Stock Markets Exposed

Is there an online site where I can do light stock trading even if I have bad credit?

I want to invest under $1000 in a few diferent stocks but Scottrade would not let me open an account. I am not sure why they are looking at credit anyway, but then again I am new to stocks and the rules of trading. Are there any sites that will allow you to buy stocks with bad credit?

  1. You may be unable to open an account with so little money. Try other on line brokers. Also investing $1,000 in several stocks makes little sense. With so little money you are better off investing in a good no load mutual fund. Any broker will accept your account if you can deposit a sufficient amount of money to meet their criteria. Your credit rating should not matter, because the broker is not lending your money. You may be unable to open a margin account.
  2. you should not be investing if you have substantial "bad" debt such as credit card or other loans at a >10% rate because the return on paying those off is probabaly better than stock investments. that being said, e trade or charles schwab should take you.
  3. Look at Sharebuilder, ETrade, Scottrade, or Ameritrade. I have stocks through each of these and they never did a credit check.
