How to Buy Stocks

When looking to buy stocks, there are a few different options that the average trader has: there is the route of buying stocks directly from the company, but one could incur major fees and commissions for having them facilitate your trade. This is the old way of stock trading and harkens back to the days when someone would place a phone call to execute a trade.

Also, some of the costs associated with traditional stock trading can be extreme, especially considering how many stock options are available today as well as the high cost of some popular global shares.

Beyond the traditional option, there is online stock trading using Electronic Communications Networks that provide direct access primarily to secondary market participants – though access to primary markets is not unheard of. Some ECN hosts offer reduced costs, but in many cases, the investor is required to pay a range of fees and commissions for their trading activities.

While the minimum trading requirement is reduced at some online companies, the fee schedule is excessive, putting a strain on the investor’s profit/ loss ratio. Apart from that, some online companies only offer access to certain markets. This could leave you somewhat limited in your trading choices.

To top it off, many online companies have started offering ‘pink sheet’ stocks, which are over the counter stocks that are unreliable and volatile. In many cases, information regarding the companies may be difficult to find due to the poor reporting of financial statements. This is also the market used for the sale and purchase of penny stocks, also often referred to as ‘cheap stocks’. These sell for very small sums of money; and while the low price can result in huge profits, penny stocks are considered very high risk. To put it into perspective, some penny stock companies have no assets and provide no services or goods. There has been more than one-penny stock that has led to financial ruin for investors.

If you are tech-savvy, you might have come across a wide range of investment apps. While these apps are convenient and bring stock trading right into the palms of your hands, some of these apps only offer limited investment opportunities and are limited in their overall evaluation of your financial situation. Before one invests, it is always wise to evaluate a number of factors, including your tax situation, debts and other investments. This is where a regulated online company takes centre stage.

Stock trading has several pros and cons. On the one hand, you can earn dividends and store wealth in a widely recognised financial instrument. On the other hand, you have other issues, such as panic selling during bear markets, the major difficulty associated with short-selling, and of course, the rather high volatility that stocks can have.

AvaTrade offers primarily stock derivatives trading – investing through a broker in contracts whose value is derived from that of underlying assets – shares, for example. Here, while you do not take actual ownership of the underlying shares of the company, you get to enjoy the most important thing that short-term and swing traders look for: the ability to pinpoint potentially lucrative trading opportunities in the market and to profit from them.

The ability to trade stocks in such an environment is one of the aspects of financial investing that many retail traders have come to love. By using this as a financial route to express your views of a company, you can do so with low margin, in both directions, and without the fees and complications that may arise.
