I’m thinking about buying stock for my parents and so I wanted to know where are the best places to do so in Jacksonville. But I’m only twelve so tell me things I can relate to please and thank you for your positive feedback and cooperation.
Well, actually you don’t buy stocks in stores. There are companies called “brokerage firms” which are just like banks. They allow people to buy stocks, but you’d have to be at least 18 to buy a stock this way. You should call a brokerage firm such as Scottrade and ask them to tell you what your options are since you’re only 12…
Scottrade offices in Jacksonville:
76 S Laura St, STE 130
Jacksonville, FL 32202-3411
phone number: (904) 366-9288
3652 S 3rd St, STE 140
Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250-6092
phone number: (904) 247-4180
toll free number: 1-800-388-1999
If I were you, I would just give the money to my parents and ask them to buy stocks on this money. Your parents probably have a bank account or an account with a brokerage firm that allows them to purchase stocks. If not, they can go to a Scottrade office or online at http://www.scottrade.com to open an account. (They will need at least $500 to open an account.) If your parents have a Scottrade account, they can buy stocks online.
your bank should be able to do it for you.
Zecco.
