Online Broker trading |
|
|
I am considering opening an online discount broker account. I have read before that stocks are usally bought in increments of 100 shares.... is this required... lets say i want to buy 10, 15, or 43 shares... After reading many different online brokers fees and what not.. i have come to learn ( correct me if i am wrong) that i set up the account, i give them an account number.. and i say i want to buy this stock (50) shares. they take the money out then.... How much time difference is there between me saying i want to buy this stock and i actually own it... and they same with when i say i want to sell it.....
thanks

I'm kind of in a similar situation. I want to open an online brokerage account to buy the occassional stock, such as for a gift or for myself. I'm not looking to be doing serious daytrading or anything like that.
Is E*Trade a viable option, or is there a cheaper route I can take?
Thanks
