One of the best gifts I ever received was when I was an ignorant, flat-broke, imbecilic baby. My grandmother gave me some shares of Procter & Gamble stock. After 40 years, every $1 in stock that she gave me grew to be worth $70.
I do not have the gift-idea gene. If you get stuck, here’s a really good one! Open a ShareBuilder Custodial account for your child with Promo Code STOCKGIFT12. Deposit at least $25 and ShareBuilder will kick in $25.
The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Another nice perk about P&G stock is that every three months it pays a dividend. Every time I look at that stock and get that dividend, I am reminded of this perpetual gift.
You can get a $100 bonus if you deposit $5,000 by clicking here. They even have a fancy certificate that you can fill out online, print out and present.
The Sharebuilder link is broken
Thanks Micah. I just fixed it.
If I use your sharebuilder link I get $25 bonus
If I go directly to sharebuilder, I get $50
🙂
Thanks Micah, I do not see that offer for opening the Sharebuilder Custodial account I wrote about. Please reply to this with the link to the offer you saw.
You can get $50 for opening an Electric Orange Checking account via Sharebuilder’s ING DIRECT. Is that what you saw?
Here you go Chip
BTW great blog. It has been very useful to me and I love your humor

This is GREAT, Micah! Thanks. When I read your message, I called Sharebuilder. They did not know about this $50 offer. Left hand meet right hand.
P.S. I just got off the phone with ShareBuilder. They said that the $50 Bonus is no longer – only the $25. I asked what would happen if one applied via the $50 Bonus link. She said that the system will not recognize it. Oh well. Still not a bad offer!
Haha Thanks Chip
