Investing with a small amount of money-Where should I invest?

[Sandy Uhlmann]

My son has a very small Coverdale Education Account of which I am the custodian until he is 21. It has just under $3000 in it at present.  I converted it to a self directed account so I can have more diversified investment options with it however I am finding it difficult to invest with such a small amount of money.  I know that tax liens seems like a nice investment however it is a bit difficult to accomplish with his SDIRA company custodian.  If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks
