As the market is said to go up 100 points, that is the net of all sales; losers and winners net effect... the balance from start to finish is maintained until 4 PM when markets close, the closing balance is carried over to the next day to start again.

The amount of shares depends on the price of the shares you buy. I think $15,000 is the minimal amount which you can reasonably invest in stocks. I would split the money so you can diversify a bit, buying about five different (industry) stocks. The fees your broker earns should not be much more than one percent of the total amount invested. So your investment has to gain 2% to be profitable.
