How much does it cost for someone to do stocks for you?
If the investor uses an online broker, the price will be $2,000. If a full-service broker is used, there will be a fee of 2\% of the total trade value, with a minimum commission of $50. The total price of the shares alone is $20 * 100, or $2,000. The commission is $2,000 * 2\%, or $40.
Is there always someone willing to buy a stock?

Is it worth paying someone to invest?

How much does it cost to trade stocks for a living?

Do I have to pay taxes on money I earn from stocks?
Generally, any profit you make on the sale of a stock is taxable at either 0\%, 15\% or 20\% if you held the shares for more than a year or at your ordinary tax rate if you held the shares for less than a year. Also, any dividends you receive from a stock are usually taxable.
Can I legally invest other people’s money?
You cannot trade securities for others without becoming licensed as an investment professional.

Can managers pick stocks effectively?

Is it difficult to pick stocks to outperform the market?

What is the bid and ask price of a stock?
