Buying Carnival Cruise stock without a broker involves purchasing shares of the company directly through a transfer agent or an online stock trading platform that offers direct stock purchase plans (DSPPs).
DSPPs allow investors to buy stocks directly from the company, eliminating the need for a broker. This can save on brokerage fees and provide more control over the investment process. However, it's important to note that DSPPs may have minimum investment requirements and may not offer all the features and services provided by a broker.
