How can I buy stock in the small start up company, Rohati Systems, Inc.?

Question

Hi,

I've never purchased stock before and I'm not very interested in looking for a broker, but I am interested in investing in the small start up company, Rohati Systems, Inc. How would I go about doing so? Is it any different than investing in a larger company such as Cisco or Microsoft? The more detailed the answer the more appreciative I would be.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

I don't believe that you currently can. It does not appear to be a public company as yet.  

Here is their web site where you can learn more about them.

Depends on if it is a listed stock or not. A company like Cisco you can either buy direct from the company or from a brokerage, etc.

If it is an over the counter, stock, same thing just fewer outlets.

Some small startups, you might have to write them a letter and inquire within.
