1. Video company? Do you mean like Netflix, a company that rents videos, ticker NFLX price about 31.40, or a company that produces video cameras, like Canon , ticker CAJ price about 49.00, or a company that produces commercial videos like Time Warner, ticker TWX price about 14.60. The brokerage commission is about $7.00 to $10.00 to buy or sell a stock so you want to invest enough money so that the commission to buy and sell does not take too large a portion of your investment, not over about 5% maximum. That would mean you should invest at least $400. You can open an account with Scottrade for $500. I do not believe that TD Ameritrade has a minimum but I am not certain on that point. Here is the link to Scottrade http://www.scottrade.com/
2. Why are you wanting to invest specifically in this area? Your question seems to lead me to believe you are new to investing. There are multiple things you need to consider before investing like this. See the link below for some free advice that will help you sort out your objectives and help you set a plan. As far as how much? This makes little sense.
