Investing in the stock market is generally a good thing, but stocks under $5 are usually the 'junk' of the market, and while you might make a lot on a few of them, the vast majority will only lose you money.  I'd recommend paying a few dollars more for something that has greater potential.  I've been following a $9 stock called Landec (symbol LNDC), which I think has potential.  In the under $5 range, you're usually gambling.  UNIB is a gamble that might be viable, but it's hard to know.  \n\nRather than just randomly buying stocks that anyone on the interet is touting, I'd suggest you do a little more reading about the market first.  Pick up some books by Peter Lynch or Benjamin Graham first, and that will help you become a better investor.\n\nBest of luck to you.

It's just like how you learned to swim.... jump into water as soon as possible.\nThe younger you start, the better you will be. You will never start investing in stocks if you don't have confidence that you will earn profits from stocks investment. You don't need to start with BIG investments in order to learn about stocks investment. Basically, you need to be focused on one industry and get all the information about a company that you would like to have shares.\n\nGood luck..!!

You don't say how old you are, what kind of resourses you have or your knowledge of finance in general, I.E. do you know how the market works, listed vs over the counter, options, etc.?  Before you invest a dime remember the cardinal rule of investing: the public finds out after the money's been made.  In other words, if a stock is at a high it's not the time to get in.  Also, the corolary: if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true.  Finaly, don't invest money that you can't afford to lose, especially if you're speculating (which it sounds like you are).  Go to Morningstar.com and sign up.  It will be the best money you spend for ideas, research and analysis.  Read the Wall Street Journal and look for companies with a future.  You might want to put money in an index such as the S&P 500 especially if you think the market will keep going up (and it won't - it will correct).  Bottom line is that there is no easy answer to your question.  \n\nAvoid the following:\n\nemails with stock tips\nfax messages with stock tips\nany stock selling for under $5.00 a share (unless you're willing to lose all you invest in it\npenny stock\noptions\ncommodities\nfriends who say they "know a guy who knows a guy who said..."\n\nDo the following:\n\nUse a reputable broker either bricks and mortar (Merrill Lynch, Lehman Bros, etc, or a reputable on line broker like E*Trade, Scwabb, etc.\nPut half your money in a good mutual funds of either high or mid-cap companies - you'll have gains while you experiment\nPick a point at which you want to get out on the up side (on Wall Street the pigs get slaughtered) and stick to it\nIf a stock is falling, pick a point at which you want to cut your loss.  If it;s a good company you can always buy in at what you think the low is.\n\nGood luck.  If you find the secret let me know.  I stick to known companies with solid balance sheets and a track record.  Even so I've lost (Worldcom, GM and a few others).

Open an online brokerage account with Ameritrade, Scottrade, Tradeking etc and buy shares for say 2000 USD. Sell it after you have gained atleast twice of commission (say 10*2) by looking at ur balances every day. It may go down initially butdon't lose heart on that. It eventually will go up (2min, 2days, 2 years...). Stock investing is basically finding a safe stock which doesnot give you a loss after your waiting period and investing in it. \nTo a beginner like you a safe stock could be EWD

Whatever you can afford.  The best way to get started is to figure out how much extra money that you have at the end of the month.  Make sure that it is money that you plan on investing for the long term.  You don't have to invest a big lump sum.  \n\nThe best strategy for a beginner is to systematically, dollar cost average into a low cost mutual fund.  Find yourself a good no load, index or growth fund and set up an account to automatically take a fixed amount from your bank account every month.  When the market is low, you are buying more shares and when the market is high, you are buying less shares.  You will find that you won't miss the money and in a short period of time you will discover the power of dollar cost averaging combined with the compounding of money.  Good luck!!
