Is it possible to buy one stock? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sly · 06-07-2012, 09:22 AM

Friends of mine are getting married and we have an ongoing joke about a particular department store. They would get quite a laugh if I could get them something specific to that department store, I was thinking a stock certificate (one of them is into stocks.)

Is this possible?

I know i think i had that question before for a stock broker and you can't do it , you could get like a mutual fund , and see if you could get all stock from one source but I don't know im just a fucking shoebox.

Yes you can buy just one stock, and last I heard it was still possible to request the physical paper for the stock as well, even from an online brokerage but it takes time.

If you're smart enough to buy 1 share in a company, you're smart enough to pay $39 for a piece of paper.

Its an interesting 'gag' gift that I think is great for kids - They will be logging on to Google Finance every day to see what their McDonald's share is worth.....

Fantastic educational tool, better than a dozen math(s) classes....

If you want to give the gift that keeps on giving, buy them 1 share of Apple. Get multiple friends in on it if you have to cuz it's pretty expensive.

grumpy · 06-07-2012, 12:17 PM

Your friends could be the proud owner of a rare collectible.
(for only a grand or so) available at my Playboy Collectors Store

Never Issued Specimen from circa 1970's. This Playboy Enterprises, Inc Specimen Stock Certificate is extremely rare. A specimen stock certificate is like a first draft or an artist proof. Only a few of these were made.

Shop around for bargains. When my son was born people gave us cash gifts. I took the cash and bought a couple of stocks, but usually 10 or so shares. One was a electric company in the toilet as they had to write off a nuke plant they were building stock went from $30 to $6 and stopped the dividend. His $60 investment is now worth about $2000 plus he gets about $150 a year in dividends.

Scottrade charges $7 per trade, whether it's one share or 10,000. If you're in the US you should probably have a brokerage account anyway - we all know it's mathematically impossible for social security to last but a few more years.

My dad got me a HD share through http://www.giveashare.com/ it's kinda neat but not really
