disney stock

[Deesknee]

Hello everyone my husband and I just purchased for the first time recently. We are sooooo excited.
Before we purchased I was on (I believe it was this board) asking all sorts of questions. THANKS to everyone who was so patient with me.

Moving on, my question is how would I go about getting a share of Disney stock. I would love to surprise DH with it for his bday next month. I was just on "mousesavers" and they had a piece on it but didn't say how to go about getting outside of going to a local broker. Does anyone know of this. It also stated you can purchase it framed. Any answers on how?
ThanksTHANKS

I think that what you are looking for is One Share . They allow you to buy one share of stock, and offer frames. HTH!

Go to www.oneshare.com

The fee to buy it is a little high IMO,but still worth it. I got one for my wife and its pretty cool to have it framed on the wall.
Also dont buy one of there frames. Too much $$$

There is a $39 fee for purchasing stock through this service. It will be cheaper purchasing it through a brokerage account.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. I'M SO BAD AT THIS COMPUTER COMMUNICATION STUFF I WASN'T SURE I EVEN DID IT RIGHT.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SURPRISE DH. HE HAS ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO OWN A SHARE. THIS WILL BE THE NEXT BEST THING TO BEING AT SSR (FOR NOW).

WE ARE BANKING OUR POINTS IN ORDER TO TAKE MY BROTHER AND HIS FAMILY THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
I JUST HOPE I DON'T BURST BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.

Not necessarily. These days, you cannot have your broker issue you the paper without paying a fee. That fee varies upon the broker and is generally in the $20 to $40 range. This is on top of whatever commissions you have to pay to buy one share - maybe another $10 to $30.

Well, the one share is nice to have, how about a larger chunk for your retirement account, given the percentage of your entertainment/ recreation dollar ends up with the Disney Company; you know, the Peter Lynch method, buy companies whose stuff you buy. Hold the shares long term and vote the proxies every year

Congratulations and Welcome Home

And welcome to our little community on the DIS!

As to the stock, this is a very pricey way to buy Disney stock and expensive for the company. It matters little where you buy it or where you have it matted and framed -- you will pay a premium for the service, the share of stock and the presentation. I believe mousesavers has a coupon for a discount at one share. Here is the link:
