How would buying a stock work? I pay a fee for the stock, and pay for the current share price? Once I bought the stock, do I have to keep making payments on it???

Also, what is a good stock trading company. I see all these companies like scotttrade and all that, I just want a company that I can buy my stocks from and not have to pay a ton of fees and what not…

Thanks

I’m invested in ONT and have now recieved 4 proxies inwhich I continued to vote against the ONT google merger. Why have I recieved four proxies? Also forthe first time today the stock has begun trading over the BOD’s agreed .60 purchase price. Why is this and is this a sign of some sort. Maybe a higher bid? Any info is thankful!

If I want to get a stock, say Yahoo’s daily trading data (High, low, close, volume) in the last year, where can I get it?
Note that I want the data, not just the google or yahoo chart.

Example:

If a company paid a dividend of $5.10 per share and the yield was 8.14%, how much is the stock currently trading at?
Dividend divided by stock price equals yield (%)
Thank you!

I’m learning how to trade stocks online. When I go to the website, there are five ways to order: ‘market’ (which I think means I buy and sell the stock at the market price), but what about ‘limit’, ’stop limit’, ’stop’, and ‘trailing stop’? And re: transactions, I can buy and sell, but what does it mean to ’short’ and ‘cover’? (How are those different from buying and selling?) And for duration, there is ‘day’ and ‘GTC’–to what do these refer? Thanks for any help you can offer.

I will probably only make a few trades per year. l might not make any trades for a long time after I buy my initial stocks. I like the buy and hold stategy. Also I would like to earn interest on my account while it is not invested.

I am just now looking to invest some money in some penny stocks and such. Nothing serious, just a couple hundred bucks or so….just to learn how it works and get started. Which platform should I use with regard to making LOW DOLLAR AMOUNT TRADES… Scottrade, etrade, ING, forex, etc….
When I say low dollar amount, I mean around $200.00 per transaction…that seems like a good dollar amount I can learn the ropes with.

When you use an online investment company such as lets say they say 3.99 per trade does that mean I can buy as many stocks in a company for 3.99? So lets say I wanted to buy 1000 shares in Coca Cola would it just cost me 3.99 with commission? More for clarification purposes before I shoot myself in the foot.

Thanks in advance.

I am sure I am not the first to try this approach. It’s based on the formula that every time you increase your principle by1 percent, then every time you do this 100 times, your principle will be double. so if you average 1 percent gain on selling a stock, and you do this 20 times a day then your principle will double every 5 days.

I imagine there is something similar to this that day traders try to do. I know you will never consistently make one percent on every trade, but if you average that, then it still works out. Gaining one percent on a stock isn’t that hard, is it?
