I'm trying to figure that out. I'll have to get in touch with a broker, but there are websites like E-Trade that'll handle it for you. I don't have enough money to have fun with it on that level.
By the way, a lot of people are jumping into the solar panel business and renewable energy whosiewhatsits. Like Flagg said, the stuff's not there yet, and while I have no doubt that this will be what the world turns to for most of the electricity, there's a ton of start-ups happening and I think it'd be hard to tell which to invest in.
Stocks have nothing to do with whether or not an idea is good; only that it sells and sells a lot. Stocks deal in perception of goodness and popularity.
