I think that's a wonderful idea. You're so young and that makes it even better because it's great to get an early start. My advice is to learn everything that you can about the stock market. My method is mainly fundamental analysis mixed with a little technical analysis (I mainly use it for entry points). Don't get caught up in all of the hype and always remember what the great Warren Buffet has always said, "Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful". I have found this saying to be very true. Anyway, I'm 30 now and I would give anything to have started investing at your age. Good luck, I think you're very smart for wanting to invest!
