  1. investment depends mainly on two factors one time horizon, second risk taking ability. as you are clear on these two then can proceed further.


  2. You have the most greatest stuff in your property. That you spent your money for your mortgage that carries your stuff in your house. So anyway, your investments are the clothes, jewelery, T.V. food, cosmetic stuff and computer. That you spent $1,000,000.00 for your stuff in your house is the most in your property. But first, you may get a job for your money: $1,000,000.00.

  3. Call Etrade to open an account but, if you have 500.oo or more is better if you open an account with Scottrade call and they'll give you more information.

  4. The first thing you need to do is educate yourself.  There are many investing books and online tutorials out there.  I would recommend Investopedia ( http://www.investopedia.com/ ).  It's an excellent web resource about the stock market.

    If you have no idea what stocks or bonds to invest in, I would suggest that you go with a mutual fund, which is a collection of stocks and bonds.  They are professionally managed so you don't have to worry about making the right picks and they are also diversified making them less risky.  An alternative to mutual fund investing is ETF investing.  ETFs track index funds, and again, because they are diversified, they are less risky.

    When you are ready to invest, you will need to open a brokerage account to make your trades.  There are full-service brokers and discount brokers.  Full-service brokers provide advice, but they are much more expensive than discount brokers.  I prefer online discount brokers because they are cheap and convenient since I can make all my trades at a computer.

    I currently use Firstrade ( http://www.firstrade.com/ ).  They are cheaper than the big name brokers like Scottrade, Etrade, Ameritrade, and Schwab, so you pay less commission and keep more your profit.  I believe that they are an excellent choice for beginners because they have an easy to use website and excellent customer service.  They also have no minimums so you can invest as little as you want and, therefore, risk losing less.  I would definitely recommend you to check them out.  Good luck.
