you'll need a brokerage,,,,fidelity is my preference..then do some homework. why are you investing, how much can you invest, and how much risk can you tolerate......educate yourself before making decisions, or you'll end up paying for services or products you may not want or need

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

Not sure I understand the question.  If you want to change your shares owned, then buy more or sell some depending on the current price.

Call your broker and ask if they have any "IPO's" <Initial Purchase Offerings> ... typically they are underwriting these and can lead you to the one's they watch ... don't just trust their word though ... follow the research on your own on the internet.

Open an Account on www.ameritrade.com\nNext you wire some money into that new account. This will usually take a couple of days. \nYou are charged per trade. A trade is approx. $12. You can buy as many shares as you like. Usually people buy in lots off 100.

I assume this is a publicly traded company??  If not then the company sets the rules on how the stock is redeemed (sold). The least expensive, but not the quickest, route would be to open an Internet brokerage account. Otherwise go to any broker and expect to pay as much as a few hundred dollars.  Broker fees vary by broker, number of shares in the transaction and value of the stock. \n\nKEEP IN MIND - if this is publicly traded stock, protect it as you would cash.  If you lose it, it is gone.

Some companies do allow you to buy stock directly from them. They use Direct Purchase Plans (DPP) and a Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIP).

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.

usualy the best way to do this is through newspapers. Post an ad stating your are looking for investors for your company. Do a quick explanation of the concept and minimum amount of money required to become an investor. Include a phone number for people to reach you and ask questions or set up a meeting. good luck!

Check out the nasdaq website. Look up that company, find out how much one share of stock is selling for. Then find out the number of available shares. Then multiply the two. That's your answer.\n\nThat doesn't mean you could buy the company for that figure, but that will answer your question.

As far as I know, you can only buy stocks from a broker.  If you're a beginner investor and want to invest in stocks while lessening your risk, start out by investing in stock mutual funds.  Some of those you can buy direct from the mutual fund company.  Fidelity has a large array of funds you can choose from.

You have to satisfy the exchange requirements, or trade it on the bulletin boards. You can refer to www.sec.gov for information on how to list your company.\n\nIt won't happen overnight, but can be beneficial if you are looking for additional financing. The key is to find interested investors.

No, but typically, it's pretty inconvenient to invest with a company directly.  The easiest way is to open an account with a broker and execute your trades there.

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.
