    I recently got a check from work for $532. I got like 10 pair of sneakers and enough new outfits to last a couple of months. So.... I want to invest in stocks! Nothing else to do with my money... Any information? I want to invest in Google and Pepis. Can someone details where I can check my stocks and how I can purchase stocks safely? Yes I have more money in my bank for more shares... Thanks! :lol:

    if u wana invest in google, it's like $300 per share, would be a bad idea because that value isn't likely to go up very much and if it does, you will earn like $1.5 extra dollars. They may not give out a big dividend either like 5% which = $15 per year... Better to go in cheap new businesses shares and watch them grow ;)

    If you want there to be any point in you buying stocks youre going to have to buy them in the hundreds, at the very least.
    Their value rises by small amounts, so its only by having a lot that you make any kind of significant profit.
    As for how to get them, why not Google it? :D

    The easiest way is to buy BONDS, stocks are for big boys who have enough money to pay you to let them kick you. Seriously, though, bonds are safer..though not much money out of it, but it's a baby step.

    Buying stocks is a game that most people lose. My suggestion is to put it into a savings account and dont touch it, before you know it you will have thousands of $ in there.

    Go to your local library and get all the books you can read about investing and money. I read few books and learned a lot, but one of the things I learned about is that stocks isn't for me and you might learn the same thing. Your most valuable investment is in your mind and in doing your research before acting on something. Don't be a fool and waste all these free resources you have at your fingertips (internet, library, and people).

    Best advice I can give, is contact a stock broker. Its much easier to seek advice from a person rather that doing all the research on your own on the computer!
