re: 14 Year Old Wants to Invest

I invested $1000 when i was 12, around 1998. By 2000 I had $10,000 in investments, in 2002 I was back down to $1000. Tech stocks were hot and it was the only sector I bought, even though I was young I learned a ton about diversification and taking profits. I have been contributing bi-weekly ever since, whether it be $10 or $500.

These investments and lessons have changed my life, I hope I can get my kids interested the same way.
