i think If youre looking to invest in the stock market, there are many places that can help you get started. You can choose from one of the various online discount brokerages, or you can go more local and find a commissioned broker in your area. The downside to a commissioned broker is that they generally have higher fees and may have higher minimum requirements. The benefits of an online brokerage are generally lower fees and more options. Simply search for online discount brokerages on Google and youll come up with several pages worth of options to choose from. Find which one fits your needs and get started. I would stress though that if investing in the stock market is new to you then certainly find ways to educate yourself as there are numerous free tools available that Ill be covering in a future post.
