How I can buy Wal-mart stock?

Wal Mart does have a Direct Stock Purchase Plan in which you can buy stock directly through their transfer agent .
To receive information, including a prospectus and enrollment form, contact ComputerShare (formerly EquiServe) at (800) 438-6278 or visit their website at www.equiserve.com.

The plan is not free. It costs $20.00 to sign up, $5.00 for each additional purchase, and $1.00 per quarter to automatically reinvest your dividends.

In case you are unfamiliar with dividend reinvestment plans. These are plans where you can buy stock directly without going through a broker and automatically reinvest your dividends. Through the magic of compounding, your investment grows exponentially over time.

Unfortunately, although these plans used to be free, as they have gained in popularity, companies have started to charge unreasonably high fees and these can wipe out your earnings if you are a small investor. WalMart is one of these that now charge a high fee. Once a company starts charging a fee, it tends to go up and up. I would check out Computershare to find examples of companies that do not charge a fee.
http://www.equiserve.com/shs/index_shs.htm WalMart is the first company on their list.

Here is a link to the page that tells about WalMart's plan:

The second company on Computershare's list is ExxonMobil. It is one of the ones where all fees are paid by the company (ExxonMobil.)

There is a $250.00 minimum to open an account with either company, but with ExxonMobil, you can pay that over 5 months. Check out the site for more companies you might be interested in. Here is a link to the complete list of stocks you can buy through this particular transfer agent.

There are many more transfer agents, which service other companies.

Don't put all your money in Walmart stock but to be honest I can't see anything wrong with their stock. People are cutting back on spending or looking for a great deal and this is where Walmart comes in. This company has everything needed to attract a wide customer range and the tougher times get the more people will shop at Walmart. The only down trend I see is Walmarts constant battle on the labor law issues. How many more settlements does it take to make Walmart conform?

I've made a nice profit on a couple of suggestions he's given and plan to start trading his ideas a lot more. I definitely recommend subscribing to https://tr.im/learnpennystock
Very good research, quality stocks. I was a bit weary of penny stocks from all the bad hype they receive but this guy is pretty legit. He's put my mind at ease with a lot of the fears I've had.

Walmart stocks can be very expensive. Last time I checked was around 60+/-. I've used Scotttrade in the past and their service is excellent! They only charge $7 for each trade, sell or buy.

Laura is absolutely right !!( *applaudes* ) Walmart offers direct buying, you don't have to get a middleman !! This enables you to put more into your purchase amount!

Check out walmart.com and request their "prospectus" and investment info.

There are 100's of companies that you can buy directly from... search for them by checking out : direct purchase plans.com or direct reinvestment programs.com. I have many MANY companies in my porfolio that I did not go through a broker to get. Don't let anyone tell you that it's not possible! Happy Investing!!!!!! : )

Depends on where you live. If you live in the United States, you can just set up an online brokerage account (Fidelity, E*Trade, etc.) and buy shares through them.

If you live elsewhere, there are probably similar things. Good Luck.

P.S. Target stock is a better buy ;-)
