Young Investors Can Get Richer

But as scary as stocks may look, keeping huge portions of your money in cash earning next to nothing isn't a good long-term answer. If you have a definitive plan on what to do with that money -- waiting for pricey stocks to come down to more reasonable valuations, for example -- then that's fine. But I suspect that most young investors are keeping cash levels high just because they don't know what else to do. For that fear, I have two simple solutions. One is to dollar-cost average into the market with broad market ETFs. Another solution is to focus on conservative, low-volatility stocks.

For most young people, investing success doesn't come naturally. You have to work and get familiar with investments before you can expect to master them. But with some courage, you can get out of the cash trap that many young investors have fallen into and instead make sure your money is working hard enough for you to give you the prospects for the more prosperous future that you deserve.
