How do I buy party stock?

Here's the thing. Brokerages need to know your experience level to protect themselves if disputes go to arbitration - won't let you open, say, a futures trading account with no experience because they could possibly be held liable if you suffered disastrous losses.

You should be able to find discount brokerages that will let you trade with minimal experience, but they probably won't allow you to trade options, use margin, etc.
