- The best thing to do is go to 401k.com its from Fidelity.
- work out how much you are willing to loose and stick to that budget. - and if the comapny is still there in years to come, your stocks will look a lot healtheir. See a stock broker to buy the shares the right way.
- There are a number on on-line brokerages you can use.
- I have an account with e-trade.com, but there are a lot of other sites. You can probably search for "discount stock brokers" on yahoo or google and get a lot of other options. If you already know what companies you want to buy stock in there is probably no need to go through an official broker, since it can get expensive. With the discount brokers I believe you are charged a flat fee per transaction, but you will want to read the fine print on the websites you visit. Then you will be able to track how they do on the website, I'm sure most are very easy to use (e-trade is). You get to participate in a 401K through your employer, and it doesn't sound this is what you are wanting to do, plus a lot of the times you can't buy individual stocks in a 401K. You may be able to do this in a IRA, but then you will have to leave the money in there until you are of retirement age. It sounds like you are trying to open a brokerage account (described above), but you do have other options based on your investment timeline. I hope this helps.
- Simple, step by step answer: 1- Find out if the companies you want to purchase are public companies, and what their stock symbols are. 2- Open a brokerage account, I'd recommend Scottrade (http://www.Scottrade.com). 3- Fund the brokerage account with a check, wire transfer, or account transfer from another firm. 4- Create buy orders for the companies you want to purchase. You can choose market orders (buy right now at whatever price the market is at) or limit orders (where you can set a dollar amount at which you want to buy the stock if it dips that low. 5- Watch for your orders to execute. 6- Watch your stocks closely, and read the news about them, at a site like http://finance.yahoo.com.
