Merril Lynch...

there are many places; you can choose a stock broker from the yellow pages or you can do your own research and investing online using E*Trade, T D Waterhouse, Schubb, T Rowe Price and hundreds of other brokerages

the cheapest and best place according to JD Power is www.scotttrade.com i would suggest using them they have nice tools and 7 dollar flat trades

Start with the bank where you already have an account. I bank at Wells Fargo, for example, and they can handle such transactions for me if I ever have enough money to try it. If your bank cannot help you, one more suggestion: Do you have a 401K or an IRA account? If you do, whatever institution has that account will probably be glad to set up a separate private account.

Certainly there are a great many stock brokerage firms in the world, and I would not presume to recommend one. Since I do have a bank that will do it for me, and a 401K plan with Scudder Investments, I'm well served already. Avoid anyone who sounds too good to be true, and keep your b******t filter on high gain. Good luck to you!

I would recommend investing via mutual funds. I like Vanguard.com However, if you have a hard time understanding their website, you may need the personal help of a broker or financial planner. You can find a local one in the yellow pages.

There are countless firms that you can invest in the stock market through. You will need to ask yourself how much help and insight and involvement from the firm itself first. There are deep-discount brokers that people have already reccommended to you ie. scottrade.com etrade.com ameritrade.com There will be virtually no involvement from them to help you. Or you can invest with Charles Schwab or Fidelity. They offer good commission rates for trades and if you call them they will be more than happy to work with you if you have questions. Or, if you really want to be hands off and pay for it-you can turn your money to a full brokerage firm like Deutsche bank/Alex brown or Smith Barny etc. You will get a broker with which you are on a first name basis with. They will sit you down and work out a financial plan with you. However, you will pay more for this service.

There are many mutual funds you might consider. Vanguard mutual funds would be a good start but remember your investment is not guaranteed like a bank saving account. Vanguard has a very good reputation but you need to understand you are taking a risk.
