Minimum Shares


MoeInvested said: "Is there a minimum number of shares that a company require you to buy? Could one buy as little as one, two or three shares in a company? Thanks."

BRK.A is over $100k per share. SEB ($2000) is another one. You might get a minumum if you try to buy directly from the company though. Most DRIP's have a minumum investment for a starter position."

I think its TDAmeritrade that you can't buy 10,000,000 because their software won't handle that many digits. But you can buy 9,999,999 shares. LOL :signs053:"
