When I was a newbee to stock market and wanted to jump right into it, I just went ahead and ught a mutual fund that tracks S&P 500 index. If you do not know Standard and Poors (S&P) 500 index is composed of 500 largest US companies. These 500 companies account for about 70% of US companies by market value.
So, when you buy such a mutual fund, you are basically following the most important fundamental law of investing which is diversification. Even if you start with $50, you will be investing into 500 companies which span across different businesses.
Start with such a mutual fund. Jump into the market with this. And then as you read more, and learn more, you can pick up individual stocks.
