How do I sell stocks? I have the certificates, and only a small amount.?


Question:
I have about only 15 shares of AIG stock, and was told I need to go to a broker (Schwab, TD Ameritrade, etc.). Can I just walk in and sell them? I'm sure there is a fee, but would i have to open an account, etc.? All I want to do is just sell them...nothing more.

Answer:
There might be a small fee...ScotTrade (http://www.scottrade.com ) has lower commissions than others like Schwab.

If they are old stocks they may have more value then you think. This site buys old certificates for collectors. You might want to start there.
TD Ameritrade does not buy shares.

They just find you someone that needs15 shares of AIG.

We now find buyers and sellers in a second over the Internet.

You really need to open a brokerage account.

You could also send them to TD Ameritrade (To one of my accounts) and as soon as I sell them I can email you the cash by Paypal.

FREE of charge, of course.
