where should i sign up to invest?

i wanna just put like 200 dollars or so n everywhere i saw u had to put like 500 i dont really wanna lose that much

i just wanna try n do penny stocks where is the best place to try this?

what were you going to buy?just 1 stock?Some companies have drips for that little of money....google drips and enough companies with come up

Try and see if there is a Scottrade branch near where you live.

not to be impolite BUT $200 is NOT worth fooling with in the market. even @ a low rate like TD Ameritrade's $9.99 per trade, you will get eaten alive by commission and even with penny stocks you can't buy enough shares to make any real money trading.

you would be better off simply long term investing in DRIPS that accept such a low number.

This may be a dumb question but I been recently learning on my own and reading this great forum. Good job guys, I for one appreciate you all's input. So what is the minimum play money you guys recommend to not get eaten up on commisions for stocks that are 5$ for example, or 2$, or 1$. Is there some rule of thumb or equation or something?

I would say atleast $2000.
