Two years ago I decided I wanted to learn about the stock market and online trading. I signed up for a sharebuilder account and bought two stocks-- 1 share of Apple Computer (went from 45 two years ago to 97 today) and 80 bucks worth of another company that has since gone bankrupt. I also have $30 in my sharebuilder account labeled "money market."
Bare with me I'm an idiot here-- know very little about stocks. Now I check sharebuilder every so often to look at my 1 share of Apple Computer. My question is-- now what?
If I wanted to trade it and cash in my money, do I have to pay a fee? What if I want to buy another company's stock (actually, I want to buy a share of QQQQ)?
If I want to buy more stocks, what do I click on? It says, "automatic investments $4". Is an automatic investment a one-time trade, cause that's what I think I'd want to do?
I just have the itch to play with sharebuilder and learn something. What do I do? Thanks. Yes, I check back for answers. :)
