Open a brokerage account with a online broker such as Scottrade.
Scottrade trading platforms are excellent, NO account maintenance fees, $7.00 online trading commission for stock over $1.00/share, $500.00 minimum to open an account, very good research resources.
Excellent customer service.
Once you establish the brokerage account deposit funds
into the account to pay for your trades.
Once the funds in your account become available for use
you can begin trading online.
When you go to your account homepage you will need to set up your stock screen(s) so you can track the stocks you are interested in.
I have mine set up in several forms such as:
1) By sector
2) One for individual stocks that I am most interested in trading.
3) ETF's
Since you are new to trading make sure you do your research before buying any stock. This includes general research. A very good website for this is Investor's Business Daily at www.investors.com.
Go to the "How To Invest " section and read the articles posted. |

1. u can usually go directly through the company. go to their web site and click on "investor relations"
2. the easiest way by far is to go to someplace like scottrade. |

I like www.sharebuilder.com. It's extremely user friendly and easy to use. There are no minimums so if you want to buy a stock and say it's $100/share but you don't have all the money at once, you can apply so much money each week , or however you wanrt to set it up, and it will buy you percentages of that share. I has easy to use searches for things like looking up the stock ticker and when you look it up it will give you the 52 week high and low plus summary information about the company itself. |

You can buy stocks online once you have a brokerage account.
You can own a brokerage account by opening one with any financial service institution that offers the service. Fidelity, Vanguard, Ameri trade, Scott trade, Etrade etc are a few of the insitutions that offer this service.
Banc of America Investment service also provides a brokerage account and if you hold atleast 25K in bank of America (savings, cd, checking-all combined), they offer you 30 free trades per month without any transaction fees.

If you have a 401K account with fidelity, they might also let you channel some of your money and purchase stock within your 401K . |

Compare all the brokerage firms before deciding which one to go with. There are factors like trading commission, minimum funds requirements, telephone orders or broker assisted orders etc. tdameritrade.com, etrade.com etc are few of them.. |
