Investing at 21 years old

Hi Peter, what do you think would be good way for a 21 year old to start stock investing?

I have a few thousand dollars put away and as a student I have a part time job. LICS, ETF’s, index funds , direct shares have all been suggested to me. I’m confused.

Could you help please?

A: Have you looked at these articles (here and here) on our site? I appreciate that you are 21 – however, the substance of the first article probably still applies. The second compares LICs vs ETFs. Let me know how you get on, and please contact me again if you still have any questions after reviewing these.

Regards

Peter
