I want to buy one share of stock (update) *please lock*

THEPAIN73

Not as a gift or anything. Well, it's a gift to myself and I have always wanted a share of stock to frame.

I will buy the frame seperate. I just want the lowest cost of buying a single stock. I don't plan on selling it or anything. I just want to buy.

It's a share of WWE if that makes a difference.

Looking at a couple of sites like Oneshare.com they charge another price at the end. So would it be easier to buy from a stock broker(?) or to buy from one of these gift sites?

Not that I know anything about buying and selling stock, but the price at the end is probably the price after the broker's fee and everything else.

You can buy one share through any of the online brokerage sites. Usually they just keep the stock in your online account, although there should be an option to hold the physical certificate if you ask. Honestly it might be less of a hassle to go with a gift site though.

You're going to end up paying "extra" no matter where you go.

Here you go. There is a $39 transfer fee because dealing with actual stock certificates is truly a pain in the fucking ass for brokers.

Yeah there's always a brokerage fee, that's why most people buy stocks in the hundreds (or thousands)

Anarchia

Along with brokerage fees, there are also "odd lot" fees. Most brokers will charge you extra for dealing in any amounts of stock that aren't a multiple of 100, since that's the standard unit for them. You're probably going to end up spending as much on getting the individual stock in physical form as the stock itself, I bet.

If you just want a certificate, and don't care about the actual value, check eBay. There are tons of certificates from companies no longer in business.

are you dead set on WWE?

I mean, if you are, that's cool, but if you just want some stock to frame and hang up, blockbuster is going for like .26 cents right now, so it wouldn't be much more to pick up 50 or 100 shares and get a certificate, and actually have some stock on hand should they turn the company around (doubtful)

Thanks everyone for your help everyone!

I decided to go through Oneshare.com.

So this can be locked and sealed.
