realistically?
i would put 100 into a large cap stock when it's down, like Fidelity right now.. wait for the 5% jump to go back to normal range, and sell..

now you are at 105.

i would repeat this process over and over and over till that 5% got me to $1000. and that's it.

but that's me.. and i honestly started with about 3k about 3 years ago, and now i'm over 20k, so it's a slow build, but totally worth it if you aren't making crazy trades and trying to beat the market with huge gains.. low risk, 3-5% gains, sell, and do it again. this is the way to make good wealth in a healthy way and will accomplish your goal while establishing a good habbit in trading.
