$26 is the least to invest, if you want only one share. $52 for two shares, etc.

Trading individual stocks, you buy whole shares...$26.00 times how ever many shares you buy. BUT you have to remember the commission! Say your broker charges $10. per trade....if you only buy 10 shares, then you have paid $27.00 per share! You are starting " in the hole" ... your stock has to gain quite a bit before you " break even".....So in general it is better to be a little more aggressive and buy say 200 shares...then your commission only amounts to a nickel a share ( you should make that the first day, right?)
If you are buying mutual funds, you can buy partial shares....you deal more in cash totals...such as : you buy" $ 1000. worth of FRESX" .....if you are with a company like Fidelity, there is no charge in buying most mutual funds.... but sometimes minimum purchases are $ 2500. and you must hold the fund for certain periods of time or pay " short term trading fees" But once you have the fund , additional purchases ( or sales) can be made in smaller amounts...about $ 250. I believe.
A fairly decent intro to investing is on an msn site:

A little reading ...you can figure it all out... take your time, understand it, do it even "half- right"...and you'll be better off somewhere down the road. Good luck.

I've been subscribing to this PennyStock web site for about a year now and have loved the objective advice they give http://penny-stock.keysolve.net
He really does look for quality stocks and I've made some pretty nice profits on a lot of his suggestions.
Being still fairly new to investing I have been dabbling a lot in penny stocks to try and grow my account. I may not have a big account, but it's a lot bigger than it was a year ago.
On just one of Nathan's picks this year I managed to make my investment back ten-fold!
Penny stocks are notoriously risky but if you follow the right method the risk is almost 0.
I suggest to invest only little money first and then reinvest the profits.

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/4ed13

In binary options you will have the possibility to predict the movement of various assets such as stocks, currency pairs, commodities and indices. Learn how you can make money trading binary options https://tr.im/NTlHt
An option has only two outcomes (hence the name “binary” options). This is because the value of an asset can only go up or down during a given time frame. Your task will be to predict if the value of an asset with either go up or down during a certain amount of time.

First of all you cannot buy one stock of Yahoo in US. You have to buy in blocks meaning lots of 100 each. According to the price you stated it will cost $2600. If you buy on margin you will have to pay upfront 35% of it ie:$910. This is with regular Stock Brokers.
If you go to the Odd lot Traders you can buy in 1's and 2's.

For commission sake you normally buy at least a round lot of 100 for $2600 + commission but can buy fewer as mentioned above. Jus tbuy a mutual fund or a close end fund like ADX if new at this.

$26.00 + $3.00 (SogoInvest)
Keep in mind you would have to wait at least a year until your stock goes up to $32.00 just to recover your costs.
If you buy 2 stocks you only need to wait unitl your stock goes up to $29.00
You get the idea.
