Fidelity recently increased their account minimums across the board--when I opened an account with them a few years ago, the minimum was only $2500. Check with Vanguard. Most of their funds carry a minimum of $3000 right now, and all have low fees. You can also use ETFs, which trade like stocks and carry no minimums. Be aware, however, that you will pay a trading fee to your broker when you buy and sell ETFs. Nick, good point.

Here's my question for you - a fund like Fidelity's S&P 500 Index requires a $10,000 minimum initial investment. This seems difficult due to the $5000/yr limit on my Roth IRA, and furthermore seems like a lot to dump in one place at a single time. Are there other similar options? What's the best way to deal with these initial investment hurdles? Tad - Nice site, I’ve just recently become more interested in investing, so this is all quite interesting.
