I am very new to trading stock. I have never done so and honestly have no idea what I am doing. After doing some research, I figured Disney would be a good, safe starting point. However, I found out that you can buy directly from Disney through the Walt Disney Company Investment Plan (http://corporate.disney.go.com/investors/faq_investmentplan.html). After reading it and re-reading it, I still can’t figure out how it works and which is the better way to go, buying directly through Disney or through an online broker (I was looking at Sharebuilder since I have an ING account). Can anyone explain how it works in layman’s terms? Thanks!

One Comment on “Disney Investment Plan vs. Buying Stock through Online Broker?”
Robert M 14th March 2010
Look to the future, you’re not going to own just one company. Use a broker.
Spend some time reading at your local library to learn about investing; buy the best companies in each industrial sector.
DIS is in the Consumer Discretionary sector, I would prefer McDonald’s (MCD), and Family Dollar (FDO). Dividends and their growth matter a lot, read up!
