This is what's going through my head: If $500 enough to get me started?Should I call a stock broker or use some online service? Which one?Apple's a strong stock, what's the worst that could happen? As I understand it, the theory if "Buy Low and Sell High", but what do I do with the money in between? Put in in another stock?Thanks for helping a n00b out.I just learned that I have to pay a fee for every time I buy and sell a stock... What online companies charge the lowest fees?Do stock brokers pay fees?</blockquote>
