in order to trade stocks you need a broker.  I suggest http://www.tdwaterhouse.com after that you can buy and sell stocks.

Its going to be very difficult these days.\nThe best way around the system is to open a trading account with an online stock broker, its just like a bank a/c, you can deposit/transfer and they even give you a ATM/debit card, and don't have to buy any stock or trade, nor go through the hassles of opening a bank a/c due to Patriot Act.\ncheck out www.etrade.com or similar co.\nGood Luck

type in MSFT into a "find a quote" box on Yahoo! Finance or MSN Money and that will tell you the most recent trade price. You'll have to open an account with a brokerage firm or an online account like sharebuilder or some similar company to buy shares.

3 ways. 1 you might write to yahoo and buy direct from the company. 2 you could hire a broker to buy your stock.  3 open up an account with e-trade or someone like that.

I use http://www.sharebuilder.com\nThey are easy to use, offer investment facts and education, and are cheap.  I can check my stocks on line at any time for free.\nOne-time trades are only $4 each trade.  (No matter how many shares in the same company)\nUsually the fee is "per trade", not "per transaction".  Many sites do not have maintenance fees.  You would pay taxes only IF you made money off of the investments.  Unless you were HUGELY successful, this would not be much.  You DO have to report the money sitting there.\nThe other fees involve what you do with the money.  If you just keep re-investing the money you make in the same trade, no fees.  If you withdraw $$, there is a fee.

Sharebuilder.com is the cheapest at $4.00 per transaction if you do automatic investing with them.  For pure trading, tradeking.com $ 4.95 is hard to beat.  For service and price Scottrade $ 7.00 is better.  For day trading and opportunity for IPO you may try ETrade.\nGood luck.
