You can ask a "person of age" to open an account for you designated as 'that person FBO you' (FBO means "for the benefit of").  I applaud your interest in investing.  If you start putting as little as five or ten dollars a week in the market at 14, you can make some miserable mistakes and still be a millionaire at 40.  40 sounds old to you now, but that feeling won't last long, trust me!\n\nDo well, be rich! Good luck...

Okay, I don't know what all that was about...\nIf you mean buying shares of stocks, then you should open a "brokerage" account with someone like ScotTrade.\nEach share is a small piece of a company and the price is given in USD ($).\nYou buy pieces of the company and hope that the price will rise.  After some time, you can sell it into your account and keep the profit!  It is fun, too.

18 is old enough to buy stocks.  The symbol for Target is TGT.  You can use that symbol to check out the stock on Yahoo Finance.  Here is the link.\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=TGT\n\nAs you can see, it sells for about $57 a share.  There are several ways you can go about buying TGT.  One is to open an on line brokerage account.  Sharebuilder is very inexpensive for buying a small number of shares.  About $4.  You can very likely buy it through your bank.  Give them a call and ask them how much they would charge to buy the number of shares you would like.  \n\nThere are other on line brokers who are also very reasonable.  TDAmeritrade and Scottrade but they both require depositing a minimum amount of money in the account to begin buying stocks.  Your bank most likely will be more expensive but less of a hastle.

As far as I know, you can only buy stocks from a broker.  If you're a beginner investor and want to invest in stocks while lessening your risk, start out by investing in stock mutual funds.  Some of those you can buy direct from the mutual fund company.  Fidelity has a large array of funds you can choose from.

All views of investing1987 should be taken to a professionally for evaluation. investing1987 is not held labial for any action which you pursue. \n\n1. get a financial advisor\n2. if you are 18 or older you can get a scottrade account with a minimum of $500 account balance and buy and sell stocks. You can do far better than saving money in a bank. Even if you just hold for a while. You can also loose it all first read about the stock market before you consider investing and never buy on margin.\n3.if you get a 5% return in 1 year that is $500  but that is off of the full 10,000   you need to get a money market\n4.Talk to your parents about the financial worry\n5. save your money dont spend it on cars. Car are the number 1 waste!!!\n6.After you obtain a job then apply for a credit card with a limit of $500  and start with small purchases and build credit \n7. get student loans that you dont need to pay back until after college THEY ARE OUT THERE!!\n8. The federal goverment has grants which is money they give you that you dont need to pay back. Same with your state. Only thing is i beileve you need a job so keep your job until after you get the grants or switch jobs as long as your working.\n9. if you are not on the insurance with you family then you can apply for financial aid by yourself which would mean you would get more support.  You can still apply even if you are on your parents insurance but you may not get the same  :&#92;\n10.apply to scholarships even if they dont apply to you TRUST ME! if no one applys or your grades are better or you need the money more financial you can still potentially get it.\n11. apply to all amounts large or small think of it as free money.\n12.look for organizations that help with assistance they are different than scholarships they give you money on eathier a loan basisi or a grant style. THEY EXIST.\n13.use the internet for more scholarships THERE IS EVERY YEAR OVER 2 BILLION DOLLARS IN SCHOLARSHIPS THAT ARE NEVER AWARDED because no one applys\n\nI hope this help if you need more advice you can email me at investing1987@yahoo.com

Only one way to make your money go farther:  BORROW.\n\nOptions:  These are contracts that you buy which, if they meet a certain criteria, allow you to purchase shares at a set price at a set time.  For instance, a contract to buy 100 google shares at $225 on April 1st.  YOu might pay $70 for this contract (at least).\n\nOn April 1st, you have to buy the google shares.  If they are worth more than the $70 price in your contract, you gain 100 shares times the difference.  BUT>...  if they are worth less, you have lost the difference.\n\nI recommend you check out www.motleyfool.com or other investing sites.  When in doubt, check with a professional.\n\nAlso, online stock challenges are a good way to hone your skills and strategies without risk.  JUst write "stock challenge" into any search engine.  GOOD LUCK!

for eleven years old you cannot work to earn, like raking leaves pet sitting or cleaning for it will be illegal for a minor to work, all i can suggest is that you can make or buy pretty things and re sale to your classmate or friends,  and that is trading business. you can start to find sale pencil, accessories, stationary etc. then add then sell to regular price. but make sure to know the taste of your friends.......\n\nGood luck!

YOu have to be 18 to open a brokerage account. A parent or guardian can open a custodial account for you. I'm opening a custodial account for my 7 week old baby.

Open an Account on www.ameritrade.com\nNext you wire some money into that new account. This will usually take a couple of days. \nYou are charged per trade. A trade is approx. $12. You can buy as many shares as you like. Usually people buy in lots off 100.

There are ways to buy stock directly from a company, contact the company whose shares you want to own (att, Disney, etc).  When you are dealing with a stock broker you are giving a commssion for the ability of the broker to acquire the shares for you.  Online brokerages have the least commission because most all of the trades are handled by computers.

Open an online brokerage account with Ameritrade, Scottrade, Tradeking etc and buy shares for say 2000 USD. Sell it after you have gained atleast twice of commission (say 10*2) by looking at ur balances every day. It may go down initially butdon't lose heart on that. It eventually will go up (2min, 2days, 2 years...). Stock investing is basically finding a safe stock which doesnot give you a loss after your waiting period and investing in it. \nTo a beginner like you a safe stock could be EWD

there are stock clubs located all over the country that you can get involved with as a newcomer.  meetings are held on a regular schedule, the group pools money and everybody is given certain companies in different sectors to do research in,  the groups usally vote in what they invest in, and all members share inthe profit/loss of the trades.  other than that take a basic class, start with mutual funds, and keep a few dollars to have fun with and buy stock you have done more than listen to the gossip about
