How do I figure out how many shares of a stock can I buy for any given amount, w/o actually buying them?

The answer is by using simple mathematics.\n\nFirst you need to decide how much of each stock you are going to buy - since not all stocks are priced equally some would be $20, other $400 and some 0.05 cents.\n\n$100,000 over ten stocks... Decide what ratio you will hold of each stock. E.g. 6:3:4:1:9:4:3:7:9:2\n\nSo totalling the ratio is 48. Now you can use a combination of the ratios and fractions to find out how much stock you can hold with your $100,000.\n\nI may have left you out on a limb there - but this calculation is uneccessary. Why don't you just buy your stock one by one until you run out of money? :P\n\nOK Lets try the example with 2 stocks and $100K\nyou want the weighting to be 3:4\nso you want \n3/7ths of your money to go to 1 stock\n4/7ths of your money to go to 1 stock\n\n3/7*100K=$42857.14\n4/7*100K=$57142.85\n\nNow say stock ZXC was $5 each and stock ABC was $67\n\nNow you go:\n$57142.85/$67=852.88 Stocks\n$42857.14/$5=8571.43 Stocks\n\nThere you go. Now do the similar calculation with your ten stocks! Haha!\n\nGood Luck!

1.   Write down the amount of your total investment, including fees and expenses, if any. For example, if you bought $950 worth of stock and your fees were $50, then your total investment is $950 + $50, or $1,000.  \n  \n2.   Write down the amount of profit or loss associated with your investment. If your $1,000 investment in stocks is worth $1,200 one year later, then your profit is $1,200 - $1,000, or $200.  \n  \n3.   Calculate the ROI by dividing the profit by the total investment: $200/$1000 = 0.20, or a 20 percent annual ROI.

I use sharebuilder I buy shares for my 9 year old and 6 year old. I am able to buy small amounts in disney and lowes for a reasoable price. That when they are old enough we will have a accumulated enough shares to actually have some value. I find it very helpful in doing this. THey have added new products over the years to help. And the cost to buy is inexpensive compared to the other places. It is a long term investment product.

Place the cursor in the first column of the row column descriptions, nagivate to DATA>FILTER->Auto Filter (select).  Now move to the column with say Pet type and Select "Kitten".  Move to the column with Stock balances and select Custom->Less than or equal To and enter 100. I hope this helps and answers the question.

Go to the website of the company whose stock you want to buy.  Click on the investors relations link.  There you will find information on whether or not they have a direct purchase program or not.  Usually they will have a link to open an account directly.  If the information is not there, you can usually find contact information to call or email them.\n\nIf you are going to buy 2 or 3 stocks or more, I would recommend using a broker.  This will greatly simplify your life if you ever have to change the title on your accounts or if you need tax info, etc.  It is much easier to deal with one company.  You would also get all of your info on one statement instead of many.  These days the brokerage costs are low enough to make it worth your while.  Just a suggestion.\n\nGood luck.

Anytime you buy stock or sell stock, you incur a fee. Different companies charge different fees. The on-line no frills services charge very little. I would only use Charles Schwab, one of the highest rated low cost firms.  One trade means you purchase a certain number of shares at a certain price. Example; I buy 100 shares of HP at one time for one price, I pay one fee for that. If you buy from 5 different entities, that would be 5 different trades.\n\n If you are new to investing, you need to fully understand what you are doing. One of the best ways to learn is check out Suze Orman's books on wealth, money and investing in the library. She is the best and really spells things out in simple terms, and she's honest, rare in that line of work.  She has a website too.\n\nYou really need to understand that you invest only what you are willing to loose, because the stock market is very volitile.  In fact, this past week, it took a major nose dive because the feds were saying we are close to inflation and they are raising rates. That plus other things affect the market, it's very quirky...actually bordering on silly at times given the fluctuations and reasons for them.

If you bought shares through a broker, that broker will gladly sell your shares.  If you bought these shares from an individual, you will have to find an individual buyer or seek a broker (as above).

Cost basis starts with how much you paid -- total cost plus any related expenses (commissions, fees, etc.).  Next you must add in any costs related to holding the asset in question.  Add those up and you have your cost basis.\n\nYour question is very vague and difficult to answer.  I'm not sure if you're asking about some stocks that you purchased or if you're determining basis for a company that you own or are disposing of.\n\nIn the instance of an investment.  Multiply the # of shares * the price of those shares and add in any commissions.  That's your starting point (and probably your finishing point).

Volume of the stock represents traded quantity, now for a stock to be traded, it must be bought by some one and sold by some one, right?\nSo when you say the volume of the stock is 100000 today, it means 100000 shares have exchanged hands today. Those are no of orders that were matched and executed by the exchange.\n\nDoes that answer ur question?

Just go on line and in the search engine put in"buy stocks".\nOr I use  WWW.TDwaterhouse. They only charge $9.99/transaction.

i would check with a brokerage firm rather than a bank. stock brokers would want to lock up the stock for sale when it is eligible and therefore would be better equipped to evaluate its worth.\n\ncall any of the major companies or discounters like Schwab and ask for the department that handles 144 stock.

I'm not an expert but basically you gamble between prices i.e you'll bet that the price of a company's share will rise between,say, 105 to 112 points in a day. Something along those lines my friend.

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

All investors have to file a public notice with the SEC if they acquire, I think it is 5%, or more of a company's common stock. But there is no limit to how much any investor may buy. Although, as a practical matter, companies often discourages investors from buying more than a certain share by triggering poison pills etc.
