Etrades is a good place to start out, low fees and gives you lots of research tools

No your doing it wrong ... Invest n hookers n blow.

the return is very low

etrade is how i started and its pretty easy to set up


before making any trades i think its highly beneficial to get some basic knowledge on investing
its crucial to understand your risk tolerance and not to get caught up in get rich quick schemes that you might read somewhere (if its too good to be true, it is)

i'd recommend reading a random walk down wall street, its a great book for beginners that will help you get started with investing

as previously mentioned, exchange traded funds which track the market (like my investment in voo) are considered safe and a nice start to investment-- (some people argue this is the best investment)

Blue Chip companies the best
