1. Buy the ETF SPY. You would be diversified even if you just put in $200. Most mutual funds can't beat or track the SP500 which is what SPY tracks.
2. Sharebuilder.com, sign up for the lowest comission plan and invest at least $200 a month.
3. I use Scottrade.com. It takes a minimum $500 to open account. I have always been happy with their customer service and trades are only $7.
4. Zecco.com is great. No commissions if you trade stocks online (for the first 40) and no minimums. You can't beat it.
5. If you would like to invest for your retirement, you can start up an IRA with www.fidelity.com for as little as $250 to start, as long as you commit to invest $250 per month. They have target-date retirement funds which invest your money in underlying mutual funds, making investing simple.
6. SogoInvest.
