Project: Dividend Stocks for Teenagers - October dividends update

In my daughter's account in October we sold shares of EMR and bought 68 shares of HCP.

We survived Harvey without much damages but in October we had a strong rain and because drains were clogged my daughter's car got flooded. Insurance company totaled her car and luckily for her they paid more than if we would try to sell her car. We decided not to buy a new car for now and share mine because we both don't drive much. I am trying to convince her to invest her insurance money into more stocks, so stay tuned! We might have more transactions in November/December.

My daughter's October Dividends

GE	13.44
LHO	21.11
Total	34.55

Project: Dividend Stocks for Teenagers - August dividends and new account

In August I was moving money between accounts (using my son's 529 account to pay for my daughter's school) and I opened a new brokerage account for my 16 y.o. son where I put an amount we withdraw for my daughter's school.

I asked him which stock he wants to buy. I didn't give him a big list but mostly all well knows stocks.

He picked Ford. I bought 185 shares of F(Ford) at $10.61 per share.

We will have another investment next time when my daughter will need money to pay for her college classes.

So I will keep you updated on his account progress as well.

Back to my daughter's account.

I am trying not to touch her brokerage account but this year we were not qualified for FAFSA at all, she didn't get any new scholarships and we used all her 529 college account, so we had to use part of her brother's 529 account. She has one more full semester and summer to pay for. She is working part time as a hostess and since she is living with me, she is saving most of money she earns. I think she will be able to finish college without any loans and even without touching her investment account. This is the goal. So we are not going to invest any money into her account for now because her next payment for college will be due just in 3-4 months.

In July there was only one stock paying dividends LHO $20.8

August Dividends

PG	$12.41
RY	$14.74
