If you plan on being a long-term buy and hold investor then visit vanguard.com and invest in a quality mutual fund or index fund.
However, if you insist on buying individual stocks you simply open a brokerage account and buy however many shares of that stock you want.
They charge you a commission when you buy the stock and when you sell the stock. The commissions vary from broker to broker, but you should not be paying more than $7.00 a trade in my opinion.
You then buy however many shares lets say 100 for this example. This gets multiplied by the current stock price lets say $5.
100 shares x $5 a share = $500 plus your brokers commission of $7 lets say. So it would cost you $507 to make that one trade.
Then you simply hold onto the stock as long as you want, and then sell it whenever you like. |

If you are planning on holding stocks for 40 years you are much better off buying stock mutual funds. A mutual fund is a managed package of many stocks that can change as time goes on. Many stocks that you buy today may not even be around in 40 years. Please email me and I will be happy to give you some mutual fund recommendations after I learn a little about you and what you are actually trying to do. I would need to know your age for example, in order to make an appropriate recommendation |

You could go to TDameritrade or etrade. They charge that low fee, but you would be better off buying directly through a dividend reinvestment plan (DRiP). Since you want for 40 years, there are probably only a handful you'd want, that will give you returns near market - my fav are GE (800-STOCKGE) and CVX (800-368-8357). You should evaluate each probably several times every year (make sure going up, etc) and on major news. Or as one person mentioned, buy into a mutual fund that matches the S&P 500. Don't worry about options for now. |

If you just want to buy them and hold them forever pick out several companies from the Dow and contact thier transfer agents (search for the company name and transfer agent) and buy and hold it through them as the fees will be less. Also, that will allow you to have the dividends automatically reinvested for you at a very low cost. Computershare is the transfer agent for several companies including exxon (xom) and ge, two stocks that would be excellent long term investments. You can also buy the stocks through them and request the certificates to put in your safety deposit box. If you aren't familiar with the market it would probably make the most sense to go to an advisor for some advice and then either buy them through them and request the certificates or buy them on your own. Another option is holding them in a cash management account which you can also use for your checking while getting a much better rate on your idle cash, though these accounts do have an annual fee. Good luck! |

"Sitting on them for 40 years" is not intelligent investing. Do some reading and learning before you buy something you may regret. |
