Question: How to buy shares online? Can anybody tell me how to buy shares online.

Answer: Everything depends on your goals & your current asset allocation (or anticpated asset allocation). Typical discount brokers (Schwab, Scottrade, Fidelity, Ameritrade, etc are available from $7.00 a trade to $12.95 a trade.\n\nYour question leads me to believe that you're new to buying shares.\n\nScottrade is a "deep" discount brooker. I have an account with them & I'm very happy. BUT DON'T USE A "DEEP DISCOUNT" BROOKER IF YOU'RE NEW TO BUYING STOCKS (the money you lose may far out weigh the savings).\n\nYou should have a good understanding of Stocks, DRIP's, Stock Funds & ETF's before you trade. You should have a good understanding of "asset allocation" before you start to buy.\n\nGood luck!
