Track the performance of the TSX stock over time. It is always a good idea to track the performance of any stock, ETF or mutual fund you plan to invest in. This will give you a chance to see how volatile the stock is and make sure it is really suitable for your portfolio. Over time, you may discover patterns in the price movement of the stock, and those patterns can help you determine the best time and price level for your purchase.

Open an account with a brokerage firm if you do not already have one. There are a number of online brokerage firms that cater to independent investors who are comfortable making their own buying decisions. Opening an account at one of these online discount brokers can reduce your costs per trade.

Deposit funds in your brokerage account. Most brokers will require you to have the funds available before you trade, so make sure you have money on deposit before you plan to buy your TSX stock.

Log on to your online brokerage account, and go to the trading section of the website. Choose "Buy" from the list of options, and enter the ticker symbol for the stock. The ticker symbol for the TSX stock is actually XIU.MX, so be sure to enter the right symbol. Check the details of the proposed purchase and confirm them. Make sure you receive an email or written confirmation of your purchase, and keep that confirmation in a safe place. You will need this confirmation statement for tax purposes.
