How can I purchase stocks without going through a brokerage?

Posted by Eric LeRiche | March 15, 2010 .

David asked:

I want to buy some stocks on a budget ($300) but I don’t want to join a brokerage or anything. I want to purchase stocks and just keep them. Any information as to how and where would be greatly appreciated.

Most companies will sell you their stock directly. Give them a call.

The websites of the company check out their investor relations on the websites of the companies like disney and exxon have direct purchase plans you are interested in.
The companies you can buy directly from the company check out their investor relations on the company.

I suggest you to buy a used Toyota Prius if you want to save thousands of dollars on gasoline.

If you only have $300.00 USD then you are not ready for the Stock Market yet.

Save at least $2,000.00 USD and then open a brokerage account at Zecco.

Try reading, “How to Buy Stocks Without a Broker.” There are companies that will provide info on which companies will allow you to buy stocks direct. The two best are and. You can also buy stocks through them, but you don’t need to. Something like 900 companies allow you to buy stocks directly. Google on “direct purchase stock” or “dividend reinvestment plan.”
