A web user asks, What is an appropriate starting amount of money you should have available in order to begin building a portfolio, considering that online brokerage firms charge fees for transactions? Is it appropriate to invest something as small as $100 or is that fairly pointless due to brokerage fees? How about $250, $500, $1000, $2000, $5000, $10,000? What would you recommend to a friend as being the least amount (in dollars) to invest and still make it ‘worth their time’?

Can you help them out? Post your advice!
