if you mean shares of various companies, neither CVs or Target carry these.
If you are looking for meat or vegetable stock (concentrated broth), YMMV per area and store.

Your best bet is to set up an account with one of the online trading sites. I use TD Ameritrade.

You cannot use ECBs, overage, or $5 off $15 to buy stock either!!:Poke:

You may want to try sharebuilder. I haven't used them, but I know HCM has. They are one of our site affiliates and occasionally there are promos for them as well.

ROFL! Bummer!

The one thing that worries me is I have money in stocks from my grandparents. Can I still buy stocks or would I need to go through the stocks established by my grandparents. (Does that make sense?)

Not sure exactly what you mean, but you can have as many shares of stock as you want...as long as you have the cash (or the credit) available to buy. Easiest way is online --- ETrade or Ameritrade are options, though any financial advisor can help you.

Of course, you need to research if these are good investments.

I can get you a link for sharebuilder. The nice thing is, they let you buy partial shares, so if you don't have enough for 10 stocks, but can afford 9 and 3/4, they spilt the shares and let you buy, and you can do it as a one-time purchase or a recurring transaction.

Billy, from your question and responses I sense you do not have much of an idea how stock market works. Before doing any action, even before opening an account, it would be wise to yourself to learn about it.

to answer your question about your inheritance, it depends how it structured, the conditions of the will, how these stocks were acquired originally and held so far, you might be a proud owner of a paper certrificates which needed to be redeemed.

He didn't say his grandparents were dead, just that they had purchased the stock for him.

Billy, I will agree that you do need to read a little bit about the stock market before you make purchases. Most of the online trading sites have tutorials, or Google is always your friend.

Sorry, I assumed your grandparens left stocks for you after they'd be gone.

If someone else purchase a property (stocks are considered the property) for you, they either do it straight on your name and the ownership goes to you from minute one but under guardian care untill your legal age, or have a conditions when you'd receive it (trust for a specific event or age, for example) whether the giver(s) is dead or alive.
