<prompt> Human: OK bear with me. Im 22 years old, enrolled in my second-to-last college semester before graduating. Im becoming interested in the stock market, as my parents recently reminded me that I was first in my class during my high school stock market simulation. In case you dont know what Im talking about, my professor gave each student 10,000 in theoretical money that we then had to invest in stocks as wisely as believed we could. Long story short I won the competition making 5800 that semester in theoretical money. I know this isnt a basis to say Oh yeah, let me go invest in real stocks! The same exact thing will happen. Wake up tomorrow and be the wolf on wall street, but I dont think its naive to let this experience spark an interest for me.So my questions are these: What are some good beginner websites for online trading? What are some general features or things I should watch out for when comparing sites on my own. How much money should I start out with?Ive taken a few personal finance and econ classes at my Uni and know for the most part how it works, but any general tips for a beginner would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!Edit: Okay, based on the feedback Ive gotten so far, individual stock trading might not the best plan for me right now. So what would PF recommend I invest my savings in that will earn more money than a standard bank savings account?Assistant: PF doesnt advocate speculating on individual stock. Try rinvesting.Human: What does PF advocate as far as stocks go then? Theres a flair for a reason right?Assistant: Investing in a low cost, broad market fund.Human: How would I go about doing that?  <response>: Vanguard.com open index fund leave it for 30 years.
