Sign up with a broker like Etrade or TDA or any other broker that you might like. Once you have an account set up, you fund it, and are then free to buy through the brokerage. The brokers are also there to help you if you have questions. I like Etrade myself. Good luck.

To invest in stocks, get a broker. its a process, and you'll need a bank account to start. TDAmeritrade was the fastest set-up i ever experienced compared to ETrade, primarily because I bank with TDBank. They both charge $9.99 commission fees no matter the size of your buy or sell order, so if you're going to trade stocks, trade in big movements, preferably a hundred dollars going into precious metals or commodities due to the notorious Brexit. Alternatively, there are trading platforms that charge a cheaper commission cost (i.e. ShareBuilder.com charges 4$) but I know nothing of their reliability. In all regards, trade with either ETrade or TDAmeritrade for the sake of real-time quotes and no advertisements. If you explore the internet and find a trading platform that suits your budget, then by all means, trade on it; some platforms are better for trading penny stocks while others are better for trading pricey stocks like Apple, Microsoft, etc. never get bummed and wuit if you lose a lot on a admittedly dumb trade; do your homework and never invest in turtles. high volume is your key to finding hot spots
