Susan asks…

How can you make money investing in stocks with sharebuilder.com or other sites that charge $4/trade?

Say an investor wants to start small with like $500.00 and the stock moves slow, each time I buy, I'm paying $4, does it pay to invest like this?

admin answers:

It's good way to invest in the stock market. $4 is definitely the lowest comission you will pay for a stock purchase. But I wouldn't go that route unless you have at least $100 to invest every month or week or whatever. You never want to pay more than 4% for commissions.

Betty asks…

18 and looking to start investing in stocks to make money?

What would be your advice on starting with this should I go to a company should i use like e trade what kind of things should I invest In how much do I need to get started is it possible to make thousands out of only a few hundred in a short ammount of time?

admin answers:

Let me start off by saying that you should NOT in any way expect to make thousands out of a few hundreds in a short amount of time. You should not pay any attention to these kinds of stories.

The stock market is a risky endeavor. However, it is not that hard to make some money in the stocks but it will take time. As an investor myself, I believe that the stock market is best used as an investment vehicle for long-term gains. All those stories that you may hear about people who are worth millions of dollars and have money in stocks, most of them probably have had their money in the stocks for many years, around 20-30 years, sometimes longer.

To get started, I recommend that you read a few books on investing:
"A Random Walk Down Wall Street" - Burton Malkiel
"The Intelligent Investor" - Benjamin Graham

admin answers:

You need to do a lot more research first.

However, I will cut to the chase and tell you the bottom line if you are willing to listen: You cannot "make a little extra money" this way." $100 a month is index mutual fund make money in 10 years money. $100,000 is open a brokerage account make money in a couple of years money. $1 million is open a traders account live off the income money.

There are lots of people who will tell you differently, but they are either liars or fools.
