Stock trading typically allows one to profit by buying and selling securities. However, profitability in stock trading relies on timing the market, different risk factors, and stock mispricing.

There is no minimum amount you need to trade in the stock market. You can begin with as low as $500 and add it as you earn and save more money.

In this list, you'll find real-world stock trading business success stories and very profitable examples of starting a stock trading business that makes money.
