<prompt> Human: I am 21 and a senior in college. I have been thinking about this for a bit and feel I am ready to risk some money on stocks. I am seeking advice on where to start. Is ETrade the best platform? Everything and anything helps!  <response>: Bogleheads and the big 3 Vanguard, Fidelity, Charles Schwab.I dont believe in stock picking I buy index funds. If the highly paid experts cant beat the index most of the time I have no chance.
