Stock Market For Dummies Lesson 3 - Investing in stock market is not very hard. There are many online brokers that you can open accounts with. Generally, if you have less than $1,000 to invest in stock, I would say don't bother. You need to have at least $1,000 and you must be mentally prepared that you may lose it. Stock Market investing is, like many things in life, somewhat of a gamble.
Once you pick a broker, you will need to open an account and put money in that account. You can find the office of your broker that is near you or you can find an address online to send your check to. Sending your check in the mail is safe. It is just as safe as sending your check in to pay your utility bills or cable bills.

After you have sent your money in to your broker and it is in your account, you are now able to learn how to buy stocks for beginners and invest in the stock market.
