Quickest Way To Own Shares

Tidyweb

If I wanted to buy shares - what is the quickest - reasonably priced - way to do it.

Go into the bank and ask them to buy them for me?
Use credit card online, can you use a credit card to buy stock?
Post a cheque to agent?

Any ideas of how long it would take

Hey tidyweb,

I believe buying at a bank counter will result in a very high commission rate. Best off using one of the online brokers mentioned in the sticky above

Tidyweb

what is quickest way to lodge money in these

It depends on the broker you go with, it could probably be either a cheque when providing documentation to open the account or an emts transfer once it is open.

Avoid Davy, they're too expensive for transaction only buying. I would get a reputable online broker (do some searching in this forum, you will find loads of advice on that) and then even if the broker you choose is based abroad, you can wire your money over once you have your account set up and then place the order online.

Make sure you have researched properly what you are investing in. There will always be opportunities.

What do you mean by transaction only buying?
