i've always been interested in buying stock but have never figured out if there is a way to do it without a company like etrade and all them who charge you for every trade you make.

  1. No.  Brokerage firms are in business to make money just like any other enterprise.   There are no businesses that give away their services or products for nothing, so why would a broker/dealer,

    It cost firms hard cash for every trade one of the customer does, so it's only reasonable and fair that they charge something to cover such cost.  It's not cheap being a registered broker/dealer, they do need a cash flow to cover such expenses..

    If the fees charged by firms are important to you investing plan, maybe you should not be investing.


  2. You should find out if there is a fee for IPOs(initial public offering)

    also, if you by directly from the company its possible that there is no fee

    like if you buy it from the transfer agent of that company

  3. The online (also called discount) brokers are your best bet. Believe me, you don't want to make so many trades (day trading) that the fees will amount to much. The best money is in short term momentum trading, which means holding for days, weeks, even months. It's not easy. Here are my current long positions: AFAM, FSYS, ICLR, ILMN, GHM. They're all doing well, and any one or all could turn around instantly. Watch carefully.

  4. The short answer is no.

    Trading in stocks requires a license to deal (in securities) and a settlement agent.  Both of these folks prefer to be paid and as a result you have to pay -- one way or another -- to buy and sell stocks as an individual.
