Hey I posted this in Personal Finance already but I didn't know if this would be a better place.
I am looking for a suggestion. I was, up until today, a Walmart associate with what seems like a pretty good stock matching program. I accrued about 13 shares in the company, big deal, I know. I mean, I'm a paycheck to paycheck kind of guy so it's a decent chunk of change for me. Anyways.
My question is how should I handle these shares now that my employment has ended? I think the account could potentially stay open but I don't know if that's safe or good for long term. Currently it's in an account I access through an app called Computershare and tbh I don't know what brokerage account holds my shares. There is an option in the app to transfer to another broker but I don't know what broker or account would be a good idea? I'm really really trying not to cash it out and looking for a way to keep it safe (from me mostly lol) and let it grow, if possible?
Anyways, all ideas are helpful. Thanks in advance!
