Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Determine the amount of money you can spend on the total stock purchase. This total amount will dictate just how many shares of Visa stock you can buy. For instance, if a stock costs $8 per share and you have $800, then you can buy 100 shares of Visa stock.
2. Decide how you are going to purchase the Visa stock. You can choose a financial planner to buy the stock but they usually charge a percentage or management fee and usually require a minimum deposit to manage you trades. Using a stockbroker is another option but they also will charge either a flat fee or percentage of the stock trade for a fee. Both these options are more expensive than establishing an account with an online financial services company. Understand that you are on your own when invest through financial services companies.
3. Establish the price you wish to pay per share of Visa stock. There are many ways to figure this price. You can use the price to earnings ratio, earnings growth, revenue, cash flow, or the dividend yield. No matter which method you chose be sure that the reasons are fiscally sound. See the resource section for more information.
4. Place a limit order to purchase the Visa stock. Once you establish the target price for the Visa stock, then place a limit order for that price along with the number of shares you can afford. You should always place a limit order.
5. Wait for your limit order to execute. If the stock does not reach your established price, you may need to raise your target price in order to buy the Visa stock.
