Student Investing: Student Investment Options

Many students have asked me that, “I am a Student right now. Which are the possible investment opportunities for me?”

Many parents believe that, students should not invest their money because once they will start thinking about money, they will loose concentration on study. And that’s why many parents strictly prohibit their students from doing investments. These parents think that, their school going children should start investing their money once they grow up or later in life.

But unfortunately, This is Myth. The reality is that, if you want to win at the game of Investing than You should start early.

Warren Buffet has started investing in the stock market when he was only 11 years old and he says that he was late. Time is this much important.

So Here are some Student Investment Options -

01) Mutual Funds -

If you are totally new to investing than start from mutual funds. Start monthly SIP in some good equity diversified mutual funds. You can start SIP with as low as Rs.500 per month. So What should be the ideal age of starting investment for school going children?

Well, from the fifth standard. Yes, I am not kidding. But I have seen many kids on CNBC TV whose parents have motivated them to start investing when they were in fifth standard. So if you are fifth standard or more than you should start investing.

02) Direct Stock Market Investing -

Direct Stock Investing comes once you mastered with daily stock market ups and downs and in mutual fund analysis. You can start this from your eighth standard.

03) Invest in Cashflow producing web properties -

Real Estate is not the Asset Class for Students because it requires large amount of Capital. But Web Properties are new Asset Classes. You can buy Blogs, Forums & Websites from eBay or Sitepoint.com and sell them in future for higher prices. You can buy web properties for as low as $ 100 or even less.

04) Domains Portfolio -

Many people Invest in Domain Names. It is a very cheap Investment but can give you extra ordinary returns. You have to register a Domain Name with those names which you think that have great potential. You can register your Domain Names on GoDaddy.com for as low as $ 10 per year.

05) Invest in your own Internet Business -

Another thing you can do is, you can invest your money behind your own Internet Business. You can start your own Blog or eBay store and invest money behind its marketing.
