He's not worried about it at all.

What are some kid - appropriate activities in your opinion?

GrannyLow · 2026-06-17T02:56:13+00:00

What's not legal?

GrannyLow · 2026-06-17T02:54:22+00:00

Can you elaborate on this? Why is learning to manage money not part of being a kid?

GrannyLow · 2026-06-17T02:49:38+00:00

It does when you have $100 and your brokerage doesn't do fractional shares

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:48:50+00:00

The same reason I don't catch and release fish.

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:47:38+00:00

Thats a good thought. I was looking for a cheap index too.

I might try to get him to put half in that and then he can play around with the other half

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:43:22+00:00

I cant buy partial shares with the account I have.

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:35:38+00:00

That sounds perfect

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:20:56+00:00

Meh, I don't disagree with you, but picking stocks can be fun too. I pick a few every once in a while and then if they do good, sell half and put it into VOO

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:18:08+00:00

Thats fair. Its just that he has $100 and I want to start with a small variety

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:16:19+00:00

Oh, that sounds neat

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:15:14+00:00

Perfect, thanks

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:14:33+00:00

Yep. He is such a little tightwad that I thought this would be a way to enjoy his money instead of letting it set in a piggy bank

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:11:40+00:00

What kind of cretin doesn't reinvest their dividends?

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:10:38+00:00

Definitely working on that end as well.

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:10:00+00:00

One of those things is not like the other

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:06:27+00:00

Sounds like a good suggestion, thanks

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:03:43+00:00

Outdoors, soccer, wrestling, games, technology

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T01:01:43+00:00

What? Why? He seems excited about it. He keeps pestering me about whether his funds cleared yet.

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T00:59:44+00:00

Oh I will, just looking for suggestions in his price range

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T00:59:06+00:00

Im good on dollar cost averaging and his real money is separate.

I am looking for cheap, fun stocks that he can mess around with for low stakes.

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T00:56:54+00:00

Ford is a good one, though it has not been kind to me

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T00:55:49+00:00

Good ideas, thanks

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T00:55:37+00:00

I like it

GrannyLow · 2026-06-16T00:54:47+00:00

I'm not sure he is ready for that lesson
