"Have you decided that the best thing for you to do is to buy stock directly from the company that you've decided in which to make an investment? Today we're here to talk about direct stock purchase plans, that is when you elect to buy directly from a company stock in their business as opposed to going through a stock brokerage firm to acquire the stock. The question is, where can you get a list of companies that have direct stock purchase plans? Well, because the business is so heavily regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States government, the easiest thing to do is to go online at Google, or your favorite search engine and type in 'Direct Stock Purchase Plan.' Once you've done that, a list of websites will come up that show you companies that have direct stock purchase plans. From there, once you've looked at that list, I would suggest actually phoning the company directly to verify that that information's correct and to be sure that the details that they give to you on the websites are correct. After all, you really want to know what you're buying and not make a mistake. I'm Roger Groh at Groh Asset, and I thank you very much for spending time with me today."
