do you need a stockbroker to invest?

Answer 1

Banks are normaly cheaper, Halifax sharebuilder £1.50 to buy, £11.95 to sell.

Answer 2

You can open an online account with Scottrade.com. Each online trade is $7. I think the account minimum is $250 or $500.

If you are looking for investment ideas, I think the best way to get started is to see what the best traders are buying and selling. This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.

Answer 3

Absolutely not!!! BUT....

Any investor starting out would be making a big mistake by trying to invest on their own, especially if they think that they can pick individual stocks to start their portfolio. Mutual Funds are the best vehicles for most investors due to their professional management and diversified portfolios their particular areas of the market. Often, a "broker" or Advisor can help you to determine which areas of the market might be the best fit for you at this point in time - back in 1999 can you guess what area of the market individual investors threw the majority of their money towards??? Yep, Large Cap Growth, mostly tech...only to watch that area of the market lose ~70% of its value over the next three years. It is very difficult for an individual investor not to chase what has worked, and an advisor can help with that by taking some of the fear/greed and emotions out of your investment process. The cost to work with an Advisor is often the same as if you were to try and go online and pick your own funds -

Answer 4

You'll need a brokerage to make the trades for you, but you can make your own investment decisions if you like. Try Scottrade... $7 for most transactions, all online. I've been happy.

Answer 5

to INVEST no. There are ways you can buy shares directly though the company but to sell them then you need a bank or broker. I would just go ahead and set up a broker account.

Answer 8

the best trading software http://tradingsolution.info
i have attended a lot of seminars, read counless books on forex trading and it all cost me thousands of dollars. the worst thing was i blew up my first account. after that i opened another account and the same thing happened again. i started to wonder why i couldn,t make any money in forex trading. at first i thought i knew everything about trading. finally i found that the main problem i have was i did not have the right mental in trading. as we know that psychology has great impact on our trading result. apart from psychology issue, there is another problem that we have to address. they are money management, market analysis, and entry/exit rules. to me money management is important in trading. i opened another account and start to trade profitably after i learnt from my past mistake. i don't trade emotionally anymore.
if you are serious about trading you need to address your weakness and try to fix it. no forex guru can make you Professional trader unless you want to learn from your mistake.
