How to Buy Stock on TSX

Decide how you wish to access and control your stock investments. Large financial institutions and banks (e.g. the Royal Bank of Canada and TDAmeritrade) offer stock accounts linked to the individual's general savings account. The bank then manages the investments for the individual and returns the profit in a manner similar to interest or a money market. The contrasting option is opening an investment-only accounts. This generally gives the individual investor more control over buying and selling decisions and is typically the best choice for first-time investors in the TSX.
Create an account with your financial institution (for linked investment accounts) or investment-only account. For the former, contact your banks customer service department to learn how to link an investment account with your current savings account. If you are choosing to buy stocks through an investment-only account, choose an online stock broker. Online stock brokers offer flexibility and discounted rates to individual investors that larger stock broker firms do not. Examples include ING Canada and Questrade Canada. Links to these institutions are included in the Resources section of this article.
Setup a payment plan for your investment account. If it is linked to your savings account, the Canadian bank will simply withdraw funds from your savings. If you have an ING Canada account or similar plan, you will be required to link the investment account to a credit card or bank account.
Research the TSX stocks in which you wish to invest. The TSX is known for featuring a large array of oil- and energy-focused companies, but general consumer and automobile companies are also listed on the TSX. Consult a financial adviser or solicit recommendations from a fellow investor on which stocks historically perform well.
Invest in TSX stocks and track your progress. Like all stock markets, the value of the TSX can fluctuate widely within the perimeters of a single, 24-hour day. Be vigilant and understand the inner mechanisms of a stock market by reading guidebooks and taking financial seminars. The more educated you become, the better your TSX stocks will perform.

How to Buy Minimum/Small Amounts of Stock

Review your current checking, savings and other bank accounts. Compare this to outstanding debt that you owe and determine the amount of money that have readily available to invest in the stock market. This is an important first step because the amount you can invest will help determine where and what type of stock trading account you can open.
Research online stock trading accounts to determine which one will suit your own needs best. Pay attention to minimum opening deposits that they require and note trading fees and also if there are minimum per transaction requirements. For example, some online trading firms require a minimum amount to open an account, while others do not. There is also a wide range in terms of what each firm charges per transaction or trade. Make a note of all of the options and decide which one suits your needs best.
Open an online trading account. Online trading accounts have much lower fees in comparison to using a traditional stockbroker, which is more in line with small and minimal stock purchases. As of July 2010, online trading accounts had fees for buying and selling stock as low as $4 per transaction. Some online trading accounts offer the first trades free which is also a good incentive for an investor only looking to buy a minimal amount of stock.
Treat your small stock investment account the same as you would any other investment. Review your account balances at least once per month to make sure that the money you have spent on stocks is providing you with a return on your money that you are comfortable with.
Continue to buy and sell stock in small amounts and fund your account with additional money when you are able to. Even those buying small amounts of stock occasionally can build a nice-sized portfolio over time.

How to Remove a Mossberg 500 Stock (4 Steps)

Check that the shotgun is unloaded by placing the safety and the 'on' position, pressing in the slide release (located next to the trigger housing), and opening the action by pulling back on the fore-grip.
Use a standard size Philips head screwdriver to remove the screws holding the butt-plate (the rubber pad on the end of the stock) in position and remove the butt-plate.
Look down the exposed hole on the rear of the stock and determine the bolt head configuration (some Mossberg models have a slotted head and some utilize a 1/2-inch hex head).
Use your standard screwdriver or your Allen wrench (depending on which configuration you found) and remove the bolt by rotating it counter-clockwise. The stock will now come off the receiver.
