How to Buy Chrysler Stock (5 Steps)


Establish an account with a stock brokerage company or an investment firm that has the ability to purchase American Depository Receipts (ADR), the American equivalent of foreign stocks. Deposit the required amount of funds into your account.
Determine the number of shares of Fiat stock you wish to purchase. Check the current price per share. Fiat stock trades on the Italian stock exchange of Fiat ADRs trade over-the-counter in the United States as Fiat SPA under the symbol FIATY.
Contact your investment broker and instruct him to enter a Buy order which may be At The Market or you may designate the price you wish to pay per share, which may be lower than the current market price.
Instruct your broker whether you wish to take possession of your stock certificates or if you wish to keep the stock in street name. Keeping the stock in street name provides more security in that you do not have to store your certificates and it makes it more convenient should you decide to sell your shares at a future date.
Continue to watch the major news outlets for breaking stories regarding Chrysler's emergence from bankruptcy. Eventually the U.S. Treasury will sell its stake in the company which may create an opportunity for individual investors to purchase shares. The company may also choose to become a public company again through an initial public offering, or Fiat may decide to spin the company off if it does not perform up to expectation, which may also present an opportunity for purchasing stock in Chrysler.

How to Buy Sprint Stock


Find a broker. These are companies like E*trade, Ameritrade, and others that allow you to buy and sell stock. There are two major types of brokers. Full service brokers provide many investor support services, such as research on companies and advice on stocks. Discount brokers charge less of a commission for trades, and some offer online research services, but will not have as many investor services as full service firms.
Decide how much money you want to invest in Sprint stock.
Find the current price of Sprint stock. The full company name is 'Sprint Nextel Corporation', and the stock symbol is: NYSE:S. Online brokers will have a search function on their websites, but you can also find stock prices without a broker through Google Finance or similar personal finance websites. (See Resource 1.)
Divide the amount of money you want to invest by the current price of Sprint stock to determine how many shares you should buy.
Place the order with your broker. Online brokers will have account management options that allow you to buy stock through their websites. Some online brokers will also have you register a bank account or debit card to cover payments for stock; payment will either be taken out automatically as you buy stock, or you will need to send a payment through their websites after purchasing. Other online brokers, such as Charles Schwab, allow you to deposit money into a brokerage account and use those funds to purchase stock.
