Good afternoon,

I have a question for you. I own 21 shares of stock from my former employer. The stock is traded on NASDAQ. I don’t know how to sell it. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hello Dave,

If the stock is in certificate form, take it to a stock broker. If the stock is in a “street account” with a brokerage company, call a representative of the brokerage company. Helping sell publicly traded stock is their business.

Good luck!
