How to Invest in Coca Cola Stocks
- 1). Find a local stockbroker or sign up for a stock trading company online. Set up an account with your name, contact information and your social security number. Place an order to buy Coca Cola stock.
- 2). Buy only one stock of Coca Cola using Oneshare.com or Sharebuilder.com. This is the alternative to setting up an account at a brokerage which may charge high fees (see Resources below).
- 3). Enroll in Compushare.com after you have purchased at least one stock of Coca Cola that is held in your name. With Compushare.com, you can buy more stocks the company and enroll in the dividend and cash investment plan (see Resources below).
- 4). Save money on transaction fees, brokerage fees and administration fees by using Compushare.com. Coca Cola carries the cost of most of those items for investors in the dividend and cash investment plan.
- 5). Plan on making future purchases before the first of the month, when Compushare makes its purchases. The dividends from Coca Cola are paid quarterly, and on the first of the month in April, July, October and December.
