If I wanted to put a small amount of money into an account, say $500 so I could trade a little bit and learn about stocks, what type of account would I want? Are there any options that offer a short term capital gains advantage if I was buying and selling within a year? Most of it would be longer-term investments, but some would be short term (less than 1 year). I would also like to buy other securities like bonds if possible. Any advice is appreciated.
