I suggest you put that money in a stock with a high dividend yield. World Wrestling Entertainment (Ticker: WWE) has a dividend of approximately 6%, which works out to a payment of about $75 every three months. You can save that money or use it towards buying textbooks etc. for school. The company is healthy, so you won't be losing your investment. I suggest you go this route only if you want to invest for the long-term. Another company to consider: General Maritime Corp. (Ticker:GMR) with an 8% yield (although this yield tends to fluctuate over the years).

Try this stock:
China Mobile (CHL). Growth in population in China as well as expanding economy make this sleeping giant a perfect play. The stock is $43 with a forward p/e of 17 and pays a 4% divvy. China is one of the best economies in the world right now. All our jobs are going there.
So you not only get the POPULATION growth, you also get ECONOMIC growth as well!!
CHL has 1 billion in potential new customers. It's also hedge against the falling dollar. Chinese people often don't have computers so the phone they buy will be their access to the Internet. Google and CHL just inked a deal that let's CHL suscribers get on the internet via phones.
CHL is a monopoly that is protected by the Chinese government. CHL is also the industry leader with 65% market share. Superb balance sheet. It's stock price is trading at a discount to its growth rate.
China is where the growth is right now, you want to be in this stock. By 2010, this stock will double and you get the divvy to boot.

$5000 is nice, but not a lot of money. You need to keep some money in reserve for emergencies and the unexpected. If this is all you have right now, then keep it is an easily accessible investment vehicle - like it a short-term CD, rolling every 60 days or so.

I'd either put the money in a large-cap mutual fund (has low volatility) or put the money in bonds or a bank CD. Since you are still young you will probably need the money soon so i would stay away from stocks, which are usually volatile(price goes up or down drastically). Also, if you put your money in a CD or bonds get them with a 6 month maturity date for liquidity purposes.

If you are a college student then chances are you will be needing that money as soon as you graduate. That should be this year, I would think. Better just put it into the bank, for that time.

A condo near your college. Rent out the spare room.

Learn about investing first yourself, don't trust so many people as no-body has a crystal ball. Knowledge is power. Since you are young, that is my best advise.
