How can I buy a stock easily without involving a broker?


Question:
There is a particular stock I want to invest in for the long haul. I have never purchased a stock other than through my 401K provider at work. My 401K does not offer the stock I'm interested in. Like any other American, I am actively looking for ways to avoid fees so I would rather not involve a broker or an account manager. Any suggestions?

Answer:
You may want to take a class on investing at a college.
Not one of those fly by night things.

Any ways you can buy stock directly from a company on a dividend reinvestment plan.
