okay here's the link http://www.oneshare.com/Stock.aspx?stock=apple

I'm turning 16 soon and my mom agreed to invest in stocks for me. How would this work? How often would I get money? How much? Any information would be highly appreciated!

Thanks Guys!

Sorry, but that is not an investment. That is not to say that Apple isn't a really good stock to own, but you are buying someone to obtain and frame a certificate--the bulk of your money is in the non-investment service.

If you just want to buy a few shares, even one, that you may later want to sell, then you've got to get a brokerage account. Since we are obviously talking small money, Scottrade needs only $500 to open an account, but in your case sharebuilder.com is better. The difference is like buying a baseball signed by someone and mounted, and then wanting to take it out and play a game in the park.

Great idea, buying a share or two of Apple, bad idea to pay for someone get the certificate and frame it for hanging on your wall--so that you can call it an investment.

Don't buy the package you see in your web site. Waste of money. Have your mother contact a broker and buy you a share and have it delivered. Getting the frame,mat, is stupid. If you want a frame go to the store and spend $5 for one. Apple is a good stock but not that other junk. The only money you are going to make is after you sell the stock at a price higher than what you paid. I suggest you follow the stock daily, in the paper or on your computer, for a few weeks.

Ok here is it the stock markey goes young one. For example lets say apples stock is currently at 150.00$. And lets say you buy 5 stocks in apple. That would be 750.00$ you are investing in aaple. Lets say over one week it goes up 5.75$. You would make 28.75 dollars. But it it went down 5.75$ then you would loose 28.75 dollars. Now once you buy it you can decide to sell your stock or hold on to it. If you sell it after the week when you made a total of 28.75$ Or you could hold on to it for a extended period of time lets say one year. It all depends on how much you stock goes up or down. The stock is changing every second the stock market is open. I hope this understands how the stocks work.

You need to open a brokerage account at Zecco if you want to make money.
You won't make any money if you buy from OneShare. That web site is for executives giving gifts to other executives. (One Share Framed)

You won't get any money ever because Apple DOES NOT PAY DIVIDENDS!

NO!!! Not what you listed.

You and your mom should watch Jim Cramer and Suze Orman and you should visit your local investment professional. DO NOT BUY THAT LISTING!!!! DO NOT!
