How to buy stocks for dummies etc? What is the least amount of money that you can invest in?

. asked:


I would like to learn the basics of buying stocks or learning how to buy stocks that would give me a good return on my investment. The issue is I would like to know if there is any solid advice one should know before investing in as well.

More or less I would like to know how you can buy stocks online as well. Do they charge a fee for one stock at a time to buy online or you can pay a monthly fee to trade stocks for a set price?

I would like to know the best way to seek out a stock broker to trade for you as well as a good guide?

    Get help from a big broker, like E.F. Hutton or Fidelity Investments. They will hold your hand and help you set goals.

    1. Decide on whick stock to buy.
    2. Sign up to a broker - place the order for whatever amount you can afford.
    3. Celebrate your buying a portion of the XYZ company.

    Solid advice: Let your profits run., cut your losses quickly. Protect your capital!

    There is no monthly fee - the brokerage is per trade.

    Best way to seek out a broker? By recommendations on the price of brokerage and service.

    Don’t trade, buy and hold something of good quality. Many companies will let you even buy partial shares direct from the company if you don’t have much money. You’ll save commissions that way.
