1. Read the "Investing 101" section (on this site/linked to below)

 

2. Learn as much as you can about your chosen sector (marijuana in our case)

 

3. Open an on-line brokerage account (Scottrade, E-Trade, AmeriTrade, etc.)

 

4. Fund the account.  Most have a $500 minimum.  Brokerage accounts typically have checking and savings account so you can access your money at any ATM.

 

5. Select and purchase your stocks, (on-line), purchase and sales occur at cyber-speed, although, when you sell a stock, it takes 3 days to turn back into cash.

 

6. Continue to buy and sell stocks as your strategy dictates.  Check your portfolio at least once each day. The longer you hold a stock, the less tax you pay.

7. Be pro-active.  The marijuana industry is still small enough where a large group of people (we are 150,000+) can start an uptrend.  Share GreenUSA posts, tell and teach other folks about marijuana and investing, and MOST important, VOTE, and get others out to vote.
