Can i invest in the stock market even though i am under 18?


I have been trying to research whether or not i could invest in the stock market even though i am 17. All i have been able to find is that i can make a custodial investment account but i still have the problem of finding an online broker that i can make an account with? Any suggestion?

Your parents can set up a CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT so that you can start trading under your name. Your parents are the ones supposed to buy and sell stocks, but since the orders will be placed online, no one will never know. =X

Custodial accounts are offered by most brokers, but i personally reccomend Tradeking.com because of the low comission fees.

Parents are usually glad to see their kids interested in taking control of their future, (in your case, investing in the stock market) so you should have no problem in asking their permission for this account.

If you are going to start investing in the stock market I suggess this site it will give you a lot of information on how to trade and make money.

I think it is not possible for you to invest in stock market.


Thanks
