How should you start investing with a small amount of money?
Investing can change your life for the better. But many people mistakenly think that unless they've got thousands of dollars lying around, there's no good place to put their money. The good news is that's simply not the case. You can start investing with $100 or even less.
"If you're a typical working person or a beginning investor, you should know that it doesn't take a lot of money to start," IBD founder William O'Neil wrote in "How to Make Money in Stocks." "You can begin with as little as $500 to $1,000 and add to it as you earn and save more money," he wrote.
