Hey guys,
I'm 23, in college, and I think I would like to start a portfolio. I already have an E*TRADE account, but I have no idea what to invest in. I have some ideas that I would like to pursue, such as semiconductors, sustainable(green) tech, and I wouldn't mind having a little bit of some solid computer stocks, such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google.
I'm also interested in mutual funds, and other different types of investments, but i can tell its going to take a lot of learning to get comfortable with my knowledge base. That’s why I joined this forum, i am a member of a ton of forums for all my different interests, and this seems like a good one to add to the list.
So i guess the point of this post is just to get a little guidance from old pros, or people that were in my position not too long ago... suggested readings, suggested "beginner" investments, ect. I don’t have a whole lot of money, I’m hoping to put in 100$ or more every couple weeks (payday) and just get a slow start.
Anyway, thanks and I’ll see you around the forum.
