..that
you
can get started investing with as little as $25? And that
some
online discount investment brokers, such as Sharebuilder will allow you
to
open an account with no minimum? (There are other online
brokers
such as E*Trade, Scottrade, that do have minimum
deposit
requiremnts.)
Alot of online brokers allow "dollar based investing". This
is
when you invest a specified dollar amount on a regular basis.
This
allows you to purchase 'partial'
shares of a company's stock. For instance, if I am set to
invest $50 a month in Google, and Google is trading
at $400
at the time my order goes
through, I would have purchased 0.5 shares of Google. It is a
good & effective tool to get started investing, as well
as getting comfortable in the stock market.

Question: How do you find out what companies are involved in the industry and,
as you say many times, the companies that supply them?
Cramer : Actually, what's really helpful for me is the S&P list, which
you can get from McGraw Hill, and you can work backward from that; Wall
Street research, which is much maligned, including on this show, gives
you a lot of that kind of exposure and, don't forget, once again, Google.
Oh, and thestreet.com is a pretty good index

Question: What is a good source of research to locate these companies that
are doing business in a certain industry?
Cramer : I got it Googling it.
