[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I help my DD buy a few stocks just learn from and learn how to do research on.

Thinking Disney at the moment.  Price seems low compared to prior years and it will pay a dividend starting in 2024.  P/E ratio is a bit high though at 68.

Any thoughts or ideas?[/quote]

Every analyst I look at is still very bearish on DIS, but learning that stocks go down is valuable too.  I would recommend buying fractional shares of equal dollar amounts for a kid.  Even if you were just investing $100, buy $10 of 10 stocks.  That way gains and losses are clear and easily comparable.

I would also buy the S&P500 or Total Market Index just to teach her the idea of benchmarking.
As for individual stocks that might be appealing to a kid that seem to have a chance of doing okay:

GOOG
BBW (Build a Bear)
COKE (Coca-cola) 
DPZ   (Domino's Pizza)
TOL  (Toll Brothers--chocolate chips!)
CPB (Campbell Soup--not sure if that's appealing to a kid )
PEP  (Pepsi)
KHC  (Kraft Heinz)
VZ   (Verizon--if you have that for internet or phones--it has a high dividend payout)
TM  (Toyota--if you drive one) and/or F (Ford)  -- might be fun to compare.

I'm sure it was just a brainfart, but Coke's ticker is KO, and Toll Brothers is a homebuilder. Homes are fun, but not as fun as the chocolate chips made by Toll House (owned by Nestle, ticker NSRGY).[/quote]
