I just turned 18 and I have about $12,000 saved up. I am about to go to college and I decided that I want to put all of it into investments, so that when I get out of college it will go up some. Otherwise it will just sit in my bank account. What should I invest in that is safe and something that I don’t have to worry about my stocks going bad/down??

Can I even invest at 18 or do I need a parent?

My son and daugther are 4.5 years apart in age. My son was the first grandchild and my grandmother showered him with various stocks and investments. By the time my daughter came along, there were too many great-grandchildren and Grandma couldn’t keep up. I want to even my kids up, but my daughter shouldn’t have the same amount as my son as she’s younger. Is there some formula that I can use to determine how much my daughter should have compared to my son to insure that they’re somewhat close in value when they take over the accounts when they’re grown. Obviously, subject to market fluctuations. When I buy an investment now, I buy the same one for both, so that if one pick is good or bad, they’re affected equally.

23 years to retirement, have 401k, roth IRA, looking at both reitrement investing and current income. I’ve been told that 20 well diversified investments is a good limit, since there is only so much time in a day to keep track of them all. Do you agree?
