txaggie2514 | How do you buy stock? |
I have always wanted to buy stock and invest my money. Is there a good website that I can do this online? Also, how much money should I have before investing? I really want to invest into the flex fuel they are coming out with. I wanted to a while ago, before they got popular, but I didn't know how. Any help would be great. Thanks
Additional Details
Wow! Thanks for all of your input. After I buy the stock, what happens? I know I watch it go up or down. Can I check that online? If it goes up, how do I sell it??? Thanks again! |

I LOVE Sharebuilder.com Helped me understand alot about how this all works! Give em a try.
Easy...and NO minimums....I don't have 500 bucks or MORE to shell-out to start up an account with the "big boyz".
I don't buy $3,000 worth of some company at a time. I'm lucky if I spend 40 bucks a week.
For us "small timers"...you cannot beat Sharebuilder.com! |

Yeah, I agree with some of the folks in here. You should open with Scottrade. |

I recommend Scottrade.com, still a $500 minium last I heard. A single trade is only $7 (bulletin board, pinksheet, and other over the counter companies are a tad bit more). Sharebuilder.com is another low cost brokerage and with them you set aside a given amount each month--for instance, $25 of which $4 goes for the broker and $21 to buy the shares each month, however much that will buy. Good luck. |

Flex fuel??? Ethanol? If you're new to investing wait awhile on those stocks. They really ran up alot. Need to come down alot more. Try ameritrade or etrade. |

Hey, it looks like you are also an Aggie. Class of '07 here, whoop! Alright, to buy a stock you first need to get yourself a stock broker, in this case I'll recommend either scottrade.com or optionsxpress.com. I use the latter. Then you need to fund your account. You need to have a diversified portfolio so I'd say maybe $2500 is a good starting amount. Then you need to find a company whose stock you want to buy. You need to buy stocks of high quality companies who are making money. Flex fuel? You mean ethanol? Don't buy the hype. I recommend you read Jim Cramer's book, Real Money - Sane Investing in an Insane World.
Some stocks to look into: Starbucks (SBUX), Celgene (CELG), ConocoPhillips (COP), Lehman Brothers (LEH), Broadcom (BRCM), Schlumberger (SLB), Halliburton (HAL), Boeing (BA). |
