<prompt> Human: Hello, first post on this subreddit so sorry if I broke a rule. I work at McDonalds and make ten dollars an hour but I would like to start trading stock as I have been always fascinated with it. So my questions are am I able to even trade as a minor? Where should I make a trading account? And finally how big of an initial investment will I likely be required to make?  <response>: You cant.Wait two years.Then, still dont do it. Every stock you buy is bought from someone who wants to sell it, and who probably knows more than you do. Same idea when you go to sell. Its an expensive way to learn.
