Where To Start Trading

[derek12b]

Hello to anyone reading this thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I am a total beginner but a quick learner with a real drive to try this out get a well rounded understing of how it all works. I recently got a good tip on a stock but I am overwelmed when it comes to actually finding picking a online trading company. I looked at itrade Ameritrade Fidelity but the start-up fees are...well for a beginner financially crippeling. I signed up for free at Sharebuilder but I did not give my checking account# yet because I am a little hesitant on how it works. If anyone can give me some solid advice it would be greatly appreciated. I just read Real Money by Jim Cramer I have kept up on stocks for years now. Now I would like to put my feet in the water try some small trades just to see how I do. I have a great job to be a investor/trader. I am a self employed communications technician. I go out to work for a week or two have a week or two at home this gives me real time to do my homework. I know what you might be thinking he just read the book watches Mad Money now he wants to be a daytrader this is true to a point but I used the book as a 101 course a motivational tool. One of the main things I am wanting to know is if I buy a stock see I have made a gain how do I get the money out where does it go? I know they might be silly questions to some but you all started somewhere. If anyone can give me some good advice I will be more than happy. If you have any good links for me to read over or just some sound advice would help. Thanks for reading I will give you a follow up on how my stock did.

The best way to start is to invest in companies you underst. I started investing when I was 16 with the help of my dad. Most of those trades had to do with what was going on in the world. Just pay attention you can find value. I remember my first live pick I bought shares in canada there workers were on strike picked it up cheap did very well. Build up a portfolio of several stocks over time you can see your investments work for you. The basic idea is to keep it simply stay calm. One of the first things i did was the year before I had started was I traded stocks on paper so you make pretend picks track them see your results get a feel for investing. Best of luck.

my answer may not satisfy you but it's half the answer i found that has got an excellent trading platform but they are not registerted in NFA but i think this will not be a great harm because many brokers are not registreted by they are good.
