What is the average commission fee or percent a stockbroker charges to sell stock?

I assume this is a publicly traded company??  If not then the company sets the rules on how the stock is redeemed (sold). The least expensive, but not the quickest, route would be to open an Internet brokerage account. Otherwise go to any broker and expect to pay as much as a few hundred dollars.  Broker fees vary by broker, number of shares in the transaction and value of the stock. \n\nKEEP IN MIND - if this is publicly traded stock, protect it as you would cash.  If you lose it, it is gone.

Usually there's no minimum, but some companies do charge you a fee if you're inactive.\n\nJust so you know, there are a lot of good brokererages depending on what you like and how you trade.\n\nBarron's Online has a great article on brokerages that they publish each year. (I'll try to find you the link for the March 6,2006 article)\n\nFor basic stuff, E*Trade, Ameritrade, and Scottrade are sufficient. For more complex trades, I'd recommend Optionsxpress, ThinkorSwim, or interactivebrokers. \n\nBased on what you put in your question, I'd recommend one of the first three, or maybe Optionxpress, but all are very good. Cheapest probably is scottrade (of the larger online firms). Yes there are cheaper like interactivebrokers, but you'll have to get used to their software based platform (which is doable). They're only about $1/contract on options!\n\nBrokerages like Fidelity are horrible for anyone with any decent experience. \n\nSo, decide what's important to you as a trader and compare the brokers! You can use the article, or go to each website as they all seem to have comparison charts! \n\nIf you have any questions, let me know.\n\nHope that helps!

Unless you have a lot of money to invest, a million plus, an on line broker is perhaps the best.  The other brokers do not wish to be bothered with you in general.  There are exceptions but they are exceptions.  \n\nAmong the on line brokers, there are basic brokers which allow you to trade stocks at minimal cost.  TDAmeritrade and Scottrade and TradeKing are among those with fees ranging from $6.00 to 10.00 per trade.  Then there are the ones that offer somewhat greater services for somewhat higher costs.  Schawb and Fidelity and ETrade fall into that category.  They offer more research material and somewhat better customer service in general for a somewhat higher commission in general.  Fidelity for example has about a $25.00 commision per trade for small accounts but offers a wealth of research material.

If new at this try going to your bank see who they would recommend as a financial planner so that your investments have a chance of paying off. If you do not know much about Stocks or mutual funds I highly recommend you going to someone who does. Most times Investment professionals do not charge for a consult they make there money in commissions.

Generaly it's 10% of the profit (from a business standpoint). However there is no set standard for referral fee amount. It completely is dependant upon the industry/item being sold. Check out the following links as an example:

I'd start with 5% on top of the seller fees.\n\ncheck out the link below for more info...\n\nhttp://www.entrepreneur.com/article/0,4621,316352,00.html

If you have some money and you buy several per month, use Interactive Brokers.  Their commission is $1 per trade.  If you don't do about 8 trades per month, though, you get hit with low activity fees.  You could buy several in one month and then transfer the stocks to a discount brokerage that doesn't charge inactivity fees.\n\nIf you don't have much money, some companies will sell to individuals, but watch out for fees.  Check the investor relations tabs on their Web sites. \n\nA last resort is sharebuilder.com.  They won't buy even shares and it's expensive to sell, but it's cheap to buy there.

depends on how active a trader you will be. if you are just buying and holding without keeping a large cash balance then Scottrade is a good choice. Low Commissions.\n\nFidelity.com has very good rates for active traders and has great mutual funds and high paying money market funds for idle cash balances.\n\nSchwab.com commissions are slightly higher, but if you are a very active trader they will compete with other brokers to get your commission rates down.\n\nBrown & Co is now part of Etrade, since I don't care for Etrades service or market making I cannot recommend them at all. Brown is only $5.00 per trade.\n\nAmeritrade... I know many people who use them. It seems as if the website for trading is down to often for me. Schwabs Streetsmart Pro is rarely out of service.

That's correct, the broker makes his/her commission on the spread or bid/ask

Something like Yahoo Finance will have the general price.  If you're looking for more real-time quotes, if you get a demo account or a real account at most of the brokerage services, they will give you those quotes for free.  Often times, they only have the major crosses that are widely traded, though.

Have you heard of buySAFE? They will guarantee the sale for you. But I seem to recall that they take 1% of the transaction as their fee for the service.

Hello.  They're still in beta and are looking to charge commission when they move out of beta. They say 15%, so I guess it won't be free for ever and yes, there is a catch!  I guess they have to pay for their technology and people somehow.  Good luck with your business though!

It depends on the share class. There are A, B and C shares to almost every mutual fund. Each have a different fee structure.\n\nThis link below will help you...

$30.00...before State and Federal Income Taxes, Capital Gains Tax, Broker Fees, etc. If you sold the stock you bought for $500.00 for $530.00, you'd net about $5.00...!

there are two ways that may help you. scott trade which for the minimun amount to open charges just 7.00 a trade if your buying and selling. this way you get real time live trades and information with no brokers. there is also what is known by few as drips. you buy the stock right from the company itself. if you search drips in the net you will come up with a list of many companies selling their stock some require as little as 50 to 100.00 to open a direct stock account with them and that price includes as much stock as you can get depending on its price. you can put so much in each month if you want and you'll get the shares to that amount. each company is differant on how much you start with and how long you have to keep the stock before selling it. its usually 60 to 90 days with some. good hunting!

My company splits the commissions all evenly.  However many various agents/brokers are involved (or even think they are involved), it gets split further.  Keeps everyone happy.  No one complains that someone gets "more".
