Best Answer

You buy them through either a broker or a broker-dealer.

A stock dealer is like a dealer in any other product: it maintains an inventory of the product and sells it to customers.

A stockbroker arranges transactions between people who have stock they would like to sell, and people who wish to buy it. This is the person you actually buy stock from.

It is possible to own a brokerage that isn't a registered dealer, or a dealer that isn't a registered brokerage, but that's not how it's done anymore--the two functions are almost always combined into a "broker/dealer" company.
