I am interested in spending a (relatively) small amount of money on some stocks and shares from a few companies. In the region of $500-$2000 worth.
Can anyone suggest a good broker that deals in smaller amounts of capital like this, without charging too much commission?
The main company I am interested in purchasing shares in is GW Pharma (GWPH), I think they may do quite well in the next few years.

Is this a pump and dump?

Uh, do you mean am I trying to pump and dump stock of a company with a market cap of nearly £3bn on a bitcoin forum? No, no I'm not. I just think they're an interesting company that may do well in the future, considering the widespread acceptance of medical/recreational marijuana across America right now. So, do you know of any good brokers that allow small investments similar to the values I mentioned?

I don't know about brokers in the U.K., but buying $500-$2000 of stock at an online broker in the U.S. is relatively straightforward and cheap. Is this a pump and dump?
Uh, do you mean am I trying to pump and dump stock of a company with a market cap of nearly £3bn on a bitcoin forum? No, no I'm not. You have to admit that someone promoting the stock of a pharmaceutical company on a Bitcoin forum looks a lot like pump-and-dump.

Seems like an odd place to try and instigate a pump and dump... Anyway, to be clear, I am just looking for information on some reputable online brokers. Been in the bitcoin scene for years, but I don't have much of a clue about investing in stocks. Being currently based in the UK, can I use American or foreign brokers? Or do I have to deal with UK brokers?

Yes, you'll have to stick to British brokers. I doubt an American broker would accept a payment from overseas, even if it's in US$. Markets are heavily regulated with AML and KYC. You certainly could invest via a Swiss bank, but the minimal investment is way higher that the sum you plan to spend.

Yes, Swiss banks are a little out of my league at the moment!

Interesting, do you have any examples? And more to the point, are they reputable and won't run off with my bitcoins? EDIT: Noticed I am now Legendary! Whoopee! (not that it really means anything ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) )

I would recommend u to buy bitcoins now .as the price of bitcoins hits a little bit low ,then the price of bitcoins would increase up a lot .and u could sell it and earn a lot through that and dont forget to pay the taxes.
