for convience sake, find the nearest discount broker with an office.\n\nSchwab, Fidelity, Ameritrade or Scottrade ... for a few stock sales any of them would work. Scottrade being the cheapest. If you are going to leave the money in your account, then Fidelity would be best as they have a higher paying sweep money market.

It may be difficult, especially if the stocks were not held in a "gift to minor" account.  Your parents, obviously the ones who contributed the money to purchase the securities, may have had the certificates re-issued, deleting your name.\n\nIf it was held in a "gift" account, find out what bank or broker holds the account, prove that you are who you say you are, and are "emancipated", and you should have no problem in acquiring the assets.

Sure you can... talk to a discount broker. You can also throw your money into your trash can for faster results.

No, you cannot.  If you do so, your business will be considered a holding corporation, which is illegal.  A corporation has the right to own stocks in other companies, but it must have an ongoing business before it can.

if u get enough traffic u might be able to sell advertising to a trading company. However you cant get commisions on sales because you are not a licensed stock broker.

Just sell enough shares to cover the amount of money you originally invested.  For instance, if you put $1000.00 in a stock that was $0.50/share when you bought it, you should have around 2000 shares.  If the stock is now $1.00/share and you want to take out your initial investment, just sell 1000 shares.  Your sale should net around $1000.00 or 1000 shares which leaves only the profit invested.  You can then use the original $1000.00 to invest in another stock.

Really, this is a judgment call.\n\nIs there a public market for the warrants? If so, check the price you can get for a direct sale--it might be better than the profit from exercising and selling the security.\n\nIf the warrants are about to expire, then obviously this is the right time to cash out. If the warrants have a long time until they expire, and you think the company is good, you might want to hold on to them. If you owned the stock itself, would you sell it?

While both of those other answers are worthwhile and provide valuable information, they aren't entirely complete.  Yes, it is possible that a very old stock certificate could be worth some money just for the paper/collectibility value, and you should check into that.  It is also true that 27 shares of stock today may be worth the sum mentioned.  However, the company has gone through a merger recently.  More importantly, the shares may have split many times since the certificate was issued.  Thus, you may now own many more shares than what is shown on the certificate if it was issued many years ago.  \n\nSo, first, you want to check out the value of the certificate with a scripophilist (someone who collects paper), but it may be more important to check it out with a stock broker.  They should be able to find a value for it without charging you anything.  Your best best would be to try a discount broker, because they don't work on commission, and will have no incentive to try to sell you something.  Scottrade, Charles Schwab, and TD Ameritrade all have local offices that you might go and visit to find out.\n\nBest of luck to you.

These days share certificates are normally not issued.  When you buy some shares you are added to the shareholder register for that company and your broker will send you a statement every 3 months which you can use to show you own the shares.\n\nIf you received a share certificate when you bought the shares it will not normally be reissued.  You can hold shares for 50 years, and the certificate you got when you bought them will still be valid.  The only exceptions would be as follows;\n\n1. The company gets taken over.  So if you held shares in TSB they would have been replaced by shares in Lloyds TSB when Lloyds took them over.\n\n2. The share was split.  So if you owned 50 shares worth £20 each before a 4 for 1 split you would own 200 shares worth £5 each after the split.\n\nIn both cases the company involved would send a lot of information to shareholders so you should have been informed your share certificate was being replaced.\n\nYou could call the company and check, but my suggestion is to just go ahead and sell the shares.  If it is an old share certificate then they will tell you and the worst that can happen is they tell you to go find the current one.  \n\nIf it turns out you have lost the most recent certificate then they will ask you to sign an indemnity (meaning you can still sell the shares, but they will hold you liable if the certificate turns up and is used fraudently).
