<prompt> Human: Hey folks, I was thinking of buying a few shares kind of as a hobby not much more the 25 or so. Is buying such a small amount a silly idea? If not could someone point me in a direction where I could just order the stock my self? I dont want financial advice fro the broker, just a button that says I want x number of these stocks.  <response>: You might find rinvesting better suited for this question. While I realize this is just for fun, rpersonalfinance really focuses on index fund investments only.
