Has anyone bought any stock before from the stock market?

If so, can anyone tell me how I can purchase stock for an investment? =)

etrade.com lets you do it yourself

for years. Stock Market IS NOT a get rich quick program. get started with a broker... Look for one in the Phone Book Yellow Pages.... but I would suggest talking to some one locally that is in the stock market and get them to advise you about a broker.

i assume you have some capital to invest. first of all you have to study what is all about share, how the stock markert works. then join the web site where providing the program which provide the the data represents the movements of the certain stock which you want to invest. watch and study the stock you want to invest closely --the simplest way to invest is that buy at low price and sell that at high price.

www.tdameritrade.com is nice broker
remember that you need skills to trade or invest.

Individual stocks are very volatile. You can make a killin' or lose your investment in a short time. If you are new to the game, I would suggest buying mutual funds where you own a few shares of 100's of companies. (safety in numbers. . .) I use tdameritrade, an on-line brokerage service to buy and sell stocks and mutual funds.
If you don't have a lot of money to invest at one time I would consider checking out sharebuilder.com where you can buy small amounts of stock for $4 or less. The cheapest way to buy either stock or mutual funds is on-line, forget about banks and stock brokers they will rob you. So set up an account, do a little homework and have fun!

Go to any online broker and sign up. I use etrade.

Contact a brokerage firm or your bank if they have a broker on staff. I highly recommend an account that gives you the flexibility of trading via the web; not talking to a broker and waiting for trades.

Remember that playing the stock market is a dangerous game, but it can be fun and lucrative; just remember the fees involved at the end.
