I want to start up a business when am older and I want to get enough funds while am still younger and I think that Investing in stocks may be worth a shot.
What minimum amount of money am I supposed to have and how do I start investing?

Even with a discount commission of only $5 that is already 2% round trip hacked off the top…

It will probably save me quite a bit over the next few years.

Find me a decent amount of shares of an oil company that I can get for less than $4500 (50 shares).

To me, a more realistic starting point, after I read his book was about $10,000. That would get 50-100 shares of 5 diverse stocks.
