Buying stocks at ShareBuilder is that a good investment? I have no knowledge of stocks and bonds.?

Will I have to invest a lot of money? How does this whole process work? What stocks look lucrative? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Mistake #1;
Asking strangers (whose qualifications and motives can never be known).....

Mistake #2
Looking at brokers before reading several books on investing.

Sharebuilder is a fair choice. There are better ones. BUT LEARN INVESTING FIRST!

You only have to invest minimum amounts, which will return similar gains and losses.

Stick with mutual funds and long term strategies until you do your homework. Investing is for the long haul. For short term cash, play craps. Better odds, easier to comprehend.

Do not invest what you cannot afford to risk, and a "sure thing" probably is not.

From what ive heard sharebuilder are ok, with some good stocks and a little research you will be fine. For a list of good stock I am using http://www.goldenbullstocks.com they come highly recommended, test drive their stocks you will be impressed!

If you have no knowledge, start with a book like "Investing For Dummies." Also, you can take on-line investing tutorials at morningstar.com or investopedia.com.
