    So, no experience or time to waste learning much about buying and selling stocks. Just want to spend a couple G's on stocks for my grandkids. Don't want to pay a bunch of money to do it. Robinhood or...?

    I use Fidelity to trade.

    I use the Robinhood app to check my stocks.

    ETrade and Ameritrade both have free trades also. They are pretty similar in function so it's mostly a UI preference.

    Disney profits massively from China's Uyghur Genocide/Forced Slave Labor Camps, so no.

    Is your goal to teach them about investing or to just set some money aside for them?

    And what are their ages?

    So why not US Government bonds then? I'd advice setting up mutual funds or IRAs for them through Merrill Lynch or another brokerage firm.

    Only investing in 100% American companies, preferably newer entrepreneurs with products that help children attain individual freedom, and who appreciate America's founding principles of individual freedom and a government of the people of America, by the people of America, for the people of America.

    They're both pre-adults.

    US govt bonds aren't foreign countries unless you've moved....also be aware what is made here in the US probably uses parts from all over the globe ....especially if they have screens and chips...also they are probably operated with Iphones or Gates foundation computers....I guess you could look into the Amana colonies and invest in Amish cottage industries. Shaker furniture?

    Probably better off just burning the cash in front of them

    If you use a computer or electronic device you already have...every battery you've ever used is built from material imported from overseas...mostly Afghanistan and Chile...

    Yes, I am aware of how the Deep State Globalist Economy currently operates and somewhat limits our choices. But for investment there are many alternatives, and that is how the Deep State will be defeated. By losing investments.

    If you still have money to spend on frivolities like grandchildren, then Donald Trump is very disappointed that you stand with the Democrats. Donate today!
