When you buy stock do you have to pay it monthly or is their a fixed rate?

Question

I really want to know because I want to invest in a very big stock!

Answer 1

Once you buy share of a stock any stock you own it until you sell it. You are essentially part owner of the company from which you bought the stock. You have a piece of the rock so to speak. Bought and paid for in full. No monthly payments. Your broker or brokerage account collects a fee, this varies depending on the broker. If you buy a stock that pays dividends you collect the dividend. It's credited to your account, or if you chose to and the brokerage account gives you the option to, the dividend can be applied to purchasing another share in that company (dividend reinvestment plan DRIP). This is sometimes a problem with some brokerage houses because if you chose to sell or transfer all your stocks to another account, some brokers won't transfer those partial shares but will have to find a buyer for them. So if you decide to buy stock in a sound company, hot stock or valued asset, buy low and buy often; accumulate, accumulate, accumulate!

Answer 2

That's not how it works. It all depends on how much money you have. e.g: in you have $1000 and want to buy a a $10 per share stock then you  can buy up to100 shares. If every month you want to purchase some more, it is up to you and the amount of money at your disposal. [e-mail]

Answer 3

you buy stocks in shares... think of it as a pie.. the pie is worth 10 bucks, and it has 10 slices, each slice is worth a buck. now relate that to a company which is worth 1,000,000 dollars and has 10,000 shares of stock, each stock would be worth $100. You buy as many $100 shares as you can or want.

Answer 4

Are you talking about commission rate?  If you are then I would say that most brokers offer fixed flat rates.  I currently use Firstrade and they charge a $6.95 fixed rate per trade.  However, I do know some firms that do charge a monthly fee such as Sharebuilder.  Brokers like them can get very pricy, which is why I chose Firstrade.

Answer 5

In the UK the standard settlement is three days, known as T+3

This may be extended, usually without cost to T+10

You can get T+15 or even T+20 but this may cost a bit on the share price. If you sell with the same settlement you just settle the loss or profit and you can sell down to T+1. You have to be careful the stock sttles on T+1 so it may be safer to close T+2

If you are trading and don't want to pay the full settlement try CFDs or even spread betting. If you need further info see Q&A on http://www.shareworld.co.uk

Answer 6

pay it monthly?  You have to pay for it within three days in full.  The broker does not care where you get your money.  Could be  loan, monthly pay etc.  But you have to pay for it or it will cancel on you

Answer 7

The amount of share of stocks you want to buys is solely depends on  how much you are willing to pay.There is no such thing as a monthly or fixed rate. It's not a loan. There is a DRIP/DSP plan that allows you to purchase stock monthly.
