Pepinos asked:
I’m not interested in active trading. I just want to buy a small number of stocks (say 1000$ worth) of an american company as a long-term investment. How do I do that? I have never invested in anything more complicated than a bank account before.

Please be very specific:
– Can I do that from europe? Do I use a european bank or a branch of an american bank (citibank, ABN-AMRO?)?
– Where do I need to go? Bank? Special company? Online?
– How much will I have to pay in fees (rough estimate of any expenses other than stock value) for this one-time transaction?
Thanks a lot!
