I'm a young 2nd year CS student at a Melbourne university. I have one or two thousand dollars I would like to play around with. Well not play around with - I don't want to waste this money - I want to invest it. I just want to do it in a way where I learn some new skills or have an interesting experience. Talking to my friends we came up with stocks, gold or some kind of small business. All of which I know sweet all about. So I thought I might ask you guys.
Honestly? If you haven't got a sound idea on how to invest it, I would say leave it in the bank and accrue interest until you've got a decent idea on what to do with it, otherwise you run a high risk of essentially blowing it.<p>If you're still adamant about blowing your cash, might as well spend it on something tangible like towards a new macbook pro or something.
