How can I start investing in the stock market with a maximum of $ 250 available. Which broker you recommend?

Not A Daydreamer asked:


I am just looking a way for extra income. I don’t trust the stock market and myself too much and I am kind of short of money now. That’s why i can only afford $250 to start. But if I am doing well, I’d put more money into it. So help me out. Don’t answer it if you know how it is going on the stock market.

   I’m sorry to be the one to have to tel you this but there’s no way you can succeed investing in stocks with such a small amounts if only because of the fees associated to trading… For example if you made 15%, which would be an awesome return you wouldn’t even cover the transaction fees with your profits…

   You should start by learning about investing first and while you learn just put aside some cash and wait until you have at least $2500. Yes you could probably start earlier but the problem with lower amounts is that you are going to look for a home run and might end up investing in some penny stock promising to bring 1000% returns within weeks… You know deep down how that’s going to end…

   Good luck
