Hey guys whats up. My name is Cris and Im 25 years old. Ive been doing a lot of research on what stocks i should invest in and whats stocks not to.

The problem i have is that i dont know how to get started. I have a general idea but, i wanted to get some feed bck from you guys.

Should i open an account with ameritrade or  should i get broker. I dont have thousands and thousands of dollars to invest. Ive thought about investing in pennystocks and some long term stocks but, i just dont know how to get started.

PLEASE HELP!!!

I use Ameritrade. I do not have alot to invest ither but, I am pretty happy w/ Ameritrade.

Have you ever invested before?

Ameritrade is good. Cheaper than a regular broker.
To avoid an initial disapointment by pick one wrong stock. Think of several.
Get back on how much you can invest and will make a suggestion.
If you have identified some stocks, mention those.

I have about 3000 dollars and I have researched PAS and it seemed like a pretty good investment. I am just starting out, do you guys have any ideas of what types of stocks i should learn on. thanks.

I feel silly giving you advise since I'm new also..but I got started with sharbuilder for regular stocks and thats what got me going..I just pay a $12.00 monthly fee and you don't have to have a minimum balance..you just tell them what stock you want and how much money you want to spend and thats how much they buy you..for penny stocks Im using mytradz you have to have $200.00 dollars to start with them then they charge $8.00 per investment.Don't know if that helps or not Thats just what I'm starting out with but like I said Im new so it might not be very smart.
