I bought Heinz this year. There was a one-time fee of $5. Minimum first-time investment $255. The transfer agent also furnishes post-paid envelopes.

I can only tell you what would do. When I buy stocks I like to keep the commission below 1%. Since my broker charges $7/trade I never buy a block smaller than $1,000; I prefer to buy larger blocks to spread the commission thinner.

I've got my current shopping list of PG, MCD, JNJ, VFINX. However, with only the $5000 to use, is it better to spread out the $5000 evenly across 4 picks, or better to put 50% towards 2 picks, and keep an eye on the others Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2371295367923834063.post-90424293240531067432009-01-12T15:37:00.000-06:002009-01-12T15:37:00.000-06:00Thanks for the link for the full page and could th...Thanks for the link for the full page and could this one be done also<BR/>thank youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2371295367923834063.post-78902833070351554162008-12-17T12:43:00.000-06:002008-12-17T12:43:00.000-06:00Skyraider: I have Pre-Screened DOW in the past and...Skyraider: I have Pre-Screened DOW in the past and it never made it to a full valuation.
