I'd like to invest in a couple stocks, but do not know how?
Well, I am thinking that I would like to experiment with the stock market a little. I am a college student though, so I don't have a lot of money to spare. I was thinking I would invest in maybe 2 different companies. How do I do this? Can I buy just 1 stock form each? (I'd like to spend under $100)

You can start by opening a DRIP account (you buy percentage shares - and the dividends are reinvested in more shares) through a participating company (no-load stocks). Some will allow you to open an account with a minimal investment - you'll need to find one that allows initial investments by non-shareholders.

You can go directly to the company - PepsiCo for example:

or Yum Brands:

Direct Stock Purchase Plans (DSPP):

But these require minimum investments - you'll have to hunt to find one to suit your budget.

The bank I use has people who will give U free investing advise and do any paper work for U. Check out your bank they may have the same set up.

The best you can do is put the money into an interest earning savings account. The major mutual funds want a minimum of $3000 to open an account. You could open an account with an on-line brokerage for $500. If you walked into a brokerage they would buy you the stock but the fees would be a minimum of $27 (Scottrade) + $25 for the stock certificate since $100 isn't enough to open an account. That means your stock share would have to more than double for you to just break even. When you do invest, stay away from stocks trading for under $5 until you have money you are willing to lose.

one stock is pointless, and the stock market is terrible right now. If the company goes up like a dollar (which is a huge jump), you make literally a dollar on each share, which in your case would be one share. But if you did decide to go through with this for some unknown reason, you would have to pay a stock broker to buy your stocks, and you would probably wind up paying him more to get your stocks than the stock would cost, if he would even buy on such a small scale. It's pretty much a waste of time.

You could experiment with stocks under a $1.00. Sure there a high risks involved but if a .10 stock went up to .15 you make a 50% return, and it happens a lot. Since you are experimenting and starting with a low sum of money, this may be agood way for you to get started.

$100 dollars honestly is not worth investing in the stock market. You will be better off keeping that in a high-yield online savings account that will give you a return of 4.5%-5.05% without any risk to your initial investment.

ingdirect.com 4.5%
emigrantdirect.com 5.05%
hsbcdirect.com 5.05%

These accounts are FDIC insured.

Investing in stocks takes a lot of knowledge so you need to know what you are doing or you will lose your money quickly especially the small amount you are talking about.

Amy, you should probably take that $100 put it in a savings account, or even better, an IRA. Start a systematic savings plan where you put in more on a regular basis. Once you have a few thousand take it to a brokerage firm. Mutual funds are like baskets of stocks. You might want to start with those because it is easier to buy more incrementally and periodically. It is really great that you start now! As soon as you get a job, try to maximize your 401K contribution. By the time you are 30, you will be amazed at how much you will have accumulated. Good Luck!

The cost of fees for investing will be too high. you will not make a profit by investing so little. purchase a CD (certificate of deposit) and add to it over time, also study the markets, (and how much risk you can take) and know what you wnat to invest in before buying what some one else tells you is good. Good luck!

We are members of Scottrade, you could go on line and check them out, we've learned all about stocks , buying and selling., after becoming members. Good Luck. You also could listen to Jim cramer on t.v. and radio, He gives alot of good advice. Scottrade charges $7.00, whether its for buying or selling.That goes to the trader who does everything for you after you decide what you want to do.

You can go for sogoinvest. Stock trading at $3 is really cheap.Fractional share investing, compound return, diversification, and dollar cost averaging, which are essential in a long-term investment plan are some of the good features available.Automated and real-time trades, fast executions, DRIPS, online funds transfers are also available.


leonard s
it would probably be best to invest all 100 in a no load mutual fund from one of the major investment firms. Also you should talk to the Representatives of the firms for more info they would be happy to supply it.The stock market can be like gambling even if your a professional investor, learn first before investing you will make more money that way.
