My employer is offering to help us open an investment account with Vanguard. (We are part-time and don't get 401K) They don't charge a fee to help invest. We received a booklet of the "portfolios" (I think) that they offer and we were supposed to choose which one we feel is best for us. I would really like to start making investments towards my future. But I can't make heads or tails of anything written in this book or how to choose the right package.

I know there's risk in any investment, but does anyone know about Vanguard from personal experiences? Does anyone have any advice? Please no fancy financial language. (That's what lost me.)

Vanguard is a great mutual fund company. They have been on the forefront of keeping fees low for years. Look in your information and see if one of the funds offered is their "Standard and Poor's 500" fund. This S&P 500 fund is the perfect place to make your early investments for the future. Their fees are low. Their turnover is very low (due to the fact it's investments are dictated by the S&P. Your risk is spread out over 500 great companies. If this fund is available...I suggest you go for it. Good luck!

Only one reserve I find about Vanguard, I have 302 buyers
for their 4 premiums and they are making good profitting in
shares as well as vanguards special action in mineral golds,
resources. This is an older traditional company only reserve
as I mentioned is if you are directly over a mine, a land reserve,
or a trading point. Jet air, or train yard companies will compete
with those blocks. If you are clear and 99% are, it is a good
club. Check into the portfolio as if you were looking for a job,
an ideal area of something that interests you quite dedicated.
The counsel you get will be able to upgrade you later if you are
versed and truly interested in this young companies activity.

my company's 401K also uses vanguard. Their mutual funds has been performing well for me so I would definitely recommed it. A good strategy is to spread out the investment so you can reduce your risk. For other investment ideas, see http://ibooyah.com
