I Want To Buy Some Individual Stocks For My Children--maybe 3-5 Companies Each, And Hold Them As A Long-term Investment (minimum Of 10 Years). I Doubt I Will Do Much Trading Since The Stocks I Am Looking At Are Blue Chips And I Want To See How They Perform Over The Years. I Don't Want To Touch Them Until We Cash Them In For College Funding, Or Let My Kids Hold Them And Use The Money As They Please When They Are Adults. That Being Said, Where Is The Best Place To Buy Stocks With Low Fees, Knowing That I Am Not Going To Do Much In The Way Of Trading? Can I Go Directly To A Company To Buy Their Stock? Thanks!

It's great to hear that you want to invest for your kids. Just remember that if you need to apply for financial aid it will hurt your chances if your children have any assets in there name. You may want to speak with a broker as to setting up an account in your name and or someone elses name. Shop around and you'll find a broker with low fees and costs.

This is or was 2007 AD...before too many fortnights, we all including the kids, will be into the next year, of course for those who are counting along at home, will be 2008! 2008 is the future & it most assuredly wouldn't be even a little like or similar to the last year.
Storm clouds are dominating the horizon, so in regard to the kid's future pocket change...be diversified and be sure they could have something tangible to barter in the street with for scraps of food and good water. It ain't going to be so nice in twenty years of Global warming and PreEmptive Air Raids.
