Single shares? I want to buy shares of stock as gifts for my nieces, what is the best way?

Question

Do they still give you a physical paper? Thanks

Answer 1

I'm not affiliated with them but Give a Share does just what you want....framed single shares of stock in several various companies.

Answer 2

Many use a company called moneypaper.  They will not only set you up with single shares, but they will enroll those shares in a dividend reinvestment plan so that single share can grow into multiple shares

Answer 3

They do, but its normally more expensive than the actual price of the stock, because it includes framing and transfer fee's.

Answer 4

Yes, you can get a physical certificate.  But you will have to request it from your broker.  And the cost will be higher.
