Well, that's a big question... one way a lot of people like, is an index... a big one is the S&P 500 . It is stock of the 500 largest US corporations, all together.
Then there are 10,000 other ways... ha.
A stock portfolio can be started for different amounts, at different brokers... some are cheaper to use than others, also. I guess most are around 1000 bucks to start, then you choose what to buy and invest in. Good luck with that part! I have usually kept it simple, as I am a simple pede. The index fund (or stock share, you can buy either one) I mentioned is an easy one to keep track of, the news tells the results every day, if you want to hear it... basically with that certain investment, if America is doing well, you are doing well.
