To buy stocks online you will need to use the services of a broker. There are quite a few online brokers such as ETrade, Scottrade, and TD Ameritrade. While all allow their customers to purchase stocks all have slightly different fees and services.

Determining which firm and broker one should utilize is among the first crucial steps that should be taken. Once this decision has been made, one can then visit the website of the firm and broker in order to see if there is an online application. If not, one can contact them directly, and then make the necessary payment.
