@Euphoria14: You should search for online brokers. I don't know how it works in the USA though.

Unless you're going to buy thousands of dollars in stocks, don't bother unless you find a broker with very low fees. The fees alone can eat a lot of your profits if you're only buying a few shares (and the capital gains tax will eat a lot of the rest).

 

 

There are plenty of discount brokers like TD Ameritrade that are inexpensive. It's probably a good thing to start small and learn how to do these things. Investing a lot to begin may be more efficient, however it also carries greater risk.
