anurag_sethi7 | Introduction to stock market? |
I have few questions about the market. First of fall tell me which stock broker I should choose scottrade or motley fool or any other? Secondly how does buying and selling works: like is there any minimum limit that you have to buy at least 500 dollars or more worth shares to invest money in. Suppose i want to buy only 5 shares of ebay is it possible. Thirdly I dont exactly know what options are and how do they work, I would like to learn about them. And in order to give a start myself first I just wana buy two or three companies stock. I have done my research and know where I have to invest but I don't know the procedure. Also at the same time I am not a bigger investor and I don't want to end up paying my profits to brokers as commission. It was very hard for me to save 500 dollars to open an account. Also let me know is there any book which gives you the technical know how of stocks. Like how to read charts and what to look for in company's financial reports. |

Q:First of fall tell me which stock broker I should choose scottrade or motley fool or any other?
A: Scottrade is good, if you only have $500 go with them. Motley fool is not a broker. They sell research information and news letters.
Q:Suppose i want to buy only 5 shares of ebay is it possible.
A: Yes it's possible, but not very cost effective with a broker. If you only want to buy 5 shares at a time I recomment you go with a dividend reinvestment plan, or DRIP.
Check out this Web site on Direct Investment Plans where you can buy shares directly from companies: (http://www.fool.com/school/drips.htm).... Usually no fees and you can buy one share at a time.
Q: Thirdly I dont exactly know what options are and how do they work, I would like to learn about them.
A: If you're new to the market, first you must understand what makes stocks go up and down, before you get into options. Options are very complex and not for the novice trader.
Q: Also let me know is there any book which gives you the technical know how of stocks. Like how to read charts and what to look for in company's financial reports.
A: Here's a excellent list of books for you to start with... These cover most of the basics and after you read them, I can recommend some good books on options.

Investopedia is the place I learned all the ins and outs of investing.
Zecco.com is a $0-commission broker, tradeking.com is $4.95 per trade, you have to shop around.
The only minimum you'll have to worry about is account minimums, if your broker even has them at all. I know Tradeking doesn't. You could buy just 1 share of ebay if you wanted.
Don't worry about options. You're very newbish at investing. Options are contracts that you buy. The contract simply grants you permission to buy a stock at a specified price. These investments are called derivatives, and are really mastered by seasoned investors who know what they are doing when it comes to the market. So, I suggest studying about it first, and investing for a period of time before getting into derivatives. |

There is a stock trader called ZECO.
It has a minimum of 2500 to start but you dont have to pay any commision per trade.
With Scottrade it cost 7 dollars to tade and 7 dollars to buy.
So just figure 14 dollars for every trade. It adds up quick. |

You can use your $500 to open an account at Scottrade. Until you have around $3000 saved, I would invest in an indexed mutual fund, maybe from vanguard. Best book to learn about the market: "The Little Book that Beats the Market". My favorite website is http://.www.top10traders.com
My favorite technical indicators are PE ratio, PEG ratio, and return on assets.
good luck. |

The best intro book I've read about stock options is "Understanding Options", by Michael Sincere.
http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Options-Michael-Sincere/dp/0071476369/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-3087144-9483342?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183243833&sr=8-1
It is written in a very easy to understand language and is aimed at beginners. It's only 200 pages, and you'll get through the book easily. I enjoyed reading it, as I am interested in many different aspects of investing. He really does a good job of debunking myths about options. I learned enough to know that options are not for me. But at least I understand why I do not want to participate in options, instead of just saying, "they are too risky". Turns out that some options are not nearly as risky as others. Also, if used correctly, options can reduce your losses.
I've also read Futures and Options for Dummies, which I thought was too complicated. |

1) Zecco.
2) Every company has their own rules. In the case of Scottrade is $500.00, TradeKing is $1.00
3) You can buy one share of Ebay if you want.
4) Stay away from options. Those are for professionals only.
5) Zecco is FREE |
