Who and where do I go to buy stock? Which is the best.?

Answer 1

You can buy stock through any stock broker, or through the online brokers. Go to Yahoo Finance to find more ads from them, or search for "online broker".

As for which stock to buy - that's the million dollar question. You can pay a broker for advice about that, but a lot of them have a track record that's about as good as picking stocks by throwing a dart at the newspaper. Your best bet is to educate yourself. Study finance, find a dummy's guide to the stock market, and go from there.

Answer 2

I think right now is not a good time to start with stocks. Give it a few days at least to rebound unless you are trying to take advantage of those who are foolish enough to sell now. A stock broker in your own town is best someone to talk to about the use of certain kinds of stock and bonds are even harder so get some professional advice to start then later you can do it yourself -might save some on that advice.

Answer 3

I trade thru Scottrade.com. A good book to read is "The Little Book that Beats the Market" - this is a a short book that will teach you a lot about investing. A good website to develop your investing skills is 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 read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own "group" so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.

If you dont have a lot to invest it is best to buy mutual funds which is basically buying a portfolio of stocks. This is best because it keeps you somewhat diversified at a low cost. I run my investments through edward d jones and their are edj offices in pretty much every city.
