For Scottrade, you'll need a minimum balance of $500. If you're working, it won't take too long to save that much. In fact, the main growth of your savings will come from regular savings, not investment growth, for quite a while.

Another idea is just to put the money in a mutual fund such as Vanguard Index 500. That's not too bad a place to go with if you're young and can't make up your mind. But, being young, you can afford to make mistakes, and still start over.

Remember that for small amounts of money, trading commissions are a large percentage, so you would not want to keep buying and selling stuff until you accumulate at least several thousand in capital. It won't take that long, if you save regularly.

If you want to practice day-trading, you can look for a free investment game online. You get virtual money, but bet on real stocks. But you have to stick with it for a reasonable amount of time, say, a year. Anyone could have one lucky shot (or one disaster) in a week, but that wouldn't give a flavor of what it's really like.

If you wish to invest in the stock market, you will need a minimum of $500, as commission fees will cut into profits. Also, many brokerages require you to invest a minimum of $500. You can, however, invest in forex (currency exchange) with a minimum of $250. You might want to check out Investopedia, as it has information on both stock investing and forex trading. I would suggest putting the money in a CD at your local bank for the time being, so you can earn interest, until you are confident in your investing/trading strategies. However, make sure you invest in short-term CD's so that your money is not locked up for extended periods of time in case you need it. Your best bet is to learn the differences in the two, what influences both, and decide which interests you most. Then, learn how to properly develop a strategy that proves to be profitable, through utilizing virtual accounts which are available on Investopedia as well as other financial websites. Once you are confident in your ability, remove your money from the bank and get to work. I hope this helped.

Good luck!

You can start an account at most investment firms for between $250 and 300 dollars. I know for a fact Scott and Stringfellow will let you open an account for $250. I think Edward Jones will start you off with $300.

So yes you can with $300. You really need to discuss your goals with an investment professional to decide exactly what you invest in.

$300 is not enough or worth your time to invest in anything stock related. Just put it in a high yield online savings account which will give you about 4-5% APY. You need at least $1,000 to try anything worthwhile with stocks.

1. it depends on your profile
2. yes, but more knowledge would be better.

invest in Unilever. You can buy multiple shares because they only cost 33 dollars. The stock market is not doing that great right now but you can trust UL. UL is name brand shampoos, butter, soap, and other household necessities. People are not going to stop buying this type of stuff, so you can expect for your money to grow.

most online brokerages will allow you to start with that much,,, no personal help though,,,, better pick a good stock though,, and hold it,,if you try day trading you will get burned on the commission.... you need to keep up with the daily market try reading everything you can get your hands on, take all advice and decide for yourself,, try www.thewallstreethunter.com they have good daily market updates, and good track record for stock pickss...


Good luck

Invest in Silver, often called "the poor man's gold". Silver used to be a monetary metal, and maybe some day it will be again. I've recommended silver before, and now I'm going to recommend silver again. Back in 1980, gold sold for 850 and silver sold for 50. Then, one ounce of gold would buy 17 ounces of silver. Today with gold near 900, one ounce of gold will buy a whopping 55 ounces of silver. It seems to me that silver, in terms of gold, is "too cheap."
