Default Re: Investments.... need help puhlease?

BG, you could also open a Sharebuilder or Scottrade account. (There are other threads on this). Then you could invest regularly in an ETF. For example, "SPY" mirrors the S&P 500 index.

However, if you do buy ETFs or stocks on a regular basis, I would only do it quarterly. Otherwise you'd be spending a large percentage of your savings on commissions.
