How can I begin buying stocks?

Answer by  nate33 (62)

To begin buying stocks, you must first identify how much you are willing to invest in the stock market. Having a friend or two who are knowledgeable about the stock market and have invested money of their own would help you with decision making on which stocks to buy. A stock broker can also help you as well.
