Is $1000 worth investing in the stock market?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
Yes For Sure... You have $1,000 set aside, and you're ready to enter the world of investing. However, before you jump headfirst into the world of stocks and bonds, there are some things to consider. One of the biggest considerations for investors with a minimal amount of funds is not only what to invest in but also how to go about investing. Not long into your investment journey, you may find yourself bombarded with minimum deposit restrictions, commissions and the need for diversification, among a myriad of other considerations.

ANY investment is worth it. Put it in an index fund and you will get money in the long run. Even if it's for a year, why not get $100 FREE dollars (assuming average returns + taxes). It's a good way to encourage saving, AND you get FREE MONEY. Really, what's more cool than that?

I think yes its a worth investment to start with , try to study the market and invest for long term and keep adding funds when you have extra fund

Maybe. If you use it as a long-term investment in a diversified portfolio, you could multiply your $1000 many times over. If you use it to invest in a single stock for short term gains -- good luck.

I would say it is a little small. But it should work.

Depending on the charges for transaction you would need the stock to go up at least 2.5%.

That is easy over time but not good with a short turn around.

Get yourself a Roth IRA from vanguard. Put the money into an account that you would turn 65 and forget about it while adding money to it whenever you have the extra cash. You can withdraw your contribution(after a time period) but you cant withdraw your earning

No. That amount will have a greater return in the bank because you can avoid monthly bank fees, overdraft fees, pay your debts on time (to avoid interest charges and late charges), etc.

yes, but buy good stocks, not more then 5.

if you are feeling generous why not the sharks will soon dispose of it it's what they do
