This is the first year I have ever bought stocks in the NYSE.  

Excuuuuuuuse my ignorance; but where do I deduct my stockbroker
expense?  

My guess is that if I itemize on my 1040, this is the
place where I would deduct.  But what if I don't itemize?

Or do I deduct the purchase and selling stockbroker expense
at the time that I sell a stock?

I would ask my stock broker, but "my stock broker is C. Schwab.
And C. Schwab says 'we don't give advice'".

Thanks
