Where can I buy stocks?
Seriously, where can a person buy stock in a company. I invest my money in just a few. I'm not trading every day. Just want to buy the stock and hold onto it for the long term. Seems every broker or company (E-Trade or Scottrade) may very well suck the life from this style of investing like a parasite.
Any suggestions? Or am I wrong about the two I mentioned?
Just a little background... I just closed out an investment account with my local bank after finding a none activity fee of $40 had been charged along with a $12 service fee. They then sold off 4 of my Ford stock to pay for these. All my fault for assuming this long term investment would never be touched, therefore I never looked too much at the monthly statements. Just the bottom line. Had I not even done that, In years the investment would be gone.

The transaction must be performed by a broker - which you are not. So, we general publicans needs to go to a broker in town, or online to a e*Trade, Ameritrade, etc. If you are worried about the longevity of your online broker, then you can have paper stock certificates issued, which you can put in your safety deposit box or hide in your mattress.
