Sorry -- we removed your message on /r/stocks because you are asking for the type of information we try to address in our wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/wiki/index

Generic posts like "how do I get started with stocks," "how do I find a broker," "where can I learn more about investing," "I have $XXX to invest, what should I do," etc. are removed because they are low-effort and asked on a daily basis in /r/stocks.

Things you can do:

1. Read the wiki which has tons of information, including reputable learning resources, broker information, and links to useful reddit posts (including old posts similar to yours)

2. Search the subreddit history for similar information

If you want to enter the market with low cost and some security, I would say start with the SCHD etf. You learn about dividends, feel the waves of good days and bad days. It is not going to be the long term winner like VOO, but will be more stable in the short term.

Etfs are spread out over 100 or more different individual stocks, so you won't rocket like crazy, but you will also not lose your shirt.

Always check how a stock has grown over its lifetime before you buy. Google the stock name and a graph will appear. Check the month, year, 5 years, and max. Look out for any crazy drops (2020 covid will be a big drop in everything, but look if the stock has recovered) 

You will make mistakes.

Beat of luck

Sure; you don't need mountains of money to get into investing.

> If so, anyone got any tips for me on learning what to invest in and how to start my portfolio?

If I asked you, "I'm going to the supermarket, what should I buy?" you'd probably stare at me and say, "Well what are you trying to make? Do you have a recipe? What ingredients does it need?"

Same goes for investing. First thing to do is figure out what you want to do with your money. What your needs are. What risks you want to avoid. Then you work backwards to find the "recipe" and mix of investments that fits your goals.

Or if you just want to fuck around and make some bets on certain companies and see what happens, you're certainly free to. Though I'd say a lot of people end up in a situation with random stuff they've bought and then, "Well... now what do I do? When do I sell?" If you don't have a clear plan or conviction with what you're buying it's just random fucking around with your money.
