Are you allowed to get a stock when you are 12?

Question

i am 12 and wondering whther i am allowed to invest

Answer 1

In the United States, you can not open a brokerage account until your 18.

However, one of your parents can open a custodian for you. It would be in a parent's name as custodian for you.  The account would have your social security number, and when you become 18, the securities can be moved into your own account,

I started when I was 12 and made my own investments and was trading while in high school.

Go for it, good luck and don't ever let anyone tell you you're too young

Answer 2

No, you are not.  Basically, you would be entering into a contract.  You can only do that if you are 18 or older.
