| HOW to buy shares? |
 |
|
Now here is a question that has been puzzling me for some time...
1. You have some Cash you want to invest.
2. You have some companies in mind you want to Invest in.
3. HOW DO YOU DO IT???
How do you actually BUY the Stocks? What do you have to do? I mean do i have ring a StockBroker and tell him to buy them for me? Do i walk into my Bank and tell them i want to buy them, or do i buy them through the Net? Lets suppose i dont want to buy them through the Web, i want to physically buy them, how do i do it? Do i get a certificate? who do i give the money to?

The easiest way is to do it online with scottrade or sharebuilder others that are available to trade. or you could use a broker.

You can also buy single shares of stock, as a fun kind of thing, not really for serious investing though...

Brokers usually charge by the transaction, such as $9.95 per trade, up to a certain number of shares. This includes discount brokers like Scottrade and Ameritrade and Sharebuilder. Go to their websites, they'll explain the costs there.
Hope this helps -
