• What is the easiest way to get started in the Stock Market?

  I would like to put up about two hundred a month in the stock market just to have some forward investment’s that could teach me how to do it properly when I start making more money. I have the stocks all ready in mind that I want but should I get an e trade account or are there other places I could go to do very small trading and really control it myself.

    Any of the discount brokers should work well for you. I would pick a broker that has some educational webinars to help get you started. Don’t know if e trade has that, but TDAmeritrade does and they’re pretty good.

    Also, do you have a strategy and stock trading plan in place? Having that together can really help in your success. You can do really well with stocks with a good plan for strategy and risk management.

    Best of luck trading/investing.
