[quote=Anonymous]No club to point you to, we just do it ourselves.  My husband, who is way more interested in this stuff than I am, has been sitting down with our son, who is now almost 7yo, for the past 2 years and has opened an account for him to trade with.  It's not a formal thing, they just sit down together every few months to review progress and pick investments together.

To be honest, I really didn't think DS was getting much from this because he is so young.  But recently, when he & his friend were in the backseat of the car, I overheard a strange conversation:

DS: Well, I've got, like $1000.
Friend: No you don't.  Where did you get it?
DS: I invest it.  You know, like stocks..
Friend: What's that?
DS: It's when you buy a little piece of a company and then, when people buy something that the company makes, I get a little bit of that money...

My jaw dropped.  It was so odd and funny to hear.

That said, DS has become a hoarder when it comes to money.  He only wants to invest and will not spend it on anything, either for himself, or to charity.  So, we're rethinking things right now...[/quote]
