that your 5.8% compounded and reinvested will double in 12 and 1/2 years.

I believe most mutual funds require $2500 initial investment, so you may be limited in your choice.  I would get a copy of Money  magazine and look at their listings of mutual funds to see which ones allow you to start with $1000.  \nThere will be statistics on all of the funds showing you which ones are doing the best for 1,5, and 10 year periods.\nIf it is for long term investment, I would recommend an S&P 500 index fund like Vanguard index 500, or a growth and income fund.  If you want to gamble  a little for higher returns, you \ncould try an aggressive growth fund.  A good friend of mine has done well with CGM focus fund.\nLook for no-load funds, and ones with the smallest maintainance fees.  These fees don't sound too important but over many years of compounding they are very important.\nPaying a load up front has never been shown to increase your returns on the average (contrary to what some brokers will try to tell you), so don't.\nAnd if you are young, stay away from bond funds; stock funds are much better.  Some of the better companies are Strong, Janus , Fidelity and Vanguard.\nGood luck!

If the bank fails, your money is insured and you won't lose it, up to a certain amount, I think $100,000
