Does anybody invest all that hard working freelance money?
I'm thinking about investing in stocks while I am still young, but I am totally clueless on where to start researching companies. Any Help, suggestions?

i doubled my money in activision.
but i only invested 4gs. but.. i guess 4gs aint bad. if youre not wanting to take big risks.. the best advise you can take it taking your 1 or 2 grand and going to an investor who does what they do professionally. they can grow your money (with you contributing money when you can) over 10-15 or 20 years and make it worth your while.
also.. check into these books. a buncha guys at my work invest instocks a lot and got me doing it. i started off reading "how i made 2,000,000 in the stock market" by nicolas darvas..... and "the neatest little guide to stock market investing" by jason kelly...
both are very good books to start with... but i really really really suggest if youre not into the stock market... dont take anyone's advice and take your money to an investor. seriously. its worth it if youre young and youre nto looking to retire in the next 20 years. you'll be glad you did.. andyou dont need a big heaping load of money to start.

stocks is really bad advice for a novice. he'll loose all his money unless he does major research. bad advice.

shellie, it's not that hard to invest and do research on companies, press release/yahoo finance company news, the register the inquirer.

its simple, especially if you are young. invest low risk - low return. it sucks the first 10 years but the curve grows and grows if you leave it there.
or you can invest aggressively and grip about it every quarter.
makes good happy hour convo with the shit head biniss men at happy hour.personally i followed the former. my mon and dad invested separatly since they were young.. my mom did the low risk no worries, my pop took chances. they ended up kinda close, my mom made steady gains. my pop took risks and capitolised and also lossed his ass on a few.
just get informed on the game before you jump in. much like any endeavor

Wurd!
it ain't hard to learn. but don't play untill u know what to do. Also don't panic if your stalk goes down, its a roller coaster goes up and down, the main thing is research companies, quarter gains etc.

two words = real estate
there is only so much land that mom nature has made and it's being gobbled up quick with higher returns each time.i bought two small properties almost 3 years ago, and they pay for themselves with renters. One is valued at 40% more than what i bought it for and the other at 57%.
and now, at least in the US, it doesn't take much to buy a property... just some decent credit and a potentially profitable property (banks will give a loan to almost any property if they see a potential for a good return).
