I'm just wondering how many of you are investing in trading stocks and or bonds and which has been more profitable too you. I'm considering opening a etrade account in the next coming weeks. Let me know your thoughts and experiences.

I just recently opened up an account on sharebuilder.com . I didn't put too much in cuz I wanna get the hang of it before I start going crazy! But, my stocks have gone up about 20-25% within a couple months. It all depends on what you invest in. If I would have invested in my stock a few weeks earlier, my money would have doubled :-(.

How much did it cost you to get started because I know etrade requires a 1,000.00 minimum for a deposit, is that the only stock you've invested in I checked it out it seems like it's doing ok. Thanks for the info you guys.

The basic package doesn't have a minimum. You can make a scheduled stock purchase at no charge as well. When you sell, there's a $15 commission. They do have monthly packages that include a variety of options, but I just went with the very basic account.

E*Trade does not have a min. They just ask that you start with $1k. Just think about it. You get a stock that is not an OTC it will cost you a little +comm. If you only have a few hundred you have to make up a lot of ground to cover the Comm charges. Keep in mind that anything you spend to buy or sell comes out of your profit. Make sure that when you are looking to buy something, to map out how much it has to go up just to break even/ cover the comm charges.
