How to buy shares

Buying shares is quite easy once an account is opened for that purpose and it is known which shares to buy. Although the steps are simple, it is important to carry out a preliminary study of the stocks that you want to buy, especially to avoid short-term shocks caused by the volatility of the shares.

Steps to follow:

one

Learn everything you can about the operation of the stock market and actions in general. This way you can avoid shocks once the money has been invested.

two

Choose a broker or entity that will perform the transactions. Most banks have a service to perform this type of operation. If a bank does not perform the service, there are specialized platforms in this type of transactions.

3

Open the stock account (sometimes called "broker account") in the selected entity. In some cases it involves physically approaching the corresponding entity but in most cases it can be done online .

4

Ask what means the transactions can be made with. Normally, there are two ways; by telephone (in general, more expensive) or by Internet (from the computer or even with the mobile).

5

Make the transfer to the stock account. If it opens in the usual bank, the process is immediate. However, if the transfer is between banks it may take a few days.

6

Start buying stocks.

7

Conduct frequent evaluations of the purchased shares.
