HopeIsTheThingWithFeathers asked:


I am only 19 and would like to start investing in some stocks. I don’t know how to do this. But I am not much of a gambler, so I would like to invest under 200. I saw I could buy Apple stock for 119, but I don’t trust the website. Any suggestions or comments???

   Buy ‘One up on Wall St.’ by Peter Lynch and educate yourself first. Buying one share of stock isn’t gonna get you anything. You might as well save it in a bank account.

   Investing in “individual” stocks takes a lot of knowledge and practice; so I would not suggest doing this until you understand completely how the stock markets work.

   Unless you have at least $3,000 dollars to invest the stock market probably is not worth the effort.

   The websites below all contain plenty of FREE information to get you started in the right direction.

   BEWARE - the stock market is not as easy as it may appear. You have to know what you are doing or you might as well throw your money in the garbage can.
