How do all of these 10 year olds trade stocks?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
I have heard several stories about young children trading shares. However, how is this possible? The legal age to trade stocks is 18. Do they have custodial accounts?

If you've "heard" of "several", surely you could provide us with a link or reference. At least one out of a hoard of "all these 10 year olds."

I "heard" that the moon is made of cheese, but doesn't make it so.

They are beginning to teach finance in high school now, so we're getting inundated with children's questions every day here, but trading at age 10 is probably an isolated incident. Get your facts straight, try not to exaggerate, then ask a pertinent question. Truth is very precise, accurate, and factual, like trading.

don't believe it, I started when I was eleven and there weren't too many of us around at the time. But we all have custodian accounts and the custodians entered the trades for us.

Don't believe everything you hear.

They use a time machine
