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.<br /><br />E<br /><br /> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Yames:<br /><strong> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by MustyTang:<br /><strong> I just recently opened up an account on sharebuilder.com .
