A few years ago the "talking heads" of the financial media were discussing this subject and one person gave details about how he would have a minimum of 11 stocks to be diversified. I don't believe $1000 is enough to get enough shares of 11 "good" stocks to make it worthwhile. For beginners, I prefer a good well diversified mutual fund as a "core holding." Once you have a good amount in that, you can branch out to stocks. There are several good funds you can open with $1,000, one (not a recommendation, just one of my favorites, do you own research) is Vanguard's Star Fund. |

I would say that it's going to be very difficult to diversify (if not impossible) and recommend that you look at mutual funds. The average investor doesn't pick stocks too well because it's difficult to get it right everytime. A well diversified no load index fund can be an excellent starting point because of the no load, very low ongoing fees and 75% of managed funds don't beat the index anyway so you are likely to come out on top by not picking stocks and instead on finding a good fund. What ever you do be very careful about fees and comissions because they can kill your return on smaller investments. |

Glad to hear you're getting into trading stocks. It can be very exciting and rewarding.
But you should do your research and be careful about managing your picks.
How many different stocks you pick is probably going to depend more on what kind of commissions you'll be paying with your broker.
You'll most likely pay commissions per trade, (and then possibly also on how many shares you buy).
So obviously the more trades you make (i.e. the more stocks you buy) the more you'll pay in commissions.
With $1000, you're probably wise to look at only 2-3 stocks.
Check out http://www.intradaytrades.com if you're interested in a trading strategy that could work for you to get started.
The Swing Trading strategy is likely the one that will suit your style best. |

Don't trade stocks, just invest in stocks instead. Read the book "One Up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch - it talks about long-term investing. |

With $1000 you won't be able to "trade" as commissions will eat up too much of your profits. If you want to "invest" then you have enough to buy an ETF or two, which I highly recommend for people who want instant diversification. For more on ETFs, as well as some specific ETFs you could use to structure a portfolio (or even a trade), check out http://www.valuestockreports.com/021907.htm |
