I2 Some ideas coming up for you: If I were giving stock to someone - like a young person - with no real interest in the stock market, I would look for a stock that represents a company or product the person might be familiar with and might see and remember the gift when he/she does see the product/service/company. Jmo of course. Anyway here is a bunch of suggestions. I own all these stocks; I've no idea or opinion if these companies will be around and/or thrive in the next ten years though. HED: skiing/sporting equipment. An occasional dividend. RUTH: The steakhouse. (If you can step up for $884 or go with just 50 shares) RAD: The drugstore chain GCT: College dorms/military housing. Great dividend. Stock trades though like company's going out of business. And maybe it could. GW: Oil service co. Maybe a little too esoteric a company for a gift of its stock. Not a junk company though (imo). GHS: community newspapers. Great dividend. Again, trading like it's going bk. (And again, maybe it is) CNTY: Gambling casinos. Maybe a fun annual report to read. EVDVF.pk: Owns a lot Canroys. It's not quite a mutual fund. The person receving this gets a dividend every month as a remembrance/reminder. Maybe some safety in its diversification although it's sector bound (Canadian trusts)

Unfortunately, none of very long term buys are below $7. EGY maybe? It's not a very long term hold IMO though.
