there are two ways that may help you. scott trade which for the minimun amount to open charges just 7.00 a trade if your buying and selling. this way you get real time live trades and information with no brokers. there is also what is known by few as drips. you buy the stock right from the company itself. if you search drips in the net you will come up with a list of many companies selling their stock some require as little as 50 to 100.00 to open a direct stock account with them and that price includes as much stock as you can get depending on its price. you can put so much in each month if you want and you'll get the shares to that amount. each company is differant on how much you start with and how long you have to keep the stock before selling it. its usually 60 to 90 days with some. good hunting!

Certain companies sell shares directly, bypassing the brokerages - it's called Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPS).
"Drips are offered by companies to their shareholders as a way to buy stock directly from the company (usually through a transfer agent) in very small amounts to large amounts, and usually on a monthly basis if desired. The plans also reinvest all or partial dividends paid (it's up to the shareholder) into more stock, thus the name "Dividend Reinvestment Plan." from Fool.com

Most large corporations allow what is called "direct investment" in their stock. Look it up, learn about it, then look at each company's website that you have interest in and go that route. Using a broker seems to make things go easier...but, if you like forms and dealing w stuff thru the mail...then go the direct investment route.

An option that you have to get started is to buy mutual funds. You can buy them directly from the mutual fund company and there is less risk than buying one or two stocks. You do have to do some research though because 70% of mutual funds underperform the market in general. There are load funds and no load funds. Load funds charge you a fee to invest about 2% to 5%. Funds also have expenses that they charge you which reduces their return. Index funds have less expenses but only match the general market indexes less expenses.
There are advantages to using a broker to buy stocks, especially the on line brokers. Their fees are reasonable and some provide you with a wealth of research material which comes in very handy when you are trying to determine which stocks to buy.
