I want to buy 1 share of Google. Can I do this? How much would it cost?I'm curious as to whether or not I can buy 1 share of Google. I don't want to buy a lot, just 1 share. Does anyone know if this is possible? How much would it cost?

Yes, you can certainly buy just one share of Google (or any other stock, for that matter).

While the price of a single share may seem high at first glance - currently around $1,200 per share - keep in mind that you can buy fractional shares of most stocks. This means that you can buy, say, 0.25 shares of Google for $300.

If you're interested in buying Google stock, you can do so through a broker like Vanguard, Fidelity, or Charles Schwab.

Yes, you can buy a single share of Google stock. With most brokerages, such as this one, you can buy a single share or any other number.

Here's how you can go about doing it:

Select an online broker. Most brokers offer a platform to allow you to buy and sell stocks online. Make sure you do your research to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
Fund your brokerage account. You'll usually need to make a deposit before you can buy any stock.
Research the stock you want to buy. It's important to make sure you fully understand the company and what its stock may bring in terms of reward and risk.
Buy the stock. Once you're ready, you can use your broker's platform to place your order. You will also have to specify the number of shares you want to buy—even if that's just a single share.
Monitor your stock. Now that you have the stock, it's important to keep an eye on it. Do your own research, read market news, watch stock prices, and generally pay attention to the company you invested in.

Good luck!
