Online trading, stocks and mutual funds?
Can someone give me just a basic rundown on how this works?
Question 1: Is this something you can start doing with little expense, or does this fall under ‘you have to have money to make money’?
Question 2: I’m not trying to get rich quick, but like many of us, my family is short on money right now. Internet jobs are pretty much all a scam, and the job market where I live is awful. I am just looking for a way to get extra cash from time to time and a friend mentioned ameritrade. Comparing stocks and mutual funds, are either something you can do to help pay the rent next month, or are they both long term multi year deals?
Yes, I know I sound desperate, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask about something that can potentially help my family.
Thanks in advance for ANY help.
