I have just come in on this discussion. I will say that this depends on how you are going to approach the market. Are you attempting to be a short term trader or a longer term investor? What is your tolerance to risk and market volatility? What instrument are you going to use to make your money? This can be mutual funds or the stock itself for example. If you do not know the approach you will take and the instrument you will use, you are going to have to make some basic choices before deciding on the specifics. Do not pass up the consideration of a good mutual fund. And speculation may not provide you with the learnings experience that you can benefit from at this point in time. Bob Graham

investing is not trading. If you have read as many books as I think you have you should have learned that successful investing requires diversification. You can't diversify with $300. I would spend my time studying investing/trading methods and raising capital to invest/trade. Trying to turn $300 into $50,000 is a pipe dream. How do I know? because I tried many,many,many times as a kid. Believe me your wasting your time. If you are truly interested in this field go get a job working at a brokerage firm doing whatever. You could even offer to work for free. Believe me it's the best education in the world.
