Mrclam, definately wise to start investing early. I've been investing in stocks since I was 16 (more like 14 if I count the "pretend" portfolios that my parents made me do). Of course it helps if your dad is a financial consultant (in my case) so fortunately I haven't lost any significant amount of money. At 19, I can say that I have a better feel for finance then most kids my age and will help me with my studies in finance. Can't tell you how many times my dad emphasized how important investments are...it really annoyed me when I was younger but I sure appreciate it now
