Stocks, Securities, Crypto

 So while there will be a process, there's an easy way to get set up and trade stocks, securities, and all of that. Crypto, too, on many places that do stocks in their phone applications. I use both Robinhood and Webull because I am allowed "fractional shares" meaning that instead of buying one $1000 share in Costco, I can purchase $5 and own like 0.002 shares of Costco. However, this "dust" gets swept up if the company does a reverse stock split (probably also a normal stock split) since you wouldn't have an actual single stock so, well, you usually just get the trading value for the stock when the corporate action is taken on the number of stocks.

I do have access to Morningstar reports on stocks via Robinhood Gold. I use both Robinhood and Webull for my trading of stocks.
