$100. is not even a good start. Go to Yahoo Finance and read the articles and follow the links. Save your money. Have 6 months living expenses in the bank. If your employer has a savings plan, and it is better than average, max it out.
Once you have done the above, you can then consider "investing" for the future. Buy quality. Invest for the long term. And recognize the difference between "investing" and "gambling".
Early investing mistakes will cost you the most.
look , open an account a discount brokers like tradeking.com , fill out the application form it will take around 1 or 2 days and then once you've been approved go to your bank and wire or deposit money in to your brokers account that will maybe take a day or so, discount brokers will charge you from 4 to 10 dollars to do the trade for you no matter if you buy 100 or 1 its the same fee okay! its only 4 or 10 dollars i know tradeking is only 4 because that what i use once the money is there you can start buying mmm lets see ... buy 3 stocks of bby (best buy) that will leave enough for the brokers fee and then sit on it for a month and you should make a 20 or 30 dollar profit! DON'T WORRY!! investing isn't hard just do your homework on trading! make sure you look up discount brokers and pay attention to the day trading laws and regulations ok and i hope you make a million dollars!!
Hey,
Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share. They are notoriously risky but if you follow a special method I've learned you can earn good money at almost no risk. This is the site I use: http://pennystocks.toptips.org
I definitely recommend subscribing to this site in particular. Very good research, quality stocks. I was a bit weary of penny stocks from all the bad hype they receive but this guy is pretty legit. He's put my mind at ease with a lot of the fears I've had. I especially like that he doesn't send out announcements left and right. I've signed up for other websites that fill my in-box with one company after the other. I don't know where to even start with so many choices in front of me! Nathan sends me one idea a week and that's all I need. Working so many hours during the week leaves me with very little time when I get home to start doing tons of penny stock research. I'm always eager to see what Nathan's next suggestion is each Friday and I love having time on the weekend to do my research.
As said above if you want to make money with penny stocks you have to follow some proven methods. This one in my opinion is the best: http://pennystocks.toptips.org

There is a cost to buying and selling shares, which makes it difficult to make a profit from a small investment as any gains are probably outweighed by those costs. If you are very lucky you can buy stocks at the right time and the company does well and grows in value. It tends to take a long time to achieve significant growth and you are just as likely to choose a company whose stock reduces in value, possibly going out of business in which case you lose all your money - this is more common than you might believe, especially if you are investing in small, high risk ventures which might give a rapid return on your investment (or a rapid loss).
The basic rule is don't invest what you cannot afford to lose, and judge what level of risk you are prepared to take. Mostly it takes a long time and some luck/skill to get big returns on your investments.
I agree with what Kevin is saying. You might feel like $100.00 is a lot but it's not. It won't keep you clothed and fed for half a month in most areas. It's good that you're saving money but after transaction fees you'll end up eating a very good year's stock profit if you only invest $100.00 with a $10.00 transaction fee. When it comes to investing all that is really important is that you're saving at least 15% of your working income for retirement and emergencies. Stocks become a way to make it hard to justify spending that retirement money on, say, a new TV.
There is no good way to get rich easy without substantial risk. The unspoken truth about stocks is that it is a "zero sum game". For someone to make money someone has to lose money (including by inflation devaluing the purchasing power of your savings). When you account for Wall Street's massive problem with outright fraud and semi-legal practices like High Frequency Trading then you realize that the deck is slightly stacked against you over the long term.
Also, look up the "dart throwing monkey" investor stories and the "paradox of expertise". Apparently, monkeys throwing darts at the stock listings of a newspaper out perform most professional investors.
As far as I can tell the best way to have a comfortable retirement is to buy things like long term value. Don't buy disposable things that will be broken or out of fashion in six months. Buy higher quality items one time and learn to desire what you have, not what you want.
I'm making big money with binary option, I use this software ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) My software delivers signals only when the five indicators (bp trend filter, market deviation, price pattern, rel. price impulse, stat. price range) are aligned together and we have an extremely high confidence rate, it must then co-exist with my proven secret strategy before a trade be detected… as a result, we get a guaranteed Highly-Accurate ’80-100%’ Signal.

Okay im a beginner in the stock market and stock investing and I dont really know what exactly you can actually accomplish with your investments. I know the point is to buy a share and hope the company of that share succeeds, but for example how much can you make from a $50 stock? $100? $300? Can you make more money if you invest more money? Can you make a fortune from making the right investment with only $100? Thank you.
