You have to be 18 to own stock of your own – but this doesn’t stop thousands of minors, including myself, from buying and selling shares using accounts supervised by their parents.

I had my own brokerage account when I was 16 but that was many years ago. There may be some statutory age requirement now. Just call a brokerage firm and ask.
