Next Step Navigator

If you decide to research buying this share yourself, here is how the process works.

  1. 1

    Choose the right account

    Compare taxable brokerage accounts with workplace 401(k) and traditional or Roth IRA options. Check eligibility, investment availability and withdrawal rules; no account makes every investment tax-free.

  2. 2

    Pick a platform that fits you

    Choose a platform that offers offshore (foreign-currency) trading, and compare its fees and foreign-exchange costs before you commit.

  3. 3

    Search for the exact ticker

    Type this into your platform's search bar, then check the name matches before buying:

    JNJ
  4. 4

    Start small and stay consistent

    Buy an amount you will not need for years, ideally on a regular schedule. Long-term investing beats reacting to daily headlines.
