What type of legit investment opportunities are there for me?

Question

I don't really know how stock works, I make a decent income- wondering if there is something solid to invest in like a stock or something.

Answer 1

You need to do a LOT of research and become conversational in the subject before putting in your money. Do some paper (pretend) investing. If you aren't willing to become an expert, then put your money into something without risk to the principal. You want to also put it in the market. An 'Equity Indexed Annuity' would do best, offering both features.
