I'm Pretty Excited about Sharebuilder

This is a great way to set your kids up with a brokerage account. No mins to open, and reasonable fees if you're low volume/low balance. Both of my children have one.

I set my kids up with a couple of high income closed end funds that pay a dividend. Sharebuilder can be set to reinvest this dividend in the stock, so it keeps growing.

Start them out today, and use it as a teaching occasion about money, investing, etc. You'll both have fun with it and be glad you did it.
