You are more likely to lose money that to earn it, and in any case, a 14-year-old cannot open a brokerage account.The best way for a teenager to earn money is good, old-fashioned, not sexy or exciting, WORK.Mowing lawns, flipping burgers, scooping ice cream, all of that fun stuff.When you are 18, and able to sign contracts, you will have plenty of money saved to get a real estate license, which is a good idea anyway, and then make some larger amounts of money to fund your investment ideas.Let me tell you what I did when I was young. 

So, we're really getting the cream of the crop of other countries - whether legal or not.

I also like using a light cream color, but I have a giant bucket of blue - blue it is!

Somehow everyone who claimed that our forces were GROSSLY OVERTAXED and "spread too thin", and "losing the cream of the officer and NCO corps", when we had 20,000-30,000 troops in the Balkans, seem to see no problem with the current mess.But not too worry about Irag, it's "the war that will fund itself through oil revenue" WHOOPS, and "Mission Accomplished", WHOOPS, and "Democracy is messy", WHOOPS, and "you go to war with the troops and equipment you have" WHOOPS, and "we know EXACTLY where the WMD are", WHOOPS.

The government sells JPM the cream (at a discount of course) and the tax payor gets to pick up the crap left over.

The cream always rises to the top though.

In contrast, while deodorant sales dried-up due to social distancing, locked-down consumers have sent ice-cream sales soaring.

Now that these buggers are getting paid off the income is increasing and the depreciation doesn't cut it.With my existing 6 figure salary all this rental income is just cream on the top for Uncle Sam to skim off.

Cream rises to the top.  

When you see a overweight person pushing a shopping basket full of ice cream, something doesn't look right.
