what is the best way to invest with very little money and how to get started?
For someone who wishes to begin with $250 American Funds is the answer. $250 to open an account and additions can be made in $25 increments. That is about the littlest I know of. Here is a link. http://www.americanfunds.com/default-home.htm They are a good company with plenty of good mutual funds. But you need to know that they have a front end sales charge of 5.75%. This is mitigated somewhat by their very low expense ratio. One of my favorites is Income Fund of America. A growth fund disguised as an income fund based on past performance.
