Online stocks work like this: You send your broker (Etrade, Ameritrade, Schwab) some money. The money is then available for you to buy stocks. If you don't really know about the market, it's time to do a little reading. Research the industry you are in and find companies that you think are cheap and start out like that.
Before you invest, you should know these crucial ratios: P/E ratio, dividend yield, book value, earnings per share. You should also look at the balance sheet and income statements to make sure the company you invest in isn't too heavily in debt and is growing earnings.
Happy Holidays and Good Luck!!!

You buy online stocks through an online broker. They are the same as regular stocks. They are profitable if you choose the right ones to buy at the right time. It's not easy.
