<prompt> Human: Hi all,From Australia.Im currently half way though The Intelligent Investor and have also been going through courses on Wall Street Survivor. Great source of information.However one thing which I cannot seem to grasp is this; I want to buy stocks so who do I give money to?!I have a budget of around 250 a month to invest in stocks and shares and am very keen to get into Index Funds due to their good rep. Vanguard is the only one who appears to be able to do this but everyone is also saying their fees are crazy.Could someone advise on who I pay to get some shares? Thanks!  <response>: You need to find a brokerage.Vanguard fees are extremely small. I dont know if they take Aussie customers, though.
