From Slider on Driller thread. If you really want to make your day; a business associate of mine has a computer geek son - his term, not mine; 16 years old. His son received a $40K from Grandparents - has traded it to $400K at age 16 in less than one year on all Internet & tech stocks; mainly Amazon, Yahoo, CMGI & the big names... Nothing more than buy and holding, but uses margin... and some trading.. This Internet-mania has created some potential teenage Millionaires... literally - unreal... the key will be; how many will get to ''keep'' that Million $ ... He had me try to talk his son into taking some profits... it's the ''kids'' account that his father set up for him; kid is using margin and making a killing - won't stop... we'll see what the rest of the story is... Only in America; A 16 year old kid; can now - buy & sell his Father; could make $1 Million on this ''mania'' ...
