Alex, if I were 12 and had 800 bucks I would put it in a savings account and forget about it until I was 18. Then I would use my 1500-2000 to pay for the first semester or two of college.

Hi Alex, I am very impressed to see you on this thread at your age, I wish I had shown such an active interest at stocks when I was your age. In regards to your question " Should you invest $800.- of your hard earned money into DGIV ? Well, if you want to leave it in DGIV, I think DGIV would be a great long term investment, but if it is all the money you have saved up in you piggy bank ? I WOULD NOT AT AGE 12. PLEASE, ALEX AND EVERYONE ELSE OUT THERE - IT IS STILL A BULLETIN BOARD STOCK - which means very risky Please only use what you can afford to lose, do not borrow on your credit cards, mortgage your house or ask your parents for money, until DGIV shows "real returns" this can all come crumbling down. So, Alex, make sure you check with your parents, before you do anything, o.k.!! RICO

Alex, you are to be commended for your interest in investing, and I think you should. You say you have 800 bucks; did you make this by investing, working, or was it a gift? If you got it by investing, I'd say keep right on doing what you're doing (assuming you started with LESS than $800). Otherwise, my suggestion would be to take $100 or $200 and put it into stocks of YOUR choosing. Nothing educates more thoroughly than having your own money on the line. Sure, you'll make mistakes, but that's life--and don't be afraid to make them (unfortunately, we learn more from our mistakes than our successes). Check in from time to time and let us know how you're doing because you've come across THE most literate and intelligent thread on SI. And you,too, can aspire to be like "jane,at the beach with no shoes on". Good luck.
