Fidelity's minimum for an IRA is $2500. I'd like to invest in three index funds. I have $4500 to invest. Can I invest 2500 in the first fund, then withdraw 1500 leaving 1000 in, invest 2500 in the second,then withdraw 1500, so this leaves me with 2500 in hand to invest in the third. Then even everything out so I have equal amounts in each. Please help I'd like to get started soon but can this work. Thanks in advance for your answers
Very easily. You can invest in the exchange traded versions. Buy as few as one share if you want. They are called index ETFs. Here is a link that will tell you all about them.
