Where to Invest $1,000 Right Now
Allow me to begin this column with an assumption: If you've got $1,000 to invest in the stock market, and you're thinking hard about where to put that money, you probably don't already have $100,000, $1 million, or several million dollars already invested. If you've got $1,000 to invest, you're probably contemplating your first investment.
And that's great! Everyone's got to start somewhere. Most of us investors started right about where you are right now -- with $1,000 or so to invest, and a very real fear that, if we invest it in the wrong stock, it could all just vanish.
So let's try and make sure that doesn't happen to you.
