Easy way to buy stock/shares?

I would like to buy stock, how do I go about doing it? And I don't want to use an expensive broker.
Also what feelings do any of you have about one share.com or share in a frame.com

This is what I learned about the stock market and trading:
1] I read a little about the overall market and how it works. I read about different aspects: mutual funds, currency, commodities, stocks and options.

2] I asked Qs of my coaches and mentors; suggestions were made to me.

3] THEN I read and studied about those areas which interested me.

4] I concentrated on those areas which interested me and which fit the amount we had to work with.

5A] For those strategies I felt comfortable with, I developed trading rules. For those strategies I didn't know anything about, I developed some trading rules.

5B] I discovered I only needed trading rules for 4 to 6 trading strategies.

6] Using those rules, I paper traded.

7] When trades went against me - when I lost money - I adjusted or "tweaked" those rules for that strategy.

8] I paper traded - again and some more.

9] I made further adjustments.

10] The actual trading account was opened:
As a speculator, with margin, with the approval to trade options.

11] Yes, it was VERY scary AND I was VERY apprehensive: BUT, I MADE THE BIG JUMP: Going "live" - in-the-market - with real money. I lost some money. NO ONE ever succeeds in each and every trade 100% of the time.

BUT I didn't use the entire amount of the account's money on one trade. I learned AND I lived to trade another day. AND I continue learning and living to trade other days.

AND YES, I STILL have losing trades.

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

Charles Schwab is a discount brokerage that provides good service for a fair price. They also have a good web site for their customers that lets you buy and sell on line very easily.

I think it is simply to buy stock or shares through the bank. The bubble economy of housing markets and stock markets have perverted many buyers with human nature of greed, selfish, and fear. There are millions of examples in this gambling world of wrong investment in stock markets and sub-prime loans investment in the past two years. Wanna just another new example? The Hong Kong South China Morning Post, April 16, 2008, has published an article that the Hong Kong investors ( a retired structural engineer and a housewife) put all their savings of $500,000 HK dollars into the ISTC (International Security Trade Corp.) through the referral service by the famous investment bank of Merrill Lynch, by influential booklet of Global Research,published by the famous HSBC (Hong Kong Shanghai Bank ) indicating an profit of 8 billion US dollars and all those bulls-hits. The couple has lost all their life savings because of this wrong investment for just one time.The couple is suing the Merrill Lynch now. According to Soro's book indicating all the financial investment consisting a credit bubble and it will sooner or later go burst, it is necessary to be smart on time to get the earning and run. I personally think that buying stock shares is eventually put the money in the drain. It is better to work hard for more money and save it. I personally know many Hong Kong citizens have lost 10k to five million Hong Kong dollars in the past three years.

Stock brokers are the people or companies who help you in carrying out the trading by fulfilling all the formalities. They also help in the maintenance of your financial portfolio. They use their experience to suggest you on which deal to buy and which one not to. They charge some commission from you based on the advertising service.

As eminent, internet has invaded into every field, starting from retail sale right up to marriage. The field of stock brokerage is also not very far from the reach of internet. Online brokers have not only gained an entry into the market but also have earned great popularity. Online investing has found great popularity in the recent years, the suitability being one of the major causes. Another major cause is the low commission rates of the brokers. With this, you can get the facility of stock trading right at your finger tips on a computer connected with internet.
