The first step in buying stocks is to open a brokerage account. 
The easiest way is through an online stockbroker like Robinhood, TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, or Fidelity. Each broker may have different requirements for opening an account, so make sure to review the account opening process before selecting one.

Opening an online brokerage account is as simple as opening a bank account: You fill out an account application, present identification, and decide whether to fund the account via check or via an electronic transfer of funds.

Another option is to use a full-service stockbroker, or to purchase stock directly from the company.
