Hold Your Horses (Those Are Expensive!): A Few Things to Consider
- Investing 101: Buying stock requires some moolah. You'll need to open an account with a broker, deposit some funds, and then decide how many shares you want to purchase. Remember, investing comes with risks, so be sure to do your research before jumping in.
