3. Search for the stock you're interested in. Find the stock by name or ticker symbol, like AMG or AMP. Research its history to confirm it's a solid investment against your financial goals.

To spread out your purchase, look into dollar-cost averaging, which smooths out buying at consistent intervals and amounts.
5. Decide on how many to buy. Weigh your budget against a diversified portfolio that can minimize risk through the market's ups and downs. You may be able to buy fractional shares, depending on your broker.
