I just got 2k from a rear end accident that I was involved in (other person rear ended me and I'm just going to take the money/not get it fixed since it is barely any damage). I have to put some towards bills but I really want to invest in Nintendo. Do you have to buy a certain amount of shares (1000+) or can you just purchase a few shares? And where the hell do I go to purchase these shares?

Get a broker... ( E-Trade, Fidelity, whatever..)

That is what I was thinking but didn't know which one is best.  I am mainly just looking for long term investing and not day trading.  So I guess I'll have to do a little research for what one is the cheapest for that type of investing.  I also don't want to pay for stock advice because I can make my own decisions and looking into companies.

Fidelity charges 7.95$ per trade which is kind of cheap and you have access to a lot of stuff for free...

E-trade charges 9.99$ per trade. 

I don't know about the others.

I am with Fidelity mainly because my 401k was managed by them so it made sense to use them....
