If it takes off, great. If not, well I lost a couple hundred bucks, not too big a deal.

Open an account with Scott Trade or another online brokerage firm. Then deposit cash to that account and start throwing it around

I have my personal bank account linked to them so I can make deposits or withdrawals electronically. Pretty convenient.

I like ScottTrade because they don't over charge me for playing with my pennies. TradeKing punished me BAD, no more for them!

And one last thing... NEVER use money you can't afford to lose... EVER

Awesome, thanks. And on that last part. I have the same mentality whenever I go to a casino (which isn't very often). I look at the money I go in with as paying for a good time, and if I come out with more than I came in with, awesome! If not, oh well I still had fun!
