Answer 3

Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share. They are notoriously risky but if you follow a special method I've learned you can earn good money at almost no risk. This is the site I use: http://pennystocks.toptips.org

I definitely recommend subscribing to this site in particular. 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. I especially like that he doesn't send out announcements left and right. I've signed up for other websites that fill my in-box with one company after the other. I don't know where to even start with so many choices in front of me! Nathan sends me one idea a week and that's all I need. Working so many hours during the week leaves me with very little time when I get home to start doing tons of penny stock research. I'm always eager to see what Nathan's next suggestion is each Friday and I love having time on the weekend to do my research.

As said above if you want to make money with penny stocks you have to follow some proven methods. This one in my opinion is the best: http://pennystocks.toptips.org

Answer 4

Absolutely not. But buying few shares is less effecient. I have a ScottTrade acct and I get charged $7 a trade wther I buy 5 or 500 shares.

My portfolio which is approx $3,000 consists of few of some stocks (10 of this, 19 of that and 50 of another)

Answer 5

One share but the commissions are too high to make sense to do that.
If you have a discount broker and don't mind the price a single share of stock makes an excellent gift for a child. I hear Disney stock is pretty so they could take the share and frame it then when vacationing tell everyone they are their boss because they own the company. A share of MCD might make lunch more fun for them too and then they would have something to watch in the stock market reports.

Answer 6

Depends on the broker.

Sharebuilder (www.sharebuilder.com) has an interesting program that allows you to allocate a fixed amount to invest. Once a week, they pool all the investors purchase orders, buy the appropriate amount of stock, and then distribute that pooled order appropriately to everyone's accounts. That system actually allows you to purchase fractional amounts.

In a traditional broker arrangement, you'd need to buy at least one share. (And, in the case of Berkshire Hathaway "A" stock, which goes for over $107,000 per share, you'd probably only want to purchase one share!)

Answer 7

The minimum is one share.

Keep in mind that your broker may charge you more if you don't trade in round lots (100 shares).
Also, the New York Stock Exchange will charge you an extra 12.5 cents per share (added to the purchase price or deducted from the selling price) if you don't trade in round lots.

Sharebuilder allows you to buy fractional shares, for extra fees, of course.

Note that the round lot for Berkshire Hathaway Class A Shares (NYSE:BRK-A) is 10 shares, since each share is worth $105,000.

Answer 8

This penny stock service has years of proven experience. Ultimately it is the best service for beginners to use https://tr.im/pennystocktrading
You will have to wait between 3 and 10 days to get into the system in most cases. When I signed up it took 8 days. I wished it was faster, but if you can wait a week or two to start earn life changing money than you will have what it takes to make it in this business.

Answer 9

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/ed075

Answer 10

Depends on the broker if using a service.

If you buy from a start-up, the company itself may decide to have a minimum shares to invest with them.

Answer 11

One--I own only one share of a particular stock (of course it costs about $3500/share.)

Note that there are only a couple of stocks where buying just one share could be cost effective.
