If you're saving for retirement in your early twenties, you should utilize a conservative or moderate trend of investing – but if you're attempting to get together the funds to buy a home in the next year or two, you'd wish to utilize an aggressive trend. Conservative investors wish to maintain their initial investment. Put differently, if they invest $5000 they wish to be sure that they'll get their initial $5000 back. This type of investor commonly invests in common stocks and bonds and short term money market accounts. An interest earning savings account is really common for conservative investors.

For example, the biggest investing mistake that you could ever make is to not invest at all, or to put off investing until later. Make your cash work for you – even if all you can spare is $20 a week to invest! While not investing at all or putting off investing until later are huge errors, investing before you are in the financial position to do so is another huge mistake. Get your present financial situation in order first, and then start investing. Get your credit squared away, pay off high interest loans and charge cards, and put at least 3 months of living expenses in savings. Once this is done, you're ready to start letting your cash work for you. Don’t invest to get rich quick. That's the riskiest type of investing that there is, and you'll more than likely lose. If it was simple, everybody would be doing it! Rather, invest for the long term, and have the patience to weather the storms and allow your cash to grow. Only invest for the short term when you know you'll need the cash in a short amount of time, and then stick with safe investments, such as certificates of deposit.
- 22. - 22 - Don’t put all of your eggs into one basket. Scatter it around assorted types of investments for the best returns. Likewise, don’t move your cash around too much. Let it ride. Pick your investments cautiously, invest your cash, and allow it to grow – don’t panic if the stock drops a few dollars. If the stock is a stable stock, it will go back up. A common error that a lot of individuals make is thinking that their investments in collectibles will truly pay off. Again, if this were true, everybody would do it. Don’t count on your Coke collection or your book collection to pay for your retirement years! Count on investments made with cold hard cash rather.
