Where do you find a stock broker?
i want to buy about 500-1000 in stocks and just leave it alone, watch it in the papers thu out the years. my questions is , where do you find a stock broker, do you actually go into a office or is it on the phone. i do not want to use anyone but name brand! however do not even know who is name brand brokers. i figure i would invest in a something i use around the house. tips welcome.

hi, I use an online broker, scott trade, (www.scottrade.com) which has an office by my house. I have never been in there, nor needed to as I can do everything I need from my desk. I highly recommend them. if you are looking for long term investments, try toyota, the leader in fuel cell research, mcdonalds, which never loses, pharmacutical companies can also be good. good luck!

If you currently have a bank account, try your bank. Most large banks, like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi all have investment operations and you may get a good deal on commissions and expenses if you already have an account. These days you don't need to go into a branch to open an account with whatever broker you choose, I pretty sure you can open an account online.

Why does it have to be a "name brand" broker? A "name brand" broker is going to make you pay in expenses and fees. It's kind of like saying the Nike shoes at Wal-Mart are of a lesser quality than the Nike shoes at Saks (Does Saks even sell Nikes?). They are the same exact shoes. Same goes for the stocks you buy at a brokerage. I use Wells Fargo for all my investments.

As for tips, $500-1000 is not a lot to be well diversified. Sure you could buy 10 shares of this and 10 shares of that, but you're going to pay out the nose in commissions. If I was you I would buy Vanguard Total Index (Symbol: VTI). It is like buying most every stock on every US exchange. Go to yahoo finance and type the symbol VTI into the "Get Quote" box and you can read all about VTI.

It's your money do whatever you want, I don't care.

Scottrade is a good company, there is no maintenance fees or anything like that, and plus it is only $7 a trade, you could also check out Ameritrade or Etrade but they are a little more in the commissions.

You're a young girl, and wise to invest and hold. My favorite deep discount broker (only charges $10 for stock trade) is tdameritrade. Go to their page, or call 800-454-9272. You'll send them the money, and open an account. That little in stock, I'd recommend GE (General Electric). They are in your house, and all around you. If you want to buy and hold, you can also buy into their Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRiP) 1-800-STOCKGE.

You have to trade online using internet. You can buy stocks from some companies like Sogoinvest at very cheap rates of $3-$1.

Ameri-Trade. It costs almost nothing, and you can invest in what ever you want. They will give advice,if needed.
