Answer 1

I recommend an online brokerage firm that has good beginner qualitys {like tutorials or an easy to understand set up}, i use zecco, better then schwab, etrade, etc. they are the only ones with free stock trades, no minumums..all the others will charge you fees for trading, but compare and see for yourself. Good luck and happy investing!

Answer 2

You can buy and sell stock online through an online discount broker.  The service is not free, but most discount brokers are relatively cheap.  I currently use Firstrade ( http://www.firstrade.com/ ).  They are cheaper than the big name brokers like Scottrade, Etrade, Ameritrade, and Schwab.  There is one broker that offers free trades, but there's some fine print that comes with that.  Zecco offers 10 free trades per month, but you are required to deposit at least $2,500.  Customer service there is horrible and their website is not too great either.  But I guess you get what you pay for.

Answer 3

You need a stock broker to buy and sell stocks.  They are all pretty inexpensive and can help you out.

Answer 4

No. you need to have an account with the broker firm or a bank, for the purpose of settlement.

Answer 5

You have to pay for everything one way or another.

Why not start a new trend. Be the first person to provide work or services for free! It might catch on.

Answer 6

Well, there're many way of buying and selling shares and share derivatives. Shares are more conservative way of investing whereas derivatives like financial spread betting, cfds, options are more profitable, if you know what you're doing, but at the same time they're riskier as you deal on margin.

Of course you can invest online but you need a broker (share broker, spread betting or cfd broker) and they, in turn, need to make some profits so you would have to pay some commission in order to trade. If you're not sure what's the cheapest option for you than try http://www.indepedentinvestor.co.uk/ to compare different stock brokers or check their investment guide to learn more about you investment options.

Have fun and I hope you'll read some investment guides and books and do some research before trading.
