Minimal stock investments?

We are looking to only invest like $500 in some stocks that are down but will go back up. What companies should we be looking at? I had thought about GM but haven't heard good things about their stock. I opened a TD Ameritrade account today and any help is appreciated.

With such a very small amount your best bet (and it is a bet since stocks are a gamble) is to purchase a mutual fund of your choice.

Otherwise the commissions will eat all of the profits plus.

Before you start investing, check that site out.
We all heard of "Forex RoBot" which automatically executes decision intelligently to make gains... that site features a Stock Market RoBot! This website uses a Stock Market Robot to track and intelligently pick the best stocks that have high potential to make huge profits.
To make lots of money you got to spend some money. That is the official website that helped me start making thousands recently. It was featured in Forbes magazine before - it is damn good. Many people praised the Robot and wrote testimonials.

Especially with the current economic crisis, imagine how much you can make once it hits the bull market!

Here's an evidence:
On 18 May 2009 (last month), a few hours before the stock market opened, I received an e-mail from the website that UOMO penny stock will rise to new highs. I bought 10000 stocks at $0.35 (the closed price for the weekend and before the market opens) for $3500.
As soon as the stock market opened, the price soared till $0.52 and closed at $0.81! The next day, it rocketed to $0.90 and I was informed by an e-mail from the website to sell the stocks off by the end of the day.
And luckily I did because the price fell after that. I earned a hefty profit of $5460 (After broker fees) just like that in 2 days.

See the graph if you do not believe me!

So believe me, this robot really works. Check out the live demostration video at the website if you still doubt it.

P.S: Please use Firefox as I just found out the website is only optimized for Firefox browsers and NOT Microsoft Internet Explorers.

GM is bankrupt, cross it off the list.

With $500 you might to better with an account a Buyandhold.com or sharebuilder.com. After trading fees, there is no way to come out a head in stocks with such a small amount of money.

that's extremely confusing to do extra suited than the marketplace well-known, even for the pros. the simplest thank you to make a residing on the inventory marketplace is to start up with a million money, make investments it in a inventory index fund, and stay off the 7 to 10% well-known benefit in step with 300 and sixty 5 days, recognizing that there will be extra suited years and years with a loss. yet beginning with little or no and attempting to make sufficient to outlive will in all probability require margin debts (borrowing money to take a place with) which make it a lot extra possibly which you will lose each thing: not something to in basic terms play around with.

Some good companies you should look to invest in are, General Electric (GE), Microsoft, Sony, Dell and Apple. GE is the best one too invest in though.
