Re: The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens
[ QUOTE ]
At your age earned not unearned income is where the action is. Find out what is preventing you from earning the big bucks and fix it. I think self help books might be a better investment than an investment guide.
stick to vanguard.com mutual funds until you have $50k and then reconsider.

A great book for college students is The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach.
I definately agree at 19, he should be looking to maximize earned income.
50K however, is too high a default point before diversifying out of index funds.
