Targeted small investment

    Hello,

    A few times in my life, I have thought "that company is going to do well, wish I could buy shares" and 2 years later the company is going through the roof.

    I have another company in mind that will explode once it releases its product. I am a complete investment newbie, and really am only interested in targeting specific companies for stocks.

    Would I need to set up a trading account via AIB (whom I currently bank with), or is there an easier alternative to do this? Can you contact and buy shares directly if the company offers this?

    Kind Regards,

    Kai.

    Are you talking about a publicly traded company here or a privately owned one?

    There will be no shares available on the open market in a private company. Depending on the type of company it is and its financial structure they may be looking for investors. The process there is way more complicated and not near as liquid as publicly traded shares. Also, there may be a minimum investment amound that is likely to be in the thousands.

    They might have an investor relations section on their web site if its a big company other than that you will have to talk directly to them. Beware though, this is a high risk investment. While the product may be good the company itself might be poor and never make money.
