Usually stock is obtained through a stock broker. Let's say you wish to own a piece of Toys R Us or Coca-Cola. You would call a stock broker and he would tell you how much a share in the company would be. He would then place an order for the stock for you. When the stock is purchased, the broker would keep a stock certificate that shows that you are the legal owner of the stock until you choose to sell it.
