The first method to work with broker now known as „old-fashioned,“ is to pick up the telephone· and call your full-service broker. In this world of high-speed Internet connections, it's the most inefficient and costly way, but if you're comfortable with your broker and want to continue this way, by all means do so. Just be aware that you pay the highest commission rate of all order-entry methods, and those commissions shave a hefty chunk off of your profits.
