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, click on the advertisement on the same page "$4 to purchase stocks". This will answer your next question, which is, How do I get started? and what is the least expensive way to get started?
I strongly recommend looking into it. They are great plans.
Good Luck |

You should start off with mutual funds from a company like vanguard.com until you really understand how the markets work. Investing in "individual stocks" takes a lot of practice and knowledge, and they are very difficult for a new investor. |
|
Common Sense
|
A. Never take "tips" from strangers, friends, family, TV, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines or anyone else.
B. Never invest in anything you don't fully understand.
C. Don't make the most common mistakes of new investors,
like;
Buying "penny stocks" (stocks under $5).
Not reading several books on the subject.
Don't "believe", "expect", "hope" etc. when it comes to a
stock.
D. Understand "asset allocation". Understand "position sizing" |

It seems to me that you should perhaps start off with a low cost mutual fund run by a professional until you have better understanding of the stock market.
There are sites such as E-Trade that allows you to review stocks and make purchases, but picking random stocks is a risky proposition.
Mutual funds will get you involved in the stock market and your will be diversified so that a professional can manage your money picking greater number of stocks than you can do on your own. Also the manager can help you choose funds that is right to your age and to your level of risk.
I had the same notion as you almost 7 years ago and lost a little money. I think if I had gone the route of the mutual funds earlier, I would have been more successful. |

Believe me when I say, Educate yourself first before you jump in the markets. Right now is not the best time for a beginner to just hop in. You will get murdered, as Im sure you are aware, many professional investors are getting hammered as well.
Second, dont take stock recommendations at face value. Learning to properly research stocks on your own, and check the findings of another investor will make and save you money.
There are many free sites out there to help educate people.
MotleyFool is one of them.
My site, provides education along with trade recommendations.

A good amount to start with is whatever you can afford to LOSE. I know thats not what people want to hear, but thats the truth.
But if you can afford it, $5000 is not a bad number to start with. More is better though.
My last bit of advice, is please stay away from penny stocks. Meaning stocks that end with ,otc, .bb, .pk and so on. Many times, people who are recommending these stocks are also beginners. Or, they are looking to off load the stock they own to beginners who will buy into the hype. Dont waste your time or money.
