ALBANY, GA -- In our Facebook Story of the Day, we asked, "What are the best ways to get started in the stock market?" We spoke with Wells Fargo, Financial Advisor, Victor C. Sullivan IV to find out the answer.

"Most people the first time they get their feet wet with the stock market, is generally retirement plan at work. Whether that's a 401K or an IRA, but that is usually their first experience with the Stock Market," said Sullivan.

Sullivan also said that when the market is on a low is actually the best time for new investors to get in, citing it as similar to a "sale" at a Department Store.
