I want to buy a stock. How would I go upon doing so?

well,

do you have a broker that you use. He will probably charge you around 250 dollars for the buying of stocks. However, he will give you some good advice. Also, you could try another type of broker who just files your stock request(remeber, he just hands it off to a guy in the stock pit at NYSE who then buys it for you). The latter of the two will only charge around 25 dollars a trade. But you could also use e trade which will charge somewhere around 10 dollars a trade. Just go to a broker,(they are everywhere) and ask to buy x amount of the company XYZ. Or go on e trade, put some money into your account, and online, buy and sell the stock.

also, DO NOT LISTEN TO CRAMER, HE IS AN IDIOT

When I was only 14 I was making stock picks that beat the Lipper Average, (No i am not advertising, but if you are interested, hahah)

If you don't know anything about it, find yourself a broker. They know the market inside and out. If you feel confident enough to do it on your own, check trading websites like e*trade. Yahoo! Finance can give you reports on the life of a stock, as well as the Wall Street Journal's website wsj.com. If you know the company you would like to invest in, you can always go to their site for a more in depth look at the company's profile, as long as they have made their information public, which i believe might be required. Just make sure on whatever report you look at, the last period is the most recent. Sometimes information as much as a year old might be listed as current by some sources

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.

Yahoo! Finance is a great place to learn about stocks and look at charts. Watch a little CNBC. I started watching Mad Money with Jim Cramer and read his book, and since then ive been all over the stock market.

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/fb19f

You need to open an account with a broker. I recommend Charles Schwab which has substantial educational resources. You need to be of age (18 years old in the US). You need to have the minimum account amount of money. ($1,000 at Schwab.)

Yahoo Finance provides good charts.

Good luck.

Your best start is to read about 10 books on the industry and then start getiing into it. if you dont understand it you might as well go to the casino and throw away your money , it's the same thing.
