It's also a company in that it has revenues and costs.  It gets money from the people that have seats on the exchange among other things.\n\nIf the NYSE corporation buys the one in Europe, it will have control of it and be able to dictate policy if it wants.  It will also get the profits that come out of the other stock exchange from the various fees that are charged for trading on the exchange.

There a few things I can not remember them all. Companies have to have a certain amount of Market Capital to be on certain exchanges is one. Say a small capital company may not be able to list on AMEX but they can on NASDAQ. They just have different criteria for becoming a member.

Go ask some of your large broker houses in the US if they have access to the Australian Market. I know that some of our brokers in Australia offer the service for us to directly purchase US stocks.

First you need to own it.  If you physically have stock certificates that you want to sell, you first need to set up an account with a brokerage.  For example I use WWW.AMERITRADE.COM.  Once you have the account set up you will need to mail the certificate to them.  Once the account is set up give them a call and they can walk you though it.

You can do that.  When you buy stocks from a broker, the certificates can either be held "in house", or they can be sent to you on your request.

I do not believe that you can, but call Etrade and ask them if they have the ability. Many foreign stocks however are traded on the U S pink sheet if they are not traded on an exchange. A couple of other options open to you are to trade the foreign indexes or to trade the mutual funds that specialize in foreign markets.

You have to satisfy the exchange requirements, or trade it on the bulletin boards. You can refer to www.sec.gov for information on how to list your company.\n\nIt won't happen overnight, but can be beneficial if you are looking for additional financing. The key is to find interested investors.

I believe Google trades on the LSE as GGEA.\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GGEA.L\n\nAlso, most UK brokers can also buy shares of US-traded firms for their clients.  I expect you would pay up a bit on commissions.

I'm not aware of any limits.  You can buy or sell as many as you want.  In some developed markets if you buy more than approx 30% of the stock you can be forced to make an offer for the remaining 70%.

You would send money or some sort of equity to the online company. They would hold it like a bank.  You get on line and log in with a password to gain access to your account where you can instruct the brokerage firm to buy or sell the stocks you instruct them to.

Not every company is "public", which means that it may or may not be something that you can buy stock in.  If it isn't listed on a stock exchange (which you could find through Ameritrade, etc.), it isn't public, at least under that name.  Very likely then, it is privately owned, which means the only way you could buy in is to meet the guy who owns it now and offer him some money to buy part of his business (not likely to work out for you).  \n\nBut there's one other possibility.  If the website is owned by a larger company, THAT company may be public.  For example, ask.com, match.com, and eVite, and CitySearch are all owned by IAC/Interactive, which is traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol IACI, so you could buy in to that company through any of the online brokers.\n\nBy the way, there's no need to check with multiple brokers.  If one of them can sell it to you, they all could, and if one cannot, none will be able to.\n\nBest of luck to you.\n\nP.S. If we knew the name of the site, we might be able to help you figure out if it is owned by another company.

Okay, I don't know what all that was about...\nIf you mean buying shares of stocks, then you should open a "brokerage" account with someone like ScotTrade.\nEach share is a small piece of a company and the price is given in USD ($).\nYou buy pieces of the company and hope that the price will rise.  After some time, you can sell it into your account and keep the profit!  It is fun, too.
