Can I buy stock on a regular basis?

Yes! ShareBuilder emphasizes the accumulation of stocks over time, rather than frequent trading. With a ShareBuilder Plan, individuals can make regular weekly or monthly dollar-based investments according to their budgetary needs. This investment plan can be edited at any time.

How do I pay for the stocks that I buy online?

A ShareBuilder Plan can be funded with regular deposits by automatic transfer from checking or savings, payroll deduction, check or money order, or by wiring funds. ShareBuilder Securities Corporation then makes dollar-based investments (e.g. $100 worth of XYZ Corporation, not 100 shares) per the online instructions in the investor's ShareBuilder Plan.

Where will my shares be held? Will I receive a certificate?

As a customer of ShareBuilder Securities Corporation, your shares will be held in your account and you will not receive a stock certificate unless you specifically request one.

Will I receive a dividend check from ShareBuilder? Can my dividends be reinvested?

If the company pays a dividend, all dividends will be paid in cash directly into your ShareBuilder account. You can choose to have ShareBuilder reinvest your dividends into additional shares of stock for no additional cost. Please note that not all companies pay dividends.
