List of Stocks You Can Buy For Your Kids

Here is a comprehensive list of investment stocks for children that represent a majority of products and services that cater to them. The list covers many different industries, such as entertainment, fashion, computers, restaurants, toys, electronics, cell phones and more. Please note that the list is for informational purposes only and does not represent any investment opinion. It is merely an alphabetical list of publicly-traded companies that are currently available for purchase as of October 2010. The stock symbol is also provided for easy reference. I would also point out that investments in common stocks such as these, are not federally or FDIC-insured, are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by any financial institution, and involve investment risks including possible loss of principal and fluctuation in value. Most investments fall under the protection of SIPC, which stands for Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Please do your own research into the stability of the company and seek the opinion of an investment advisor before you invest or spend any money. From Piggybank to Portfolio Start by encouraging your toddler to save their pennies and coins in a piggybank. As they get older into their tweens, a gift of stock might be a unique idea. This will teach them how important saving and investing can lead to a financially rewarding future as the stock grows in value. Of course, more shares of stock can easily be given as gifts over time from family & friends. This will help build your child's portfolio and jumpstart their college savings, or even put them on the right track to their future retirement plan.
