 Welcome to the world of investing in the stock market. Technology has made it much easier for the normal Joe like me and you to invest in the stock market. There are a number of well known companies that specialize in online stock broking. Some of these would include Scottrade, E*Trade, Tradeking, and Fidelity. All of them have their positives and negatives but share the ideology to let us normal everyday people trade. This type of investing can allow you to start saving for your future and help with your retirement. I have outlined a number of steps that will help you get setup for your investment future. After these steps, I will give you the secret to making big money.



Step One

The first step is to sign up for one of these accounts. Each one of these companies listed above would have their own website.

I would recommend not signing up until you have read a couple of them. There are also a lot of review sites that will compare the companies to each other on the same page. I used this to figure out which company I wanted to work with. Remember to focus on the different ratings to see which one first your style. Also, each of them will offer trade fees and other fees, so make sure you read about these before signing up.

Step Two

The second step is to deposit some money. You can normally withdraw money from your bank account, credit card, or with other financial needs.

I think when I was searching it was something like $500.00 This would be something you want to make sure you see before you sign up in step 1.

Step Three

The third step is to scan over the website and learn about the tools and functions. This can be quite complicated because there are a number of different things to understand and look at. Some of these will take time to figure out and play with. These tools are also very valuable to running the website or software.
