You can start with $500 or $1,000....doesn't matter.
I use TD Ameritrade but you can open an account with $500 with Etrade or Fidelity or any other brokerage.
The fees are negligble given the returns.

Thanks for the info. Their fees look a lot more reasonable and TD Ameritrade at least will deal with non-US citizens (aliens...seriously? I'm Irish not ET).
I'll see if I can find somewhere more local but so far the only places that seem to offer these services charge about 5 times more per trade on top of a quarterly fee for the privilege of doing business with them.
