How to buy stock? Does anyone know?

Question

HI all,

I study accounting and I have some sort of knowledge how to determine which stock is best for me but I don't know how to buy it ? Can anyone help? Do I have to call a stock agent to buy it or I need to register online in order to buy it? Please guide me step by step. Can you give a prime example of a specific website, where to click and how to buy it? 10 points for the best answer. Appreciate!

Answer 1

Go to charles schwab or e-trade or Vanguard and call their number. If they are not nice and helpful, do not give them your money.

Remember that investing in the stock market is a lot less risky if you buy a index mutual fund or ETF and hold them for at least five years.

For shorter term investments consider a money market or CD

Answer 2

You need to open up a brokerage account.  Go with more reputable shops (IMO), like fidelity, schwab, ameritrade.  They all have online application's that you can use.  You will likely need to deposit a minimum amount into your account (like 2,000), and then  you can trade online.  good luck.  tba

Answer 3

yes, listen a first sender too, but you cant go and buy some stocks?! Why? because you will go on down side.

1. Chose a sector where you will freely and where you know something before - like I like energy, media (Disney,...), retail and real estate - if you don`t know which sector to chose, read and research about it.

2. Be a updated abut a sector / stock  movements - this not mean you need to be all the time in internet or watch on tv  news.

3.  Chose a stocks - much stocks

4. Put all the stocks into Google or Yahoo finance and do a research.

5. Pull out some losey firms.

6. Please download in to the list stocks - annuals / quarter reports. (Firm site or  use on link below ). Read about numbers an d text- like a newspaper.

7. Read their financial statement and their cash flow.

8. Write all facts (internet search and annuals.....) Write all what you need to compare.

9. Chose final company and buy. Don`t worry - now stock will be go down more.

10. Be a allays to opened to opportunities.

Read Reach dad, about silver and about big bummers.      

Good luck.

Answer 5

Since you're just starting out and probably don't have that much to invest, I'd say an online discount brokerage would be the way to go.  Etrade and many others have websites where you can set up an account.  Once an account is set up you send money in to get deposited into the account, then you can set up orders online to purchase stocks with the money.  there are usually transaction fees, all of which should be detailed on the website so you can see what the costs are before you set up an account.  Look at a few brokerages before you set up an account so you can find decent fees.  Going to a regualr brokerage where you call a person on the phone to trade for you is usually the most expensive way to go.  There are higher transaction fees plus account fees, and these types of places usually don't want to deal with small accounts.  A "small" account is usually anything under $100,000.

Answer 6

You should register with a stock broker agency like Fidelity or TDAmeritrade.  Once you set it up and deposit money, you are on your way to investing.  You can make your own buys/sells online, or also talk on the phone to a stock broker.  However, they do take commissions for each trade whether it be a buy or sell.  The price varies depending on the type and quantity of the trade, but shouldn't be more than $15.  Good luck!
