Investing at 16 years old?
whats the best form of investment that a 16 year old can do without the help of an adult?
can one legally trade in the stock market at this age? im not crazy about making money but its something that recently, has intregued me.
im in the uk by the way. i have premium bonds with the nation savings and investments, but would like to go further.
cheers Additional Details by this i mean, what do u suggest?
where to invest?
1. A CD is a form of investment account in the US. As you live in the UK it is irrelevent.
2. At age 16 you are not legally allowed to own shares in the UK. No if's, no but's.
If you are prepared to accept the help of an adult you could get them to open an account in their name and add you as the beneficiary. However the money would legally be theirs and you couldn't do anything if they decided not to give it back. Also, every time you wanted to buy or sell something they would have to agree. So not very satisfactory...
Sorry the answer is not more positive. For what it's worth I started investing just after I turned 20. It took me a year to 18 months to learn what I was doing and start to make sensible returns. My advice would be to start a fantasy portfolio and see how you do for a year.
