I've never done it before. There was a stock broker who told me one time that there are stocks that can be bought for $100. Is that true? How much do you think it would generate?

One of the best things you can do to raise your income through stock market trading is to study the working methods of the investors who have been above average in this field and follow their example. You must start off by investing in the stock market with relatively safer investments. In the beginning, you must stay clear from stocks that have a history of extreme fluctuations. Another thing to be kept in mind is that you must start the investment process at a young age so that you get the maximum returns on your retirement.

There are publicly traded stocks at all price ranges. Stock valuation depends on many factors:
1) the number of shares outstanding
2) annual earnings or expected earnings
3) assets vs. liabilities
There are all kinds of ways to invest in stocks.
e.g.
Purchasing specific stocks through a broker or a discount broker.
DRIPs - dividend reinvestment plans
Mutual funds.
Yahoo! Finance is a good place to start researching the stock market.

It's true, but don't even think about it. The commissions would be at least 10% of the price of the stock.
What can you make? Who knows, it depends on what the stock does. Most penny stocks will lose money but a few will make it big money. Wanna play craps?
