If you are starting with a modest amount, and are willing to read a little, you should use a low-cost brokerage like one of the on-line outfits. All of the large brokerages are more interested in customers with large portfolios, not surprisingly, so you are almost better off "on your own".
Brokers like eTrade.com, BuyAndHold.com & Sharebuilder.com will allow you to purchase small amounts of stock regularly for minimal commissions, and you can easily build substantial holdings this way without much effort on your part.
One "no brainer" strategy is to build shares in "widely-held" companies- if everyone else thinks it's worth owning, it becomes worth owning! (usually)... |

Try prosper.com. It's a new concept that makes a lot of sense and you can start off with a very small amount ($50 - $100). Basically you 'lend' money to others, usually at a much higher rate then you'll get with regular savings or investing. |

Sharebuilder is a good way to begin stock investing... lets you put set amounts in per month, for example, allowing you to buy fractional shares.
With a small amount of money to invest, I would avoid full service brokerages as their fees are higher and you really don't need their services. |

Look into a low cost overall provider
Fidelity Investments is very good
Vanguard has even lower fees but they aren't quite as friendly
Note that both have a web portal but provide a answers via phone or email - they both offer a financial advisor service for a fee
Scottrade is a low cost broker if you want to buy stocks at a low commission
Until you have alot to invest - still to the basics and invest in something like the following:
15 percent Vanguard Total Bond Index (VBMFX)
5 percent TIPS: Inflation-Protected Securities (VIPSX)
45 percent Vanguard Total Stock Market Fund (Wilshire 5000 ) (VTSMX)
20 percent Vanguard International (VGTSX)
5 percent Vanguard REIT (VGSIX)
and the 10% for mad money investing - ie investing in stocks recommended by your uncle , broker , or some guy on tv
Invest new money to keep the %'s correct - this is probably a good mix for folks that are 25 to 45 in age |

I use Scottrade. They offer $7 online trades. That is a good deal. If you are looking for investment ideas, you might want to look at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors.
Hope this helps. |

Scottrade, MBtrading, Xpresstrade...You're better off researching them yourself, than asking people on YAnswers. |

With a small amount to invest you don't need a brokers firm. They charge and often invest to benefit them NOT you. Start investing in an index mutual fund. Money mag or a web search can tell you which ones are good. |
