I'll try to keep it simple and on point. Here's the basic gist of it:
How would I go about learning how to buy and sell stocks as a hobby? I'm not looking to get rich, nor do I have any intention of investing grand sums of money. I just want to "tinker".
I have around $1500 to play with, and here's a theoretical example of what I wanna do:
I'd love to have the basic knowledge to be able to buy, say, 25 shares of ABC Widget Company today. Then let's say, the price of that stock goes up tomorrow. I might wanna sell some of those shares.
Sounds like a pretty simple thing to most of you smart folks, doesn't it?
Well, here's the deal:
I really have no idea how I, just an average Joe, can go about buying and selling individual shares of stock. Can't just go to the store and buy 'em. Can't just call up ABC Widgets & say "I wanna buy 25 shares" (or can I?).
Hopefully some of you will have mercy regarding my ignorance on this stuff, as well as my poorly-written post, and suggest how one can get started from the absolute bottom floor.
Thanks!
