Open a Roth IRA and buy DIA or SPY. Reinvest the dividends. Add to them on a regular basis. Hold for 4 decades, retire wealthy.
Slow and steady wins the investment race. Penny stocks, options, speculative stocks or tips from your barber are ingredients for the recipe for disaster.
Don't we all. Stay out of the stock market. Your funds are too limited, and your time frame is too short.
Be satisfied with 1% on a CD in the bank. {and skip the car, if you can. It will suck you dry financially.}

I am 15 i have $1800 i want to trade stocks but can't really afford to make many mistakes, but i still want to capitalize on the market and make 5-10% over the next 3 year. I also want to be able to buy a car, i do have a job that i get an average of $50 a week. the car only needs to last 2 years, until i graduate, so im not planning on spending more than $2000
