  Q: Can I invest in more than one stock if I have $500?  A:
Investors just starting out or those with small initial balances
are at somewhat of a disadvantage. But there are investments
that can keep those drawbacks to a minimum if investors know
where to look.  Keeping fees low and diversifying are two top
goals of investors. But keeping fees down and creating a well-
balanced portfolio can be difficult when you're playing with
$500. For instance, most online brokers charge about $10 to buy
or sell a stock. That's pretty reasonable for someone with a
$100,000 portfolio, but that's 2% of a $500 portfolio.   That's
why investors with just $500 to invest are best served avoiding
individual stocks until they can amass more money. Instead,
these beginning investors should buy exchange-traded funds, or
ETFs. ETFs are stocks which own claims to a wide array of
investments.  The ETF solves both of small investors' problems.
First, most ETFs come with incredibly low fees. That allows you
to keep more of your returns
