investing in natural resources
 

Looking to get my feet wet in the investing business, and the most prevailing idea I have had has been to invest in a combination of natural resources. My question is, is this affordable? This will be my first stock purchase, I have been doing some research but Id like to know if anyone here has any pointers for someone just starting out.

Read, read and read some more. Then pick a few stocks and watch them. Save your money and when your comfortable open a trading account and start. If you don't want to put in the time to research find a good mutual fund in a area of the market your interested in and buy and hold. You can't make any money if you give up all your profits to trade fees and taxes.
