Where to Invest $10,000
Investors have many opportunities when choosing to invest $10,000. Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are all possibilities. You can diversify into several investments or choose just one. Have you considered some of your options?
Dividend Stocks. A portfolio of dividend-paying stocks can be constructed with $10,000. Stocks can be purchased through a discount broker. Many dividend-paying companies offer stock purchases directly through their company websites. This option is known as direct reinvestment plans or DRIPs. You will want to purchase stock from several different companies in different industries to be diversified.
Growth Stocks. You can create a portfolio of several companies that are considered growth stocks. Growth stocks are companies that are growing their businesses. They differ from dividend stocks. Dividend stocks pay out a portion of a companies' profits to the shareholders. Growth stocks put profits back into the company to grow the business. Growth stocks can be purchased through a broker.
Individual Bonds. Individual bonds are available from companies, states (in the United States), or countries. U.S. Government bonds can be purchased directly through TreasuryDirect. Corporate and municipal (state) bonds can be purchased through a broker. But corporate and municipal bonds are easier to invest in through a bond fund.
Bond Fund. These are pools of bonds in which to invest. You can choose a fund that invests in corporate, state, country, or international bonds. Bond funds offer a lot of diversification in one convenient purchase.
Stock Mutual Fund. These are pools of stocks in one fund. Here you can invest in a group of growth or dividend stocks. You can choose to invest in index funds that track the S&P 500 which represents the five hundred largest companies in the United States. You can purchase an international fund that will offer a diverse range of stocks from countries around the world. Stock funds allow you to diversify your stock holdings easily.
Individual stocks and bonds investing is possible with $10,000. But to reduce risk, mutual and index funds offer more diversification. Plus, they offer convenience for investors who are uninterested in managing their finances day-to-day. Investing $10,000 is a great step to your financial future whichever investments you choose to purchase.

| Sandra - Investing: One good plan is to have both stocks and bonds in your portfolio. You can easily do this with $10,000. You may want to own more stocks than bonds right now. This is because interest rates are beginning to rise and that causes the price of bonds to drop. You still need bonds in a portfolio to be balanced, but can underweight them right now if you choose to do so. I have a new eBook for 2014 that addresses these issues. Here is the link to it on Amazon: Investing $10K in 2014 |

| Sandra - Investing: Thank you for the suggestion. |
| Sandra - Investing: Another option for investing $10,000 is a target-date fund. This allows you to invest in just one place. The fund will invest your money into stocks and bonds according to a chosen date. This date is usually your planned retirement date. As you get closer to this date, the fund will move more money to bonds for more stability. Have you invested in one of these funds? |
