https://www.computershare.com You buy shares direct and they are not part of some brokerage holding, they are in your name. Signing up takes a week or two, though.
Another option, if you are in a typical corporate house, like Fidelity: make your purchase and then call them and have them transfer to Computershare. Having shares in CS is like being that dragon in the Hobbit curled up on his golden hoard.
The best option is DSR through ComputerShare.com That's basically like having paper stock certificates that are removed from the DTC and can't be loaned out or borrowed against like shares "owned" through a broker.
For brokers I like Fidelity. You can purchase on Fidelity and transfer to Computershare with no fees.
Also consider putting some of your shares in a ROTH IRA (Fidelity offers this) so you won't pay 40% short term capitol gains taxes on anything and you can pull it out when you're 59.5. You can buy, sell, trade in that account tax free.
What would you recommend over Robinhood fren?
