A Hand Me Down Gift That Keeps On Giving

Hand me down flip-flops hand me down socks. Hand me down drug dealers hand me down rocks. Hand me down a fifty pack swisher-sweet box.                                                    And goodfella rich ____ Hand Me Down Stocks!!!                                      (Ludacris, throw Dem Bows)

Giving shares of stock  is a great way for you to build up the next generation Urban Moguls. And companies such as http://www.oneshare.com make it possible to buy as little as one share of stock. They even send the recipient a framed stock certificate that they can hang on the wall.  More importantly the gift will appreciate in value as the years go by.

For example, if you bought 25 shares of Ford Motor Company’s stock last Christmas, you would have paid approximately 38 dollars on the gift. But ONE year later, those same 25 shares are worth TWO HUNDRED and FORTY FIVE DOLLARS!!                      (Based on 52 week price range of Ford stock from 1.50 to 9.80)

Of course pass returns are not indicative of future results, but with time this gift will keep on giving…
