So I want to start trading stocks online, allthough I only have a few hundred dallors in my savings…
I want advice from people experienced in trading stocks online. how should I go about getting started?
What website should I use?
What information will this website require?
Social, phone number, etc?
Do I need a certain type of bank account?
What should I try to do to profit, hopefully at a consistant rate?
I don’t expect large amounts of money or anything like that considering I don’t have much money to invest but hopefully a nice taste of what it feels like to make even a small profit.

Don’t listen to these people. Some of the wealthiest people in the world made their starting fortunes with penny stocks. There are perfectly legitimate penny stocks out there, what makes them risky is that their prices are not determined using conventional methods. The other problem is that it’s hard to get information on penny stocks. The naysayers are right, however, in that you could much more easily lose everything you’ve invested. So, you have to really know how to analyze and forecast or there is a good chance you’ll get killed. Also, it’s not necessarily true that you have to buy them in blocks of 1000 or 5000 or whatever that other person said.
Avoid the BS and have an independent mind. The thing about penny stocks is that you have to look at the timeline for when you might actually realize some returns, and you have to consider how viable is their business. Learn how to analyze all of their financials, look beyond their biased website for outside information, and then wait. And if you still aren’t convinced, then don’t buy. And when you do buy, make sure you are analyzing all of their numbers, and buy in portions over time. Don’t dump all your savings at once.
Finally, hedge your investment with something less risky. Good luck, and don’t forget to think for yourself.

I am completely new starter thinking to do online trading of stocks. But due to so many misleading informations and I am just confused which one to rely on. I think this place is where people share their own experiences.

There was an infomercial on this software that was pretty much idiot proof that anyone could use to trade stocks online and do business research. Does anyone remember what the name of the program was called?
(Don’t give names like Ameritrade, Scotts, or any of those, because I’m sure it wasn’t as popular as those)

There are many different programs. Which one do you use and why?
