The idea is nice and says that you are financial conscious but a stock can be a hit or miss.  I have stocks in my investment portfolio and I'm about to be done with it and transfer to other investments (the advantage of having a diversified investment plan).  It can be up one day and down the next, I think a savings bond is a better bet.

Many of the responses to your question seem to present the negative side of stock investment; however, I applaud you for considering a gift that is an investment rather than an object that will break, wear out, be eaten within a few days, or otherwise be obsolete or outgrown in a short time.  Just make sure the stock you are considering is in a solid company that should be around awhile.  One that pays a dividend also is a plus.  If you want to speculate later on more risky investments after getting some experience under your belt (and using discretionary money that you won't need to pay bills or buy groceries), then go for it.  Best of luck!

All I know is that you have to have money to make money.  You have to have money to play the stock market.  So I don't know much about it other than my dad lost a bundle of money a few years back when the stock market crashed.
Have a wonderful day!

If you want stocks, mutual funds, etc., it would be easier to just to ask for money and you buy them yourself.

I apologize if I came off negatively, I just wanted the poster to be aware of the reality of choosing stock as a form of investment.  :highfive:
