Demanding, are we???

I won't TELL YOU anything. There's no need to internet-yell.

Answer 2

ASK and BID

When you trade shares, that includes buying or selling, you pay different price depending on you are selling or buying. If you are buying, you are essentially placing your BID. If you are selling, you are placing your ASKing price.

When you buy a stock and hold it, the price may go up or down. When the price go up, you make money, but you really don't have that money until you sell. So you didn't realize your profit. That is called UNREALIZED gain. When you sell it, it is called REALIZED gain.

When you place an order, you can restrict when and how you want to buy or sell.

You can say, give me 100 shares at whatever the market price is right now. That is called MARKET order.

You can say, give me/sell it, at this price or lower/higher. That is called LIMIT order. It is often used in stocks where the price is rapidly moving.

How do you know it's available? Assuming you are talking about stocks traded on exchanges (most stocks), if you check the stock price, that is the price someone is willing to sell you. Place your order and it will be yours.

What do you mean "ripoff?" Most brokerage only charge 20 dollars or so for transactions. That is just the cost of investing. If you don't even know the answers to the questions you just asked, you really need NOT looking into doing it on your own.
