BUYING A STOCK
Once you have opened a brokerage account, you can start buying and selling stocks. To buy a stock, you will need to place an order through your brokerage account. You will need to specify the stock you want to buy, the number of shares you want to buy, and at what price you are willing to buy the stock. Your brokerage firm will then execute the trade for you, either by finding a seller at your specified price or by finding the best available price for the stock.
SELLING A STOCK
To sell a stock, you will need to place a sell order through your brokerage account in a similar way. You will need to specify the stock you want to sell, the number of shares you want to sell, and at what price you are willing to sell the stock. Again, your brokerage firm will execute the trade for you, either by finding a buyer at your specified price or by finding the best available price for the stock.
It's important to note that when you buy or sell stocks, you may have to pay fees to your brokerage firm. These fees can vary depending on the firm and the type of trade you are making. It's a good idea to compare the fees of different brokerage firms before you choose one to work with.
