Partial Shares
Posted on 17 March 2008 | Category: Investing
Here at InsiderBanking.com, we focus on how to get the most from your banking. However, particularly because we are on the inside, we understand that you can’t and really shouldn’t have all you eggs in one basket especially if that basket is a bank.
So where else can you put it. Well for one you could buy shares. Well maybe you know nothing about it, or don’t have that much money. Maybe you are not ready to put a significant part of your assets into shares, or don’t have enough to spread around several companies for diversification or you just want to drop the interest from your bank account into the market. You are often faced with having to put all of your money in one company, more money into shares than you would feel comfortable or worst of all have to stand on the sidelines and not join in with the opprtunities that exist.
For you there is a solution and we love it. Its called Sharebuilder (part of the ING group). This unique service allows you buy fractions or partial shares. So if you want to buy some Google or Berkshire Hathaway shares but only have $20 available every other month you would expect to be kind of stuck. Not anymore, go to Sharebuilder open a free account and play around with small amount even if you want to buy into a company you can do it a little each month which is better than nothing at all.
