Rather than buying stock through a broker. Purchase stock directly from the company. Instead of paying fees to a broker, Use the savings to purchase stock. Check it out! As an example, if your going to purchase stock from Proctor & Gamble go to there website
There are a lot of online sites where you can buy stocks. Sharebuilder by ING has one of the best values and is often mentioned by Clark Howard a consumer advocate for their low cost of acquisition of a stock or mutual fund. They also do not have any monthly fees. ETrade and Scott Trade are more higher tech sites. These work better for day traders who constantly buy and sell stocks. They still have a low cost for real time trades. Also many banks such as Bank of America offers programs where you can buy online stocks through them. Also many credit unions offer this service as well. Buying stocks can be risky and rewarding. Do your research. Watch a little Cramer on Mad Money. Look for value stocks and stay away from speculative stocks as a newbie for investing. You can play it safe a look up what Warren Buffet has been buying lately. Make sure you have a well diversified portfolio and do not bet all your money on just a couple of stocks, Spread your stock bets on differing industries slash sectors. Look at your own purchases. There maybe a great stock tip on your last few credit card transactions. Learn, enjoy and invest
You have to open an account with brokerage firm like for example Etrade, then you will be able to buy and sell stocks on line with a c of a mouse
All major brokerage firms provide their clients with on - line services, including trading platforms, latest market & financial news and research. Customer need to select the site that is best for them. Traders have requirements in a site, while investors have other requirements. Although most sites are geared to general securities and commodities, however customers may have special needs for the types of products they trade, and the markets in which they trade. It seems that the most popular firms for on - line investing all of which provide excellent platforms and services are; Scottrade; Chas. Schwab; TDAmeritrade; Fidelity; E - Trade and Thinkorswim So pick one of these companies and visit their website and then pick the one you think best
