You Can Start With Just Enough Money to Buy a Share of Stock

If you’re starting with less than $1,000, it may work out well to buy just one stock and add more positions over time.

As you conduct your research and define your investment objectives, you’ll find a stock or multiple stocks you’ll want to buy. To start investing, you need enough money to afford at least a single share of stock — which could range anywhere from $1 to over $300 thousand.
