Re: buying stocks without a broker
AAII publishes a list of companies that allow you to buy their stock without a broker. My only qualm about it is you are not using a real time market price for the stock. However, it would be a great idea for a very small investor who can buy fractional numbers of shares.
Note: there are some brokers that are awfully inexpensive for instance Interactive Brokers (IAB) has a $1 minimum which is very useful for small lots on lower priced shares and they allow you to acquire just about any stock internationally.
