How do I find an online investment account that suits my needs?


I have $200 to invest in stocks. I want complete control of my cash. I want no advice. I don't want huge fees for spreading my small investment amount over several stocks and not buying in complete lots.

Actually, I'm not worried about turning my cash into major profits. I just want to have the fun of investing and I want to get annual reports. It's more of a learning experience than anything.

$200 is not enough to byuy shares with.
Buy a CD(certificate of Deposit) with it.

When you have tiny amounts of money, commissions and acct charges will decimate your little nest egg.
