1) Open a brokerage account at ameritrade.com\n2) No\n3) Yes (But that makes no sense because you need to pay $10.99 to buy it and another $10.99 when you sell it)

Just think this through for a minute.... say you get listed on the pink sheets.  How is anyone going to trade shares?  Naturally, they have to own them.  Which means you, or your company, have to sell them the shares in the first place.  And to do that, you have to register the shares with SEC -- regardless of whether they're traded on the pink sheets, OTCBB, Nasdaq or NYSE -- unless a registration from exemption applies.  But if you're planning on pink sheets trading, even if you can find an exemption it won't help b/c the securities you sell in an exempt offering would be restricted, i.e., the purchaser can't just turn around and sell them, they have to hold onto them (typically for a year).\n\nSo no, you can't avoid the hassle, you need to file a registration statement with SEC and, possibly, with the state securities regulator for every state in which you offer the shares.  Talk to a securities attorney.

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.

legally you have to be 18. But you could buy stocks at any age as long as it is on the internet and an adult must be a custodian of that account.

Hi Alra,\n  I am assuming that you are here in the USA. If so I would highly recommend DRIPS, Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRPs), if only because of the small amount of cash you have available, you cannot afford to be paying ANY commissions, they will eat through your $200 like a hot knife through butter at room temperature. With DRPS you are buying the stocks directly from the company itself without paying those commissions. I would also suggest that you add a set amount of dollars every month to your holdings. Only pick stocks that you have checked out and believe in, especially those that make products you buy and use and like. Look at this for the long term, gradually your account should increase in value. Then you are able to take some of those profits and trade riskier stocks through a regular trading account. \nGood luck and don't forget to watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money on CNBC    BOOYA

Of course, your question depends which country you are in.  I'll assume U.S., but if it is somewhere else, the answer will be different.  In the U.S. you can always buy shares of some of the larger stocks if they have ADR's issued.  I've provided a link for the BNY ADR list.\n\nBut to trade any stocks, whether U.S. or foreign, you want an account with a broker, such as Ameritrade or Scottrade, not with a bank normally.  A lot of banks do have some ability to offer brokerage services, but they're usually not the best resources for that.

Yahoo Answers is not an ideal forum for your question as trading in Financial Instruments as mentioned in your query is restricted to a very few Genuine Private players in the market who are at the very top of the Pyramid in this particular field; based out of Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai and they prefer not to  advertise.

the best way to buy shares of your favorite stock is go directly through the company. The only catch is that some companies do not offer this option because an investment banking house such as Morgan Stanley, may make a market or sell the stock on the open market, for the company. Another way to say it is that the company you may want to buy shares in may not handle their own stock. Look on the company website under investor relations for an answer to that. If they dont offer stock, then find a low cost, internet based stock trading company such as ameritrade etc. But, buyer beware, just cause you know the company, doesnt mean you know the stock. Trust me!

Its going to be very difficult these days.\nThe best way around the system is to open a trading account with an online stock broker, its just like a bank a/c, you can deposit/transfer and they even give you a ATM/debit card, and don't have to buy any stock or trade, nor go through the hassles of opening a bank a/c due to Patriot Act.\ncheck out www.etrade.com or similar co.\nGood Luck

You can can buy shares in a listed company thru a online stockbroker. If the company makes a profit it will pay you a dividend ( like interest ). If the shares increase or decrease in value you will make a profit or loss.Buying shares can be a gamble unless you conduct research into the company, this is where a stockbroker can advise you.

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.
