How To Buy Stocks Directly From Companies

ShareBuilder.com is the Internet's premiere site for Direct Investment and Dividend Re-Investment Plans ("DRIPs"), with over 1600 plans listed.  By investing directly, you buy stocks directly from blue-chip companies, and cut out the brokers and their fees.  It's the perfect site for people with a "buy-and-hold" philosophy (such a philosophy isn't for everyone, but it does avoid burning a lot of money on broker fees.)  At this site, you can research stocks and enroll in direct stock-buying programs on the Web.

This site's 100,000 registered users get a lot for their money:

  • View "Plan Summary" pages, showing minimum and maximum investments, plan features and fees.

  • Buy fractions of shares, rather than a minimum purchase of 100 shares.

  • Automatically invest money from checking accounts, without having to place an order.

  • No account or investment minimums.

  • Dollar based investing: Pick the dollar amount you want to invest in every week or month in the 2,000 largest stocks and index funds on the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges.

  • Online everything: account statements, confirmations and notifications.

  • Low transaction fees: $4 per recurring transaction, or $12 for "All You Can Build".
