Some companies offer direct stock purchase plans (DSPPs) that allow you to purchase stock without using a broker. If you are planning to buy a small amount of a certain stock, this may be your best option. This approach saves you the time and cost of going through a broker.  Search online or call the company whose stock you wish to buy. Ask them if they offer a stock purchase plan. If they do, the firm will forward you a copy of their plan's prospectus, application forms, and other relevant information. A prospectus is a regulatory document that discloses all of the important information about a stock purchase. Many plans allow you to invest as little as $50 per month. Verify any fees you need to pay. A few companies offer no-fee investment plans. DSPPs also allow you to reinvest all your dividends automatically if you desire. Dividends are paid to you based on the profits of the company. The company’s board of directors must declare a dividend in order for a payment to take place. If you can't buy the stock you want directly from the issuing company, you'll need to find a broker. Brokerage houses vary in terms of the services they provide. This means you'll need to compare your options and choose the brokerage that suits you best. Generally speaking, there are two types of brokers: full-service and discount.  Full-service brokers are more expensive. These firms target their services toward investors interested in receiving recommendations and guidance. The higher fee may be worthwhile, however, because full-service brokers can provide valuable assistance. If you’re not confident in your ability to pick stocks, or if you don’t have time, consider working with a full-service broker. If you plan to make your own investment decisions, choose a discount broker. There is no point in paying a higher fee for services you aren't going to use. Still, you must examine each broker's platform closely to make sure their offerings align with your investment objectives. Search the Internet for online discount brokers. Analyze the fees, particularly any additional charges that may not be mentioned when you first contact a prospective broker. Ask for a written disclosure of all fees charged. Contact a broker about opening an account. Your broker will have you fill out a new account form. This form documents your personal information, along with your investment experience and your risk tolerance.  Your broker must report your stock trades to the IRS. Specifically, sales proceeds from a stock sale, along with dividend income, are reported to the IRS. You will need to fill out the required forms and send them back to the broker. Determine how to deposit funds into your brokerage account. Send your broker an initial deposit of money that will be used to make your first stock purchase. Enter an order. Notify your broker of the company's stock you want to buy and the number of shares. When your trade is completed, you will receive a confirmation. The confirmation is your record of the purchase. Keep all of your confirmations on file.
