Dollar-based investing / buy & sell partial shares of stock

Stocks you may have thought too expensive, are now within reach.

By investing in dollar amounts, you are not limited to whole share quantities, you can buy partial shares. Over time you can build up your position in that stock.

Example: P&G is trading at $98.24. You have $50 to invest. Rather than delaying your investment until you have enough money saved, you can invest the $50 and buy about a half of a share of P&G.
