I'm a bit younger wondering the same thing but don't you need more than a rack to invest?
Anyone worried about the schmita?

if you have no clue what to do, dont do anything at all because you'll lose every dollar.
paper trade and lean before entering the market with real money. just because you want to make money doesn't mean you actually will.

Every trader will eventually acknowledge that they don't really know how the economy works, and they would be right because the real economy is divorced from the financial markets, the gold market is manipulated and everyone is itching for the next dose of the much anticipated QE injection. Which is why questions like "i have 1k where can i invest?" sound real funny because you might as well take that cash and make it rain on a stripper - you will probably get more out of it. Simply put, the stock market is rigged, especially now with robot trading, algorithms and fiber optic cables. The regular joe simply doesn't have the tools to trade at the level of professionals and robots who will eat your lunch and for 1k, ain't no one going to help you.
My advice? Learn a skill and sell it. There's also bitcoin if you're feeling extra risky and speculative.

Stock market being rigged is a lazy copout. Learn how to trade and it won't be rigged.

If it's not a level playing field, then the person you're advising to simply 'learn how to trade' will have a hard time lol

You're going to have a hard time regardless at first. It's one of the toughest things to consistently do in the world. Doesn't mean it's impossible, though.

You saying I should just cop that pound from Pablo
So how much would you say you should start with if your looking to get into this

find proven traders who offer education services and show their records (not just places that sell alerts). you can learn how to trade, it's not impossible if you bust your ***, manage risk, control your emotions and exhibit painful amounts of patience.
places like Investors Underground, Bulls on Wall Street, AlphaShark (former KeeneOntheMarket), are worth learning from.

You can start with a K. I did. Not that I've gained much more since trying my hand at options... but that's a different story.
Don't get into the markets right now, you'll lose half your cash in no time. Do some research, read some books, and study value investing over the next few months at least and let this volatility die down.

, FED rat hike decision. Shouldn't this be a plus for stocks considering it's a minus for bonds ?

Won't see a rate hike realistically until 2016, no way they raise the rates w/ the upcoming holiday season, however that could prove to be a calculated move. Raise rates, shares dip as a reaction, the inch back up, after holiday numbers get released, stocks his small surge. All speculation of course, I don't even know how often the FED meets to discuss rate hikes.

My buddy Christian posted this chart on TWTR. Ugly candle pattern potentially.

While i wasn't expecting a hike, I was legitimately surprised by the Fed's non-action, if that makes sense.
