What do you think about investing in stocks as a beginner? I think the stock market can be a smart thing to experiment in even without much experience, in contrast to most advice given. My reasoning is that you can "practice" picking stocks for a very small amount of money- even under $100. You can buy just 1 stock option and though you won't make much, you won't lose much either and you'll have experience of watching the market. Sure you can argue that you can study the market without putting your money into it, but I think having something on the line- even if it is only a $20 stock option- keeps your attention and diligence. I am inexperienced with stock trading- it's been years since I've owned stock- but I'm smart, I have a financial mind, and I am a quick study. I think I want to take a few hundred dollars and spread it over a handful of well-picked stocks and watch it for a few months to see what happens. Maybe I'll make a profit, maybe I won't. But I'm not risking much. If you disagree, please explain your logic. Thank you! what do you think about zecco.com?

Beginner to the whole investing Shin-dig? Hi there, So I'm an 18 year old college sophomore looking to save up for med school. Thing is because of today's crippled economy a steady job isn't really that easy to come by. I have some money saved up and thought I'd put it to work. A friend tells me the best thing to do (other than CDs and savings accounts--which have DREADFUL rates, by the way) is to invest it in the market. So I'm here to take up his offer. However, before I even attempt to pretend that I know what I'm doing, I wanted to read up on "playing the stock market". So here are my humble requests: 1) Do you know of any good sources for literature on the stock market? Do books outweigh the available online sources? What are your recommendations? 2) I heard there was a stock market "game" online and I think it would be a good way to test my knowledge. Is it worth the effort or should I just "jump in"? 3) If you were me, how would you start investing your money? Where would you put it? And how much of it? Thanks!

I am new to investing in stocks. Which is best for a beginner...Sharebuilder, Sogoinvest, or Firstrade? I do not have the thousands of dollars most companies need as a minimum. I will not be putting alot in the market or be tracking stocks on the regular, but I want to start somewhere. I understand that bothe Sharetrader and SogoInvest have automatic options, Sharetrader is $4 to buy and $16 to sell. Sogoinvest is $3 to buy, and $3 to sell. It seems to be a no brainer, but I have heard only good things about Sharebuilder and few things about Sogoinvest...plus Sogoinvest requires a $500 minimum. Please give me the pros and cons of each. I am also looking at Firstrade as an alternative...from what I have read, it is geared more to an intermediate/advanced user, and is more expensive than the other two. Any help would be appreciated. Well, I looked in the Bank of America advise (I have a Bank of America Campus Edge account also)...Their rate is $10...not $5. I really wanted to go with Zecco, but I am not comfortable puting in $2500 into a company that's as new as it is. Therefore, I am focussing on Sharebuilder and Sogoinvest. I feel these are my best bet. Sharebuilder is so darn high in terms of selling, but I believe your money earns interest as it sits, has been around longer, and the website seems easy to navigate. Sogoinvest is super cheap to sell, but is fairly new to the game, and the website isnt as clean in my opinion. Now, the question is...which of these two my best bet? Keep in mind that I plan on a "buy and hold" strategy with the occasional (if that) sell once I get the swing of playing the stock market. I also have a 401K plan that is my primary security blanket. This little venture will serve as a secondary nest egg.

Beginner in investing...stocks, mutuals, ETF...which do I choose? I just graduated from college and got a job, but no 401k is offered, so I wanted to try saving up my money on the side.

Can anyone explain to me in VERY BASIC TERMS what a stock, mutual/index fund, ETF (and anything else I might want to consider) is and which one might be good to start with? Thank you in advance! I know there are many websites online explaining the differences between all of these, but I get really confused with the jargon, which is why I need someone to explain in basic terms. Thanks :)

Stock Market for a Beginner? I have never ever done any kind of investments, stocks, bonds, or whatever its all called. Ive always been interested in it, and always wanted to learn as much as I could about it. I am a complete idiot when it comes to the stock market, dont know anything, and so far online all I can find are articles for people who already know the basics of investing. And even when I find something for a true beginner, I still cant understand where its coming from and what I have to do to learn. If anyone has personally used a good book or DVD, that basically went from step one, to the last step of personal investing, even if its a few books to make a set, please let me know about them and tell me what they were like. Also I know a lot of people that have had someone invest for them, and they have profited quite a bit, but Im hard headed and am the kind of person that wants to learn and practice what Im interested in, not have someone do it for me. Thanks for any advice, appreciate it.

I'd prefer short-term cash return (definately less than a year). Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks
Buying stock and investing? Hi, I want to start investing but I really don't know where to start.

I would greatly appreciate if one can go through the steps with me and give me some tips that I can use to help me as a beginner.
What books would you recommend for investing on the stock markets? I'm about to start investing on the stock market and I'm looking for some books that could deepen my knowledge in this field.

On Amazon.com I see tons of books of this subject, but it is very hard to decide, which one is worth to buy/read. I've read "Edwin Lefèvre -- Reminiscences of a Stock Operator". Very good book indeed.
