Shakwon | How hard is it for an average person to get into the stock market on their own and actually make some money? |
I wonder does one need a stock broker or a whole lot of money to succeed. Also is there a high risk of losing all of your money? |

The interenet has made the process darn near painless. You can invest without a stock broker through what are referred to as DRIPs--direct investment plans. Some companies allow you to do so. But it is a lot easier and more simple to just use a broker.
There is not a high risk of loosing all of your money but there certainly is a risk of loosing money. The rewards in general outway the risks.
You do not need a whole lot of money, but probably at least $3000 although Scottrade will allow you to open an account with only $500. Some brokers do not even have a minimum.
Most no load mutual funds have a minimum investment amout of about $2500 to begin investing in one of their funds. That is a very popular investment vehicle. Another popular investment vehicle is ETFs--exchange traded funds. These have become wildly popular in the last 5 to 10 years. You buy them like stocks. SPY is one of the most popular. It is indexed to the S&P 500.
Generally speaking investing in a mutual fund or ETF is much less risky than investing in an individual stock but also perhaps less rewarding. Few people have ever lost all of their money investing in mutual funds, but certainly some have. Some people have however lost a considerable amount of money investing is some mutual funds. Many of those who invested in Growth Funds during 2000 are still not back to where they began. |

To invest in "individual stocks" effectively takes a lot of time and effort; which most people sitting at home working 40 hours a week do not have.
However, investing in a "quality" mutual fund from a company such as vanguard.com is a very good option for the average guy or gal sitting at home. You will need $3,000 as an initial investment to get into a "quality" mutual fund. |

It is very easy to get into the stock market nowadays. Just sign up with a broker like Scottrade, or E-trade.
It is very easy to make money in the stock market, but like most things, what you get out of it, is directly dependant upon what you are willing to put into it. For the first few years it takes a great deal of study and research to pick winning stocks, but with experience it gets easier. The absolute most important thing for a beginner to have is patience. Too many beginners feel like they have to put all their money into the market "Right Now" The key is to wait for the right oppurtunities. Be patient. |

It is easy to enter the market. However, it is also easy to lose your money.
Speculative investments can be dangerous.
Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.
Go to : low-cost-stock-recommendations
.com
Click on the "DRIP's" Button on the Navigation Bar
These powerful investment plans are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.
They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. They are a must for any serious investor.
If you decide you are interested in DRIP Plans, I believe there is instructions on the webpage.
I strongly recommend looking into it. They are great plans.
Good Luck |

If you invest in the wrong stocks you can lose all of your money.
With that said, good luck. |

It is not hard to get into the stock market.
It is extremely difficult to make money, since the market is set up to take money from the average person.
Stock brokers work on commission, it is likely they will not help you, and may possibly churn your account for the commission fees.
There is always a risk of losing all of your money. A better alternative would be a mutual fund or a high-interest CD. |
