What age do i have to be to buy stocks?

Question

how to buy stocks, manage, where to buy them.

Answer 1

I don't know the exact age, but it's probably 13+.  If you're a minor, you need a joint account with an adult.  I had an account with Scottrade at 17 yrs old.  You can easily buy stocks and manage your stock portfolio on their website at www.scottrade.com.

Answer 2

In this country 18. Of course, I don't know if you are in this country, as you didn't say!

Answer 3

Like any other form of gambling, in the US you need to be an adult.

But if you're a minor, you could ask your parents to invest on your behalf, and hold it in trust for you.

Answer 4

You have to be 18 years old to open a brokerage account.

If your younger, there must be a custodian account for you,

Someone said they have an account at the age of 17 and you could open one at 13   This is an incorrect response

An account for a 17 year old is illegal and subject to penalties, such as fines, liquidations and censure, also you can not open an account at 13
