debt than any previous generation. GiveAshare.com sees
Snap stock as a way to pry youngsters' focus away from taking the perfect
selfies long enough to help turn the tide. The company specializes in
selling single shares of stock as a gift. Customers can choose from a
stock list of more
than 110 companies. On March 2nd, they can
buy Snapchat stock. “It takes just two minutes and a credit card to start teaching skills they
will use for a lifetime,” GiveAshare.com founder Rick Roman said. Giving kids and young adults a share of stock in a company they love, like
Snap Inc., is a powerful way to teach them about money and the market.
First, the stock certificate is the critical attention-getter. Then each mailing
from THEIR company - annual reports, invites to shareholder meetings, and even
declared dividends - becomes a learning opportunity. "Snapchat's suitability as an investment in not important at this stage, the
key is to pick a company they love and get their attention," Roman said.
"The rest comes later." Roman founded GiveAshare.com in 2002 to make it easy for others to replicate
the his experience as a teen. “My mom helped me buy Topps Chewing Gum, the perfect choice for a fanatical
sports card collector," he said. "It got my attention and changed my
life!” About GiveAshare.com GiveAshare.com makes it very easy for customers to buy one share of stock as
