i like scottrade but look around im sure you can find other low commission trading sites such as e-trade and ameritrade.

It really depends on how much you are willing to invest

buy one share of stock that has dividans and buy more through re investment without paying commissions

Try a no-load mutual fund.

I just recently started investing. After much digging I found that http://www.sharebuilder.com had the lowest commissions if you only invest on tuesdays. how it works is you pick your stocks indexes etfÂ´s and such through the week, telling it how much of what to invest in, then when tuesday hits, it buys them up.

I started with as little as 50 a week, but you can move up and down on that. You can also do real time trades but those are expensive. if you want a free account with once a week investment, sharebuilder is nice. If you want to control your trades, www.scottrade.com has a $7 commission.

Of course, take all this with a grain of salt, I just started a few months ago myself. (And have made only about 300 bucks, but its 300 i didnt have before!)

First off open up a savings account at http://www.ingdirect.com ... put at least 6 months worth of gross pay into it and treat that as an emergency fund only touching it when you really need it...

Once that is done then you can start a portfolio...

You can go too http://sharebuilder.com and open up an account there too buy stocks, funds, or etf's ....there is no minimum and you get a $25.00

or

You can go too your local broker
and open up a Roth IRA

Remember too start early and and too keep your investments up don't miss any if you can help it.
