Any insights on how to begin educating my grandchildren
(8-16 yrs) on stock
investing? Thoughts and tips on methods of how to set up
the purchases for
them. I invest through Scottrade.
1. Buy some stocks in your account - things they can relate to: Disney, McDonalds, WalMart, Pepsi (better than coke), JNJ (bandaids), MAT or HASBRO, APPL, NASCAR (ISCA, for the older boys), something for the girls (clothes, ???)

2. Open Scottrade CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS for each of them, in your name (their parents probably don't have time to deal with it). Must fund with $1,500 each.

3. Write a letter to Scottrade instructing them to transfer _____ shares of ___ from your account to theirs.

4. Build a yahoo account for each of them. Every 3 months there will be dividends; ask them where they want to put the money (or Christmas, birthday gifts etc).


Have you looked in to 529 accounts? (college savings - can be used for books, tuition, any legitimate college expense, by anyone in their family, any college in Indiana.) 20% of the $ paid in can be deducted directly from Indiana state tax each year. (Every time the market is down I put some in)

You can put up to $5,000 (total) in each year.

How fun that you should answer my request first.  Thank you for the tips.  I'm thinking of doing this for Christmas this year.
One grandson is really interested.
I purchased a vintage board game called "Stocks and Bonds".  Cramer talked about it on his show and said he played the game as a child and that helped him get interested in investing.
Looking forward to seeing you @ the lecture this afternoon.
Jim just left for his "Honor Flight" and my sister and I are working on stock stuff.

Take them to investment club meetings. A great first financial education
book was written by Jackie Koski, "Money Letters 2 my Daughter" available at
Amazon. Boys might say 'no way' but if they can get past the pink :) the
info contained is valuable to all, even adults. (BTW, I have no financial
interest recommending this book.)

Enroll one in BetterInvesting. Let them share the magazine and the now free
webinar classes.

Have them watch a TV episode of "The Profit." I learned more about how to grow a business there than anything I've ever read.
