 I've done quite a bit of reading about index funds and I would like to invest in the s&p 500. How do I buy it? |
Every time that I go to an investing site all they show is mutual funds, and I am presented with a long list of mutual funds to pick from. Is there a way to just buy a share of the S&P 500?

You can start investing in the stock market with $75. And you can open a very effective long-term investment vehicle in the process.
Look into DRIP Plans.
They 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.
The best part is you get solid annual returns from well-known, safe Blue Chip companies like: McDonalds, General Electric, Pfizer, Walmart, US Bancorp.......etc........
They are inexpensive to start and maintain, and your dividends are reinvested for free.
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.
Nobody will laugh at you. You can open a DRIP Plan with as little as one share.
Good Luck |

This is a difficult question, you have to look at the cost as a percentage of your investment. You also have to consider diversification.Or if you lose money on your first investment So it could be £100 but I would suggest realistically about £2000 (which is small by brokers standards: £10000+) |

Just go on-line with a no load / no help company. And start with mutual funds. The minimums are VERY low. (Less than $100.)
This is your best way to get your feet wet as well as get a diversified portfolio of stocks. (Especially considering you're looking for a low minimum.)
After you get the hang of it and build some wealth... you should seek some professional advice. You'll be fine. |

Start with some fake money. I mean this so you dont make the wrong choice a give your money away to brokers with hidden fees or invest in risky stocks. Take some time and really do your homework. This pretend invest will be the most beneficial in your investing career. It will open you eyes to new possibilities and problems that you never thought you would encounter before. I would also recommend a few sites for further information http://www.fool.com/ has a great discussion board where seasoned professional will answer your questions and http://yourmoneymatters.webs.com/ is a new site that has basic tips for beginners. |

If you go with a no load mutual fund, about $2500. I started with $300, I think but that was a long time about. That would be about $3000 in today's money, maybe more. Inflation is terrible. You can invest in stock at Scottrade.com with $500. There are a few on line brokerage sites that actually do not have any minimum at all. But for argument's sake call it $500. |

It would be very foolish to invest in the US equity markets right now, unless you can wait 10 or 20 years for a 5-10% return. I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with this and will vote me down, but foreign equity markets are the place to put money for long-term growth. Not only because of their inherent growth potential over US markets, but also because of the additional boost they will add to your portfolio as the dollar continues to lose value relative to many foreign currencies and gold. |

$500-$1000. That investment place you are talking about would be a brokerage firm. Most large banks have brokerage firms attached to them. Banks would be a good place to start or check out (Etrade, Charles Schwab, sharebuilder) |
