The most common way is to purchase a mutual fund. These can be purchased directly from the mutual fund company. If the fund is a no load fund, which many are, there will be no up front costs. \n\nAs one of the responders mentioned, you can buy stock directly from the company in some instances. But in order to do that you must already own some shares in your name. \n\nWith the advent of internet stock brokers, the commissions are no longer so costly. Some on line broker charge only $7.00 a transaction. A small fee considering the services you receive. \n\nRemember. Once you buy the shares, at some point you may wish to sell them. That will require a broker. Mutual fund shares are purchased back by the mutual fund. Again there is no fee.

If you have to ask this question, I would recommend that you not even pursue this course until you have studied the existing options for investing.  If you are referring to buying stock commonly traded on an exchange, you have several options, none of which is advisable for a beginner, nor for someone who does not have already, considerable savings on hand, especially if you are a student.\n\nIf you are referring to buying equity shares in a private company, then that is a different matter altogether.  Unfortunately, as terminology can vary from country to country, and as you haven't provided many details, it is impossible to reliably advise you.\n\nI will assume you are talking about buying "stocks" on an exchange.  If you are in the United States, one normally opens an account with a broker.  There are online brokers you can use like Scottrade, Ameritrade, etc.  Normally one fills out some paperwork and sends it in with a check/draft/wire deposit.  You can then buy and sell stocks through this broker.  You place an order on a stock, like GE for example, which the broker fills.  \n\nI would experiment with this on quote.yahoo.com before doing it for real.  There are also lots of places you can turn to for investment advice.\n\nA safer thing to do with your money if you are a student (at university if you are out of the house) is to put the money in savings, certificate of deposit, money market fund, or other low risk option.   An option many investors use to buy stock at slightly lower risk is called a mutual fund.  Research these options thoroughly.\n\nGood luck.

You do not need a degree to become a financial advisor.  Ideally having a Bachelors degree would be a plus, however, you only have to complete a series of tests to become a licensed financial advisor aka Broker.

Hi Frankie,\n  There are quite a few websites that you can go to for info. But if your just starting out I would suggest Yahoo finance page. From there you can browse through the listings on the left hand side. Go slow and learn the basics day by day. Before you drop one cent into the market, I strongly urge you to test you new found "skills" by paper-trading. This is trading without money. There are a number of sites that allow you to do paper-trading, virtualstockexchange.com being one. This will teach you discipline which you must have or you will lose your shirt & pants and underwear. Do this type of trading for at least 60 days. Iknow I know, you want to make money now. Be patient, this will be the best education you will ever get for trading. It's sorta like the difference between reading a book on swimming or getting in the water and you apply what you read, once your comfortable wading a bit, then you can go to deeper waters,(real cash). \nGo into each trade with a set goal of profit AND loss objective. Always use real or mental stops. Stops are prices you set for closing out the trade, both for profit AND loss, you can place them at the same time you place your order or any point after, I prefer the latter.  \n  Also, be highly skeptical of get rich quick schemes, programs and books/tapes, if their formulas were so great, why are they trying to make a few bucks from you buying them? I doubt it's because they really, truly love you, and they are hoping to receive the NOBLE PRIZE for humanitarianism. \n  I also suggest you spend some time reviewing the info the exchanges have on their websites, invaluable. And let's not forget our boys at the SEC. They have a great wealth of info on particular stocks and companies, a must site.\n  That being said, I wish you the best of luck, cause you will need it, and always remember, your trading points not dollars, this will keep you from getting too emotional, but you will anyways. \nSee ya at the bank...(hopefully not the blood bank)

I would strongly recommend that you educate yourself first and foremost (http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-01,GGLG:en&q=courses%2BUS%2Bmarket%2Btrading).\n\nNext you should develop some sort of trading system that you can test on historical data.\n\nOnce you feel your system will work, you should test it with disposable amounts of cash.\n\nThe most critical skills you will need to be a success, by the way, relate to controlling your actions and curbing the natural human instinct to self-sabotage.\n\nAll the best with it!\n\nCheers\nAlister\nhttp://www.marketscience.com.au

Since you in west africa that might be very very hard for you to invest. Most companies allow you to sign up online, I use Sogoinvest.com but you'll have to look at a company that does this in your country. I'm sure theres one company that does it.

a general understanding of commodity trading, portfolio management and economic trends would seem to be in order. Most jobs require at least a B.S. Most of the jobs I saw were looking for someone that had 5 years experience or an advance degree (Financial Engineering was hot last year).\n\nFXGame - Currency Trading Game might be a way to test some of your knowledge and skills without risking any cash.

Neither degree is "required" for becoming a stock broker.  You must get various securities licenses to do the job.  Series 6 & 7 licenses along with some others to qualify you to sell various insurance and investment products.  A stock broker (usually called an account executive) is essentially a sales position.  While you do need the knowledge and background in securities and invesmtents, the successful broker is the one who can bring in new clients and generate commission dollars.
