<human>:  How do I invest in stocks?
<bot>: The first step to investing in stocks is deciding which type of stock you would like to invest in. You can invest in individual stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or purchase a stock index fund. Once you have chosen the stocks you want to invest in, you can decide how much you would like to invest in each stock. You can then purchase the stocks from a broker or online stock broker. It is important to research the stocks you are investing in and find out their trading history, revenue, and other information that can help you in making a wise decision.
