Give a Holiday Gift That Doesn't End When the Batteries Run Out.
How many times have you given your favorite child or grandchild the hottest toy, only to see it set aside in short order? This year, give something that’s not only unbreakable but has the potential to improve over time – a donation to a child’s 529 college savings plan.
With higher education costs increasing more rapidly than inflation, smart investors are turning to 529 plans. These plans provide:
Tax-deferred earnings potential
Possible tax-deductible contributions for residents who participate in their own state’s plan
Tax-free withdrawals for qualified higher education expenses1
Control of funds, even after the child reaches the age of majority
The flexibility to change beneficiaries anytime
Account limits of more than $200,000 in most cases
Possible estate benefits2
Give the children on your list a gift with the potential for lasting value. Contact your investment representative to learn more about 529 college savings plans.
1. Withdrawals used for expenses other than qualified education expenditures may be subject to federal, state and penalty taxes. Lump sum contribution of $55,000 per donor, per beneficiary in a single year, with no additional contributions for the next four years. Special gifting provision applies. Please consult your tax professional.
2. In the event of your death within a five-year period, the portion of the original gift allocated to years following your death is considered part of your estate for estate tax purposes. No additional contributions can be made for the next four years.
tee hee hee thanks for the cheering up!

Hi Tina,
I'll keep that in mind and let you know if I can think of anything.
This board is a great idea that I'm surprised nobody had thought of before; I just love the idea. Teaching kids while still young to invest wisely is something every child should know; I know I wish I that I had been introduced to the concept while still a youngster.
thanks ONEBGG! Any suggestions always welcome =)
Yikes, must have been bad if you debated that lol
yeah, I know!
Yesterday was so depressing, I debated even signing on today!
Hi Tina, slow day agian. Im doing OK today, thanks :)

hey lizzy! thanks for posting
Not sure if you've met Irish Bull before but IMO he's one of the BEST!
i'll definitely check out GRIN!
hope you're having a good day =)
I like LFBG....it's on the OTC, and it's on the low side right now! Keep an eye on it! It's fun to play and moves fast...both ways!
GRIN...short term target 2.50!
I found this on another board...looks good from here!
Trading at 3 x EBITDA (cash flow) GRIN ($1.17 + $.25) is the most undervalued China stock on the NASDAQ MARKET IMO based on financial metrics.
IF GRIN TRADED AT TYPICAL 12 X CASH FLOW IT WOULD BE IN THE $4 RANGE.
GRIN has all the ingredients for rapid appreciation, 5 MM float, cash flow positive, 2.5 book value with 350% sales growth trading at a 75% discount to peers in a booming sector.
GRIN is the largest pure play China manufacturer of toy related products, and also books, packaging and party goods. GRIN's customer list includes Wal Mart, Sears, Costco and Toy R US. GRIN produces some of the hottest selling names today: Sponge-bob, Spiderman(marvel) and nickelodeon.
Here are some other reasons why GRIN is an attractive investment:
1) 5 MM float with 16 MM shares OS
2) $2.5 book value
3) Year over year 350% sales growth from 2004 to 2005 to $130 MILLION.
4) GRIN operations generated over $6 million EBITDA in 2005, the only reason it is not showing GAAP profit is aquisition related charges and depreciation / amortization.
5) The Christmas season has historically been the strongest period for GRIN stock. Seceral analysts predict 2006 will be a record toy season.
6) NASDAQ just approved GRIN for continued listing, which removed much of the uncertainty depressing the share price.

Ever wonder what to get a kid that has everything? How about a unique gift that teaches them about money? Ever consider stocks for kids?
Buying stocks for kids can be very educational. Introducing the concept of money at a young age can be very beneficial and teaching kids by involvement and participation is a very effective method of establishing an understanding of how money and business works.

First Stocks for Kids
There are lots of other great stocks in which young ones might invest. Take a trip to the supermarket, for example, and you'll run across many of their favorite foods, many made by solid companies. Lucky Charms fans might invest in General Mills (NYSE: GIS) -- which also owns the Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Green Giant, Häagen-Dazs, and Old El Paso brands, among many others.
When it comes to fashion trends, your young ones are likely much savvier than you are, and have some major edges in evaluating companies as possible investments. Help them understand the many advantages they have as young investors -- such as the power of time and insights into the youth market

One of the best ways to purchase stock in small amounts is through ShareBuilder www.sharebuilder.com. The commission is as low as $4 per trade, and there's no investment or account minimum, or inactivity fee.
In addition, ShareBuilder lets you buy fractional shares. If you invested, say, $200 for each child in a stock trading at $16 a share, each of them would own 12 1/4 shares (less the $4 commission).
Another great way to purchase stock in a company for as little as $25 is to be enrolled in a company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, commonly called a DRIP. DRIPs are plans offered by companies for the reinvestment of cash dividends by purchasing additional shares or fractional shares, on the dividend payment date. Many DRIPs also allow the investment of additional cash from the shareholder, known as an Optional Cash Payment or Optional Cash Purchase (OCP). The DRIP is usually administered by the company without charges or with just nominal fees to the participants, and many allow additional purchases of as little as $10 to $25. For most DRIPs, you must already be a shareholder of the company to enroll. This means that you must own a minimum of one share, but some require that you own more shares.
One of the easiest ways to obtain the first share of a company's stock, so that you may participate in its DRIP, is by going directly to the company. Companies that offer their stock for sale to the investing public are sometimes referred to as No-Load Stocks. These stocks, in many cases, can be purchased without using a broker or paying brokerage commissions.
Here are some companies that make it fun for kids to have shares:
* William Wrigley Jr. Co. sends stockholders a 100-stick box of gum each December.
* Kellogg sends a packet of coupons for such goodies at Pop-Tarts and Froot Loops.
* Disney offers the Magic Kingdom Club with discounts on resorts and theme parks.
* 3M, for a small charge, offers holiday gifts boxes of tape, Post-Its and other products.
