I think you're asking something different than what's been addressed so far...\n\n1.  An investor (could be an invdividual like you or me, could be a professional investor such as a hedge fund) first gets a quotation for the stock.  Nowadays this is done via the Internet (you and me) or over a dedicated electronic system with a terminal in the fund's office (hedge fund guy.)\n\n2.  Next step is to decide what kind of order to place.  There are two basic types: 'market orders' are orders to buy the shares at the best available price at the moment the order reaches the trading destination (more on that in a sec) and 'limit' orders specify a maximum price you are willing to pay; if the prevailing price when the order reaches the trading destination is above that your order won't be filled.\n\n3. The 'trading destinations' take several possible forms.  Exchanges are generally physical places with folks running around, waving arms, pointing and scribbling while they fill orders that have come from the folks described above.  But there are also electronic trading destinations such as Nasdaq and 'ECNs' like INET, Brut, Archipelago and others in which orders are simple entered into an electronic 'order book' and whenever a buyer's price and a seller's price match, a trade is made.\n\n4.  When you, or I, or the hedge fund guy want to trade we have to give our order to a brokerage firm and they will represent our order in one of the venues described above.  They try to match our order with someone else willing to sell the stock to us (in my example we're using a buy order, so a seller is on the other side of the trade.)\n\n5. The brokerage firm will also handle whats called the 'settlement' of the trade.  The back office of our broker will take care of paying the seller's brokerage firm for the stock, and will get the shares from the seller's brokerage firm for deposit in our account.  This happens on the so-called 'settlement date', which is generally three business days after the trade date. \n\nWe now own the stock.\n\nVoila.\n\nGood luck.

E-bay does allow you do list things locally.  That can save shipping and payment complications.\n\nAlso have a look at some of the free papers distributed in your area.  We have the Penny Saver and Buy-and-Sell.\n\nNote, if you list it at E-bay you can set a reserved bid so you don't get low-balled.\n\nNote 2, once listed on E-bay you can't sell it by another mechanism unless your auction completes without any bid over your reserve.

About common stock, the market will set the price on common stock. The buyer puts bid price and the amount of stock he or she willing to buy. The stock holder puts sell price and amount of stock on sale. In the market, you can see bid price and sale price. Once the two price becomes the same, the transaction would make base on the amount of stock. When the transaction occur , the stock price will show on the market. \n\nOther stock type\npreferred stocks: Capital stock which provides a specific dividend that is paid before any dividends are paid to common stock holders, and which takes precedence over common stock in the event of a liquidation. Usually does not carry voting rights.This stock price is set by company.\n\nmarket price: A security's last reported sale price (if on an exchange) or its current bid and ask prices (if over-the-counter); i.e. the price as determined dynamically by buyers and sellers in an open market.

There was 1000 shares available for sale when you entered the ordered and that amount was filled.  15 min. later 1100 more became available.   There has to be a seller willing to sell for you to purchase.  This is especially true on orders placed at a particular price but it also happens on market orders.  A portion of the order will be filled at a particular price and other portions at other prices.

Simply open an account with a broker - I recommend an internet broker such as E*Trade.  They are cheaper but do not offer any advice - you have to decide when to buy or sell.  \n\nThere are 2 types of brokerage accounts - cash and margin.  In a cash account you must pay for stock purchased within 5 days of your purchase.  This is the only approach for a beginner.  \n\nDO NOT TAKE DELIVERY OF YOU SHARES - leave them with your broker - they are safe there and if you have them and loose them they transact like cash and there is no insurance against theft etc. Also when your broker holds the shares you can make an immediate sale without sending the shares back to the broker via registered mail. \n\nAfter you build up your account (amount depends upon the broker and your holdings) you will be able to switch to a margin account.  In this type of account you buy stock on the strength of the stock you hold with the broker (buying on margin).  In other words, if you have 100% equity in say $100,00 in stock, the broker will extend credit of maybe $150,000 and you can buy additional stock up to that amount with no additional cash.  \n\nHOWEVER there are MAJOR pitfalls to buying stock on margin. 1) the broker will charge you interest on the amount you owe and MORE IMPORTANTLY if your holdings begin to slide in the market the broker will sell as many of your holdings as necessary to cover the credit (margin) the broker extended to you - this is referred to as a margin call.  A margin call is done by the broker WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION and depending upon the volatility of the market can happen within hours.. \n\nMnay, many, many people have lost everything by over extending their margin buying and then loosing everything via a margin call.  I recommend you only use a margin account to cover your purchases while your check for your purchases in enroute to the broker.

Assuming you live in the US investing in the share (stock) market is as simple as:\n1. Opening a brokerage account with one of the brokerage firms such as Wells Fargo, TD WaterHouse, Ameriprise with a deposit of say $1000 and start buying and selling shares online.\n2. Initially you could buy shares upto your deposit amount\n3. As you build assets you will be eligible to borrow against your assets and buy stocks on margin even if you don't have cash in the account. This is a risky strategy and should be employed by experienced investors

There is a small place where you can type in your stock (Lnumber) for example, I have MIcrosoft and that stock number is MSFT.. so I type that into the little blank space asking for stock quote. I can get that also on yahoo home page and others.. I am sure you have some place on your home page indicating or with the words stock quotes.

A "stock option" is a set price for a group of stocks in a company.  Usually given to employees, sometimes to investors directly realted to a company.  With a stock option, you can get say a group of 100 stocks at an option to purchase for $5 each.  The option matures at some point in time where you can actually make this purchase at said price.  But, there is a possibility that the market price for the stock could be $100 at that time.  You just made $95 per stock on the purchase.  A real incentive for employees to work harder to make their company worth more in the market place.

If you want an item, wait until the auction is almost over, unless it is a "Buy Now."  Before you bid, check their feedback to make sure they are reputable.  You can "watch" the auction by clicking an icon to the right of auction [I think. I sell more than buy].

go to the finance home page (the link is on the main yahoo page) and then type in the symbol of the stock you are interested in.  It will then give you a list of several options, one of which is the message board.

Good question.  I wish that more people would LEARN about how the stock market exists and participates in its usage.\n\nThe best way, first of all, is to understand the fundamentals of business.  Not just how it works, but what constitutes profit, earnings, etc. Once you have a fair understanding of how business works, then you are ready to understand the stock market.\n\nDON"T get into it, though, if you are just looking to make money WITHOUT doing any work, either in researching the companies, or in researching the people who research the companies (broker consultants)!  That is probably my only caveat. \n\nNow...start here for your stock market tutorial... Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.investopedia.com/university/stocks/\n\nRemember me in a few years when you are filthy rich so I can do research for you at 8 bucks an hour...

There are two ways you can deal in shares:\n\n1. Contact a local stock broker and request him to create a trading account for you.\n\nYou can then check the current price of Reliance Communications shares and instruct your broker to purchase the number of shares you wish to purchase (depending on your budget).\n\n2. Visit www.icicidirect.com to create an online trading account yourself. The process takes roughly 15 days for the documents to be verified and for your bank account to be linked to the trading account.\n\nYou can then look for the Reliance Communications shares at the various shares listed at the website and purchase them with the click of your mouse. The money will automatically be debited from your linked bank account.
