The only "stock" i have is with my retirement company. I've been researching stock for a while and have come to the conclusion that I want to invest in at least 1 technology that I know (Electronics and computers) and in one DRIP.
I plan on setting my son up with a DRIP account in JNJ because they pay good dividends and I believe they have plenty of room to grow in developing nations and people are getting older which will increase how much money is spent on medical supplies. While I don't expect large fast gains, they have given good returns over the last 10 years. DRIPs also allow him to deposit $25 at a time with no additional fees, which will be something he can afford. I want to use the account to teach him about stock as he gets older. I'm doing this because I realize that had I invested all my savings as a youth I could have been a millionair by now
