How A Student Would Invest

We all know yeety_man as one of the Juniverse’s most accomplished coders, but it turns out they also know a thing or two about investing! Here is their submission for the Investing Juniverse Challenge where they explain the benefits of index funds and passive investing while making sure to keep some capital set aside in extra safe assets like Treasury bonds!

A good way to invest is to cut your loses. Invest 1/12 of your money into your bank account. I would, personally, invest 1/2 in S&P500 because index funds mean that you own some of a company that owns some of other companies; this means that if a stock is not doing well, they will remove it from their index and replace -- and you never had to lift a finger. I personally think these are save bets and will definitely yield positively for your investment. I would finally invest in some riskier stocks for about 3/12 and with the final 1/6 I would invest in US treasury bonds -- another safe bet which will very much increase your wealth. Worst case, you probably end up with another $10,000 because you capitalized on your other investments, even if you lost 3/12 from the stocks.
