How can i buy Citibank stocks online? thanks

I just finished watching Oprah and they were discussing stocks. I’m absolutely fascinated with learning how to profit from the stock market. However, I really have no clue what to do or where to start.
Can alot of money be made within a day or so or does it take months to make a profit? Say a stock rises $20 in one day and I have 20 shares. After seeing that could I just sell my stock? Who do I sell to?
I’d like to do this online and I have watched that money show with that crazy guy screaming and he gave the name of 4 stocks that are a good idea to invest in. I’d like to start with a safe company and then see how I do.
I know there’s a million questions and sites about this out there but I was hoping to get an answer from someone who actually trades stocks online.
Important: ONLY answer this question if you trade stocks online. Other answers will just be given thumbs down or reported for spamming.

To put it simple, i want to buy the stocks, own them, but have nothing tieing me to anyone else except the company i own the stocks from.
For example…..
Go to the store, buy them, bring them home, and they are mine from that point on??
no add ons, no fee’s or % just a one time deal and they are mine.
I need to know how to do that on lets say e-trade…..because when i get to the site, i don’t understand all the fee’s and contracts? per options??

I am interested in buying penny stock but i don’t know any online brokers that will let me.

I have shares in Pepsico, Exxon Mobil, Lockheed Martin, Toyota Motor Corp, and General Electric. I purchased all of these shares direct from the company using the sites mentioned above. Is it smart to buy stocks direct or should I use an online broker? Buying direct saves on fees, but I have noticed it can take up to 10 business days for these to post on my account. Would it help me in the long run to use a broker.
