Stock market starter...?

Question

I overheard some guys at the office talking about their stocks on etrade or some other site. I was wondering are these sites worth it? I dont know stocks, is it spelled out for me? Can I get into something without having to drop a couple grand, cause a couple grand, is a couple grand. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Before you spend any money, try to learn what to do, how to do it and why you're doing it.

Answer 2

Before you do any buying head to the library and take out a few books on the stock market.  Even if all you learn is the terms used.  Researching before you buy will save you some headaches.

I use Scottrade.com myself. I would read "The Intelligent Investor"  first though.
