How can I buy just one stock

[Anonymous]

A friend is having an IPO tomorrow. Despite giving my husband a week’s notice, he has failed to move money into the account and says he’ll be “tied up in meetings, but he’ll try” to buy some of the stock.

I think it’s a good investment, and I just want to do this myself. Can I buy just one type of stock via eTrade or something?

Open an account somewhere - Etrade or Schwab or somewhere, transfer money in from your banking account, buy 1 stock.

If you already have a Fidelity or Vanguard account for an IRA, you can open a taxable brokerage account to lessen the number of accounts you have.

I just bought one stock of Roblox for my son using my Schwab account.

Open a Vanguard account

I opened an Ameritrade account, and can buy practically any individual stock I want.

Careful, some places have account minimums to participate in the pre-offering of the IPO.

So you might miss out on the initial big gains on the first day

I use Fidelity b/c it's through work and has our 401k already. You can do your own trades online for free.

You already have an E*trade account, so go through that. You can set it up tonight or tomorrow.
