What are money market funds?

A money-market fund is a very low-risk type of mutual fund, meant to be as close to cash as possible while still earning a modest return. It is different from a money-market account, which is a type of deposit account in which the entire principal is invested in money-market funds by the bank. One key difference is that money-market accounts are FDIC-insured, while money-market funds, like all mutual funds, are not.

Short-term savings

Money-market funds are meant to be very "liquid," meaning they are easier to cash out at any time without expecting a loss, and thus are used for many short-term savings needs:
  • an emergency fund
  • a savings account for a down payment for a house
  • a college fund for teenagers
  • a savings fund for travel or other near-term needs
  • a "parking place" for money while you decide how to invest it
The investments that make up a money-market fund are "cash and cash equivalents." These are limited to highly rated debt issues (think AAA and AA) that mature in 13 months or less. Typically, money-market funds are mostly invested in U.S. treasury bonds, CDs from highly rated U.S. and foreign banks, and commercial paper (similar to bonds, with much shorter maturities, and usually issued by banks or very highly rated companies).

Retirement savings

A money-market fund is an investment choice you can make in most retirement accounts, including IRAs. Many retirement savings accounts, especially those managed on behalf of employees -- 401(k) accounts and the like -- make the default investment into money market funds. These default investments are made for funds that allow participants to make decisions about where to invest, also known as "elections." If you don't make an election, the fund manager is required to put your money into something relatively safe with at least a small expected return.

Growth expectations

The average annual growth for money-market funds tends to be at the low end of the spectrum, a reflection of the low risk associated with these funds. The Fidelity Cash Reserves Fund, one of the largest such funds available, shows historic annual returns between a low of 0.02 percent (2010) and a high of 4.97 percent (2007) over the past decade -- comparable to the interest rates in an ordinary bank savings account.

Loss of principal is rare

Money-market funds are meant to maintain "nominal value" -- in other words, the principal value is never expected to fall. If you have a $1,000 investment in a money-market fund, your account balance should never fall below $1,000. If it does, it's called "breaking the buck" and it's very rare. It has happened recently, though: in 2008, during the financial crisis, the Reserve Primary Fund became "illiquid" (it was unable to issue cash to investors who asked to withdraw their money) because it was invested in securities issued by the ill-fated Lehman Brothers. Even these investors eventually recovered 98 cents on the dollar.
Money-market funds are mutual funds, but most mutual funds hold at least a portion of their portfolio in money-market funds, given their relative safety.

Should I risk money in the stock market?

Before you begin to answer the question, "Should I risk money in the stock market?" you should first assess your investment goals, needs and risk tolerance using this series of questions:
  • What are my investing goals?
  • When will I need this money? (Or: What is my investment timeline?)
  • What is my risk tolerance?
The answer to the larger question about whether you should risk money could be "yes" for one person and "no" for another person in the exact same financial situation -- same age, same goals, same income, same investment timeline. Some of us are just better able emotionally to handle risk than others and are more comfortable with the inevitable ups and downs of the market. Others of us would rather play it safe, even if that means delaying retirement or getting by with less (now or later).

It's OK to say 'no'

If the word "risk" is the one that stands out the most when you ask "Should I risk money on stocks?" it's likely that you've already come up with an answer. You're thinking of it as a risk, and it sounds scary. You need someone to talk you into taking the plunge. Here's the thing: you don't have to. It's OK to say "no."
There are plenty of investments that can help you grow your retirement savings (or whatever money it is you're thinking about investing) without putting your principal at risk (at least, not nearly as much as stocks). With today's CD rates, that money won't grow quickly, but it's a lot better than not saving at all. If you're going to spend most of your time worrying about losing your money on stocks, maybe investing somewhere safer will save you costly stress. (Yes, stress costs you, both in health effects and in well-being, which has a long-term effect on perceived wealth.)

Historically, stocks outperform everything else

Yes, it's true, the stock market is volatile. And it is possible to lose 20 percent, 30 percent or even your entire investment in one given stock (it's happened to me) if things go horribly wrong. But you can hedge, or greatly lessen, that risk by investing in stock index funds or other widely diversified mutual funds. And, over time, even in the worst of times, stocks have held their value and grown. You can pick a time frame of a few years that might show a great decline in a diversified basket of stocks, but if you pick a time frame over 10 years, it's highly likely you'll see modest growth -- and in some cases the growth is eye-popping.
If you're willing to wait long enough -- 30 years is, for the record, "long enough" -- you can be confident of receiving a stock market return that's significantly better than bonds or CDs. (Of course, historical returns are no guarantee of future results; they do, however, give many investors far more confidence about future results.)

Say 'yes' if you have the time to ride out the ups and downs

If you have 20 or 30 (or more) years before retirement, and your risk tolerance is at least fair-to-middling, you may decide it's worth the risk to invest in the stock market. Just about everyone will tell you to make sure your portfolio is diversified, so when you're risking money, you're not risking everything in one basket. But the thing about gaining wealth is that it does take swallowing some risk. You just need to figure out how much you can tolerate.

Should I Use a Broker?

Brokers, like, in Boiler Room?

Before we answer the question, "should I use a broker to buy and sell stocks?" we should distinguish what, exactly, we expect a broker to do:
  • All brokers are legally permitted to buy and sell stocks, bonds and other securities, like derivatives and commodities, on a stock exchange on behalf of a client.
Many brokers perform additional services (and if you've ever watched a movie featuring stock brokers, this is likely what they were doing):
  • Many brokers advise clients on which stocks and bonds to buy and sell, how much, and when
  • Some brokers provide additional financial services or recommendations, like asset allocation, estate planning, the tax impacts of certain investments, and even small business or real estate investment ideas. Such an individual might have an additional certification, like the Certified Financial Planner designation.

From the comfort of your own home

If all you want to do is to find someone to carry out an order as you execute it -- to make a specific stock purchase for you when you decide the time is right -- then you do need a broker (someone who, by virtue of having passed the Series 7 examination, is legally permitted to buy and sell stocks and bonds). But you don't actually need to have a personal broker; a person to whom you talk. Online brokerage firms which let you type in stock symbols and quantities of shares and click, "buy," will do just fine. You'll typically pay far less for the service, and you won't have someone's advice mucking up your investing chi.

Would you hold my hand?

If you, conversely, have no idea either what stocks you might want to buy or how to go about creating a "portfolio," or even only the vaguest idea what a portfolio is, you may be the perfect candidate for the sort of broker who calls you on the phone and says, "I want to see you in some GE stock pronto!" I speak from a very jaded perspective: my husband was once employed (until he couldn't take the culture any longer) by a prototypical "boiler room" style brokerage. And so I can say this: you do not need a broker who has come to you through cold calls or by having been referred by an acquaintance. These individuals are, more often than not, being encouraged to sell certain stocks and are less likely to be making decisions based on your needs; especially if they call you up out of the blue insisting that you need to "get in on the ground floor" of some specific investment.
You need a broker working for a bland, low-pressure firm, a so-called "storefront" brokerage where you can walk in and sit down at someone's desk and see that there's no one yelling or putting your name on a white board. You've surely heard their names on TV commercials and seen them downtown; ask around your office or group of friends and find out if anyone else you know has a recommendation (my advice: steer clear of relatives of people you know; in my experience one has a far lower bar for relatives than for less emotionally connected service providers).

DIY investing

If I taught personal finance in high school, I would tell my students to experiment with do it yourself investing and hope that began a lifelong interest in the market. Most studies show that highly-paid investment advisers and mutual fund managers aren't really much better at stock picking than random chance (if at all). In my opinion, it follows that you are the best one at picking stocks for you. If you read up on how to create a diverse portfolio, and how to (roughly) allocate assets, you will likely do a great job of picking out your own stocks. Maybe you are a coffee nut and you've found the next Starbucks. Maybe you've noticed a chain's stores are run-down in your city and you decide against investing in that company's stock. There are plenty of resources (like right here!) and it's possible to find investing clubs just about everywhere, where you can DIY together.

You need a brokerage

It's definitely the case (unless you yourself are a licensed stock broker) that, in order to invest in stocks and bonds, you need a brokerage. Whether it's an impersonal online brokerage with which you only communicate by clicks and all-caps letters and numbers, or an office where you can walk in and shake someone's hand, is a matter of personal preference. My own preference is to learn about stocks on my own and make decisions based on my values and financial situation. I am, after all, the one who knows me best.

Is 'Buy and Hold' a good investment strategy?

The buy-and-hold investing strategy explained

If you are trying to decide which investing strategy to use after having learned a bunch of new financial lingo, you might be thrilled to come across the buy-and-hold strategy. What you see is what you get! The buy-and-hold investing strategy is simple:
You purchase stocks and hold them for a long time, decades even, until you retire or even longer.
Phew. That was easy! Now, is it a good idea?

Warren Buffett does it. So how could it be wrong?

I believe in Warren Buffett. I'm the sort of fan who's read all the books and stood in line for hours to listen to him live (that's a good story for another time). It's really hard to argue with the third-richest man in the world, according to the Forbes 2012 World's Billionaires list. And Warren Buffett is a fanboy, too, of so-called "value investing"; the concept espoused by early investing great Benjamin Graham.
Value investing is almost just like buy-and-hold, but it's more of a focus on the stocks whose market prices (i.e. the value of the stock times the number of total shares) are less than their actual value, and hold them for years and years, or until the market price finally comes up to their real value.
This takes a lot of analysis, of course, which is supposedly what makes Warren Buffett so rich. But I'm tempted to believe it's not so much the careful monitoring of the value of the companies but the long-term, patient, unwavering holding that has made him rich. Sure, you've got to pick good ones to begin with. But when you're buying stocks with an eye toward holding them for decades, it's a lot easier to discard trendy companies or speculative, high-risk businesses.

'Buy and Hold' makes sense for everyone. Except…

I really believe in the buy-and-hold strategy, although there are certainly cases when one might want to get rid of a stock. Say, if it has gone bankrupt or the CFO has been indicted for accounting irregularities going back years (these are two examples of cases when I sold a stock; though, to be honest, in the second case I was too late to sell; the stock plummeted to $0 immediately). Or, if a company has done something you personally think is really stupid. Plenty of people sold tobacco stocks when they went before Congress insisting that their product was not addictive. But it's hard to find exceptions to the rule. Here are a few cases in which 'buy and hold' isn't a good strategy.
  • If you're a professional investor with great access to information and lots of technical knowledge and experience. This would seem to be a great time to throw out the buy-and-hold strategy, except for data that professional money managers can't even beat the stock market index funds over time.
  • If you don't have much money and want to own a diverse group of stocks. Well, in this case a stock market index fund might be a good choice for you. But it would still make lots of sense to buy the index fund and hold for a long time; knowing when to sell the fund (when the market was falling, theoretically) and rebuy (before it rebounded but JUST before) would be beating the market; and we just said that was near impossible!
  • If your risk tolerance is extremely high and you were born to be a day trader. OK, sure, go crazy if you think you can't live any other way. I did have one friend (one!) in business school who made his entire business school tuition day trading during our second semester. He went on to be a Wall Street trader (of course). But even he told me he didn't think this was something he could replicate. It was just him taking advantage of that notoriously irrational exuberance resulting in a one-time success.
I can't really think of any legitimate reasons not to use the buy-and-hold investment strategy. Given that, and the famously successful examples of that strategy, I think, for a beginning investor, it's a great way to dip your toe into the stock market.

Unconventional Ways to Earn Money in College

6. Blogging
People may laugh at you at first when you tell them that you are blogging to earn a little extra money, but it certainly is possible. Many people earn a full-time income from blog. It will take a little while to get enough traffic to start earning money, but the possibilities are endless after you are an established blogger.
If you want to start blogging, make sure that you are passionate about your topic because you will need to write a lot about it. The potential income isn’t the only benefit either. On top of paying for your school, it can also develop your writing skills and force you to learn a lot of transferable skills. Whether that is graphic design, website design, marketing, or just basic organization, it will help you with your future career.
7. Donate Blood / Plasma
While some people honorably give their blood as a donation, it is also possible to earn a little money for your blood. Many of my friends in college took advantage of donating their plasma. They were able to get $40 every time they donated and were able to do it multiple times a year. Looking at it from an hourly rate perspective, it is a great way to earn money and help you pay the bills.
8. Online Surveys
People often think this is a scam, but consumer information is extremely valuable to companies. It helps them market their products more efficiently for a larger profit, so they are willing to pay for useful information. It may take a little time to find the best program, but it could be worth the time and effort. It’s also something that you can do from any location and at anytime. How much more flexibility can you ask for?
9. Virtual Assistant
There are many sites out there that will allow you to work for other small business owners as a contract worker. This means that you will be hired to this or that in exchange for a preset price. While you may be forced to accept lower hourly rates at first because you are competing with international workers, with enough references and experience, you can demand a reasonable hourly rate. This too offers great flexibility and could easily turn into a long-term position.
10. Translations
Do you know a second language? If so, translating may be a great option for you. It will help you stay fluent in both languages and give you some easy money to pay for school. A co-worker of mine, who is currently a graduate student, makes some decent income doing regular translation work. While I don’t know how much he makes per hour, I do know that he continually gets faster and it helps pay his way through his graduate studies.
Earning money while in college is not only possible, but easier than it used to be. With the increased use of the internet, more and more options are available to you with increased flexibility in hours and location. While it may be beneficial for you to take a more conventional way to beef up your resume, earning money through an unconventional means can be a nice supplemental income.

Conventional Ways College Students Can Earn Money

1. Deliver Pizzas
This may not be your dream job, but it is a great way to pay the bills while you are in college. The traditional evening and late-night hours can make it easy to sign up for any class, regardless of the time it is offered, without having to worry about it conflicting with your work schedule.
While it typically does require you to have a car for the deliveries, it can pay well. You not only have a base hourly wage, but will receive pretty good tips each night. Everyone loves their pizza and big tips are not uncommon (although you will have some cheapskates that don’t give you a tip).
2. Tutoring
Tutoring is an excellent way to earn money as a college student. If you find a tutoring gig in your field of study, it will allow you to touch up your studies and get paid to do it. This may also be an excellent option for people aspiring to be teachers for their career. Another great benefit is the hours. Most of the time, tutoring hours are arranged around your schedule. This means that your studies can remain a priority.
3. Teacher’s Assistant
Another great way to earn money is to serve as a teacher’s assistant. This means a close connection with a professor and the possibility to get college credit while earning some cash. If you perform well (it would be hard not to), the professor can serve as a great reference for future job opportunities. Again, the hours are flexible and it’s usually not that hard of work. Some grading and other administrative tasks like copying, filing, etc.
4. Office Job
While it may not be the most exciting way to earn money, getting an office job, whether it’s on campus or off, is a great way to earn money while in college. It gives you great work experience that translates to almost every field and helps you pay the bills. Your friends may be laughing now while they sleep in before their first class at noon and you go to work, but you’ll have a much easier time getting a job after college.
5. Scholarships
Applying for both private and school-funded scholarships is a must as a college student. You may not think that you are smart enough, but there are many scholarships out there that may be perfect for you. The best part about scholarships is that it is a great return on your time investment. It may take 5-10 hours to apply for a few scholarships, but if you are successful, it could mean several hundreds of dollars per hour invested. Try to find a job with an hourly rate that compares to that figure.

10 Conventional and Unconventional Ways of Earning Money in College

his is an amazing guest post from one of my closest friend and fellow yakezie, Corey who blogs at 20′s Finances. He writes to give young adults the tools needed to conquer financial challenges. 
There are many times in a person’s life that are full of struggles, but probably very few that compare to the financial challenges of college. Staying in the black while you are in college is a difficult thing. Not only are you paying lots of money to further your education (in hope for getting a better job), but you are also pretty busy with your homework. Trying to find time to earn enough money can be a challenge, but it’s not impossible.

If you are thinking of using student loans to pay your way through school and figure out how to pay them back after you graduate from college, think again! There are several ways that college students can earn more money and it doesn’t involve going into debt.

While I didn’t go to the most expensive school, I was able to pay my way through college without going into debt. Graduating debt free has given me a lot of financial freedom and flexibility in life. Instead of having to work a job that I hate, I can choose it based on merit.

Earning money while you’re still in school can go a long ways. It may be difficult to know how to earn money while still focusing on school, so here is a list of 10 ways any college student can earn money. The list includes 5 conventional ways to earn money and 5 more unconventional ways. Sometimes you have to be creative.

The 3 easiest ways to earn more money

In the seemingly infinite universe of ways to make more money, there are really 3 models that are relevant to you.
Learn these and you’ll know 90% of the basic options to make more money.
Most people who say it’s impossible to make more money don’t realize this. Some insist that it’s flat-out undoable, while others take an all-or-nothing approach. “You’re not going to invent the next Google, so what’s the point.” Yet, in reality, there are 3 models virtually anyone can use to make more money.
Let’s cover them so we can have a shared understanding of how to earn extra money as we go into more detail.
Thanks to Rasteroids for the great design. If you’re looking for a designer, use them!
earn-more
I’m a big believer in not making things harder than they need to be. Sure, you could embark on a long, frustrating (and probably fruitless) quest to invent “The Next Big Thing” in social media or online gaming. But if you’re looking for the EASIEST and BEST way to make money, most people would be do well to stick to these three models.

The false ideal of originality

Originality is greatly overrated when it comes to earning more. Famous copywriter John Carlton once said that, in marketing, “the pioneers are the ones laying by the side of the road with arrows in their backs.” He’s referring, of course, to the delusional dreamers who thought they were inventing the next hot product but got burned by lack of research. Nobody wanted what these people were selling (no matter how much the creator loved it) and their quests to make more money became huge failures.
Think about it: isn’t that why we see so many reports about companies like Google and Facebook in the first place? Precisely because it’s so rare for people to get rich that way – and so common for people to fail? If creating the next Internet phenomenon were a reliable way to make more money, it wouldn’t be newsworthy!
That’s why these 3 models work so well. Not just because they’re simple, but because they’ve been TESTED by thousands of people before you. You aren’t staking your future on some random scheme that you “hope” will work. Instead, you’re applying your own talents to a proven model – which cuts your risk dramatically.

Which model is best for you?

Your job (now that you know about these 3 models) is to identify which one fits YOU best. Everyone is different. We all have unique circumstances, opportunities, strengths and weaknesses in front of us. For example: a college student working at a local grocery store probably isn’t going to negotiate a huge raise…but he could absolutely freelance. Conversely, a recent graduate who is two years into a corporate job is PERFECTLY positioned to negotiate.
The best way to make more money will vary depending on these types of circumstances. In any case, you should now have a much clearer understanding of HOW to make more money. The seemingly endless possibilities that overwhelmed you before are really just variations on the 3 models.

Now you know the basics. So how do you turn it into a consistent side income of $1,000+/month? Join my private Earn1K insider’s list to find out:

Most of my blogger friends would know how they can earn money online through their blogs via monetizing them. But not everyone has a blog, even though creating a blog is as easy as creating a Facebook profile. Maintaining a blog, however, is not as easy. Hence, for such people, there are various other ways through which they could earn an income.

Freelancing

I hope you most of you know what freelancing is. It is basically working for someone else online and getting paid for it. By far, this has proven to be the most popular and most paying alternative to a regular office job. And in many ways, freelancing is better than regular jobs. Firstly, you get to do the work that you choose, so that you have some interest in it. Secondly, there's a wide range of stuff you can do. You can write articles, translate papers, do programming assignments for somebody, or take up large corporate projects as a team. The upside to this is that, you earn good bucks. The downside is, yo have to abide by deadlines.

Freelancing

Freelancing is great. It's your own way of saying out to the world; hey! I am independent! I don't need a job! I have a life too! Although technically, you do have a job. But at this job, you can take a nap at anytime and do whatever you want, so long as you do your work.

Online Surveys

Online surveysThere are many websites out there that are looking for people who would help them in their research and fill out surveys for them. Their aim is to get feedback and do market research on a product. There are website that are dedicated to finding out surveys available for you. One good example is SurveyScout.

Write Articles

Freelance writing is another great way of earning online. If you like writing, or if you are good at it, then you should consider this. Writing quality articles can earn you thousands of dollars per month. All you need to have is the right focus and of course, a good publishing platform where you can submit your articles.


As far as publishing is concerned, you can either self-publish, or submit your article to an article directory. You can either create a blog for self-publishing, or use Squidoo or Hubpages. Click to learn more about earning money through Squidoo.

If you don't want to self-publish, you can submit your articles to the top sites that will pay you for them. This is one of the best ways of earning online. Be sure never to plagiarize, however. Unique content is appreciated, while plagiarism might result in a ban on you. So be original, and you will be fine.

Data Entry

Data Entry is another popular money earning technique used by many people. But I must admit, it is a boring and time-intensive work. There are a lot of companies that want you to do their laborious tasks for them, without hiring a professional for the job. Usually, these tasks are simple. Entering one form of data into a form, organizing data, removing mistakes and errors, and so on.

Surfing and searching

Did you know that you can get paid to search on the internet? No kidding! Since the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing etc are monopolizing the industry, other smaller engines are left out. So to keep themselves going, they invite net searchers to use their engines, and offer rewards in return. One such company is Swagbucks, that gives you the chance to earn up to $5 per search! It's a neat little trick and I know some people who have started doing this to earn money. Another is InteradMedia, that pays $0.001 per minute of active search. The money isn't very substantial, but what's the harm in getting a few extra bucks every now and then?

There's another alternative way! Some website pay you to surf them! SurfBounty is a good one. All you need to do is stay on that site for a few seconds to register a "surf". Sit back as the dollars add up! Sounds great huh?

Earn Through Skype

About a month ago, I wrote a post in length about earning money through Skype. You can follow it here: Earn Money through skype. But the bottom-line is, with Skype, you can provide services such as tuitions to other people, and charge them for the call through Skype Prime.

Q&A Websites

Some Q&A websites will pay you to answer questions! Q&A websites are all about question that people ask. People ask all sorts of questions on such websites. So the websites hire people to answer those questions. So if you have a good general knowledge, why not give it a shot?

Play games to earn money!

Every app developer needs beta testers, who have nothing to do with the development of the apps. This helps them remove bugs and errors. With games, this is even harder.It requires a lot of man hours to test a game. So there are many companies that pay people to play their games, and provide feedback. That way, they can know if the project would be a fail or a success.

Ebay

Ebay is an advertising website where people put up classifieds for for things they want to sell, and then buyers contact the seller to purchase that item. If you are good at bargaining, you can take a shot at this. Buy products at a reasonable price, and then sell them again for a profit! This is how real estate works, except in that case, they are dealing with lands and houses and large property.

This was an essence of some of the things that I have learned. But by no means are they all the ways there are. You can find more ways at our sister blog Smart Earning Methods. Thanks for reading :)
