I don't know much about stocks, and I don't really find them interesting enough to study. But I know they are good to own. So I'd like to open a small account and just start buying a few here and their, by small I mean less than $500. Its a start, I'm hoping to grow it. My plan is to buy stocks from companies that I understand and like. HP, GE, Toyota, MB, Google, big blue chip companies, then hold them for a long time.

Anyone use E trade?
