The picks below are part of Kiplinger's Personal Finance's annual Best List, a roundup of the best values in all the areas we cover — from funds, stocks and ETFs to credit cards and bank accounts to cars, college, kid stuff, phone plans, travel and health. Discover all our Best List picks here.
Start with funds on Schwab's OneSource list for breadth of choice. Many of them come with $100 minimums and no transaction fee. One such fund is Schwab Total Stock Market Index (SWTSX); it charges a low annual fee of 0.09% to boot.
For super-low minimums, invest in an ETF. You can buy one share of WisdomTree International LargeCap Dividend (DOL) commission-free through E*Trade for just $43. And $47 buys a single share of Vanguard Total International Stock (VXUS) at Vanguard without commission. Buy just one share of iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR) through Fidelity or TD Ameritrade and you'll pay no commission, just the $124 price of the fund. All three are members of the Kiplinger ETF 20. (Prices are as of September 30.)

Top 5 High Tech Stocks For 2019: Ellie Mae, Inc.(ELLI)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
Monday saw a solid start to the week for the stock market, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a triple-digit gain and the Nasdaq Composite managed to rise more than 1%. Earnings season continues to move forward, and many investors are looking to Tuesday's State of the Union address as an opportunity to see whether the Trump administration changes course with its plans following the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives in January. Meanwhile, though, consolidation is taking hold in several key sectors of the economy, and many companies are seeing their share prices move dramatically in response to potential deals. Ultimate Software Group (NASDAQ:ULTI), Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON), and Ellie Mae (NYSE:ELLI) were among the top performers today. Here's why they did so well.

Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) reported fantastic numbers -- for a growing business, at least -- and the market doesn't seem to care. A Bank of America Merrill Lynch survey found that professional investors bulked up their cash positions in a big way. Under Armour (NYSE:UA) (NYSE:UAA) reported strong international sales, but the U.S. picture remains weak. Ellie Mae (NYSE:ELLI) just may be going private in an all-cash buyout. Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) acquired router maker Eero, sparking Facebook (NASDAQ:FB)-adjacent concerns over just how much information the FAANG elite really gather from their customers.
