How do i buy stocks?

Question

and how do i buy my nearest mcdonalds store

Answer 1

Lol good luck buying the nearest Mcdonalds store. Those are franchises and are owned by the same people who start them. Most of the time they will not sell.

As far as stocks, it is very simple. Open an account with an online brokerage such as zecco or etrade. From there, it is just a matter of transferring money from your bank account to your brokerage account and placing an order.

Answer 2

You need lots of money.

Answer 3

Since you are a novice at this, I'd suggest you call a no load mutual fund company like Vanguard or Fidelity and get some info. Google them, they would be happy to send you info or videos.

Forget McDonalds unless you have enough $$ to open a francise.
