I agree with Novice Investing: you want to keep your transaction costs low to maximize returns. However, I really would encourage you to do 1 of 2 things:
1) Learn about trading first before you buy in this market
Money can be made only if you know what you are doing. The active traders on this forum make it look easy b/c they are really good at what they do - but you really should tackle the basics and bounce ideas off someone with experience first.
2) Take a more long term approach to investing
This is where I see lots of potential for beginners. There isn't a reason to rush into buying stocks right now - learn what makes a stock a good investment. What companies / industries are out of favor now? Does their balance sheet warrant such a low price? Etc.
