    Default How much money do I need to get started in share market?

    Someone told me that we can open an online account with a brokerage with as little as $5. So someone can assist the actual money need to invest.

    ^^^ realistically speaking, in order to avoid being 'buried alive' by fees versus profits on stock share trades, you're probably talking something more along the lines of $5,000 instead of $5. Minimum industry standard trading 'block' size ( which results in a standard 'asking price' and a standard broker commission rate being charged ) is 100 shares. So buying a couple of 100 share blocks of a couple of different 'average share price' public companies or funds will involve the $5,000 price range at minimum.

    Lots more commentary along this line in Dollar Den !

    Get those fucking spam links out of your post and I will re-open the thread--maybe.

    You have a couple hours to do so, or the thread will be deleted.
