(note: i actually did this) to cover the cost for commissions i would suggest you invest in greater quantities, so the commission seems insignificant. if youwant to invest with a small amount of money, then i suggest that you don't. i am currently investing with around $50,000. hope this helps, if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at berelane@yahoo.com 8-10 is pretty reasonable. if i bought 300 shares of stp and it went up $2.8 like it did today and then sold i would have made 840-20=$820.

I wouldn't discourage you from investing in the equity markets but individual stocks are probably not the best vehilcle for you. I would encourage you to consider investing in mutual funds and let the professionals handle the trading decisions...you'll get instant diversification within the parameters of the fund's objectives and receive professional money management. Choose a no load, no transaction fee fund so you don't pay any up front fees or transaction charges to invest....The fees charged will simply be a % of your assets held within the fund (typically 1-1.5%) and not a fixed commission each time the manager trades within the fund.
