Stockpile

I’m sure you want your kid to grow up to be an investment banker who’s so savvy and successful with stocks and options and bonds that they buy you a yacht and you think, “Yes, definitely glad she didn’t turn out to be a surgeon.” Get your child started down this route with Stockpile. Really. You can do a lot of things on Stockpile, but its best feature is that you can gift a partial stock (zero trading fees). So, you don’t have to spend $1,252 + your soul to purchase a single, whole Disney stock. Instead, you can just buy $50 worth of Disney stock. “Hey, you own part of Thor!” It’s a good gift for little kids so their investments can grow; it’s a good gift for teenagers so they can learn about investments; and it’s a good gift for young adults because it’s money.
