How do I invest in the stock market?
Hello, I am a first year finance major at a university and I have been researching various types of investments. I am interested in investing some of my money in the DOW, S&P and Amazon. I do not know which brokerage firm is the best, or if ETF's are the best choice or how to even start investing. I was also wondering if I have a 'record' or portfolio on me once I start investing in the market, so how careful should i be with that in mind. I could really use some insight. Thanks. #accounting #money #investment-management #finance #stockmarket #business #investment-management
