how to start investing for a new investor?
Hey guys,
I'm looking to start investing, rather than just dump my money into mutual funds where I get dinged by fees etc.
I own stock at my own company through SPP, with an amazing discount + bonus + no fees, but that's it.
I'm looking at starting some DRIP's, pushing some onto my kids for their future, and also for myself for my future.
I don't know where to start. How does one actually go about getting stock? I've heard some say that I should take a course on brokerage and try to become my own, but I'm not sure about the risk of that.
I understand that every purchase for shares usually comes with a fee (which is where being my own broker would help with that...?)
So any help on that would rock. (I'm not looking for stock advice, I know where I want to invest, just not... how...)
Thanks,
