- I am looking to invest a little money in the stock market. But I've never done
- it before nor do I have a clue as to what I need to do. I went to my local
- library and took out a few books I found on the subject, and the talk goes over
- my head on page 1 or 2 with terms I've never heard of.
-
- Does anyone have any ideas on where somebody starts in the stock market? I use
- GEnie, and asked for an online Schwab application. When I got the application,
- the first thing it says is:
-
- "Do you want a brokerage account only"
-
- or
-
- "Brokerage account with margin trading feature"
-
- I can't even fill out the first question of the application! Any help would be
- appreciated. Literature, etc.
-
- Thanks
