Young investors rarely get involved in investing in individual stocks for a number of reasons. Whether it is a lack of money available to invest or the inability to navigate the stock market due to a lack of experience and knowledge, it can be difficult to start investing. With that said, starting while young can be very fruitful in many ways. Obviously, your money has more time to grow, but even more, learning how to invest takes years and the experience gained from starting early can be very lucrative.
I believe dividend stocks are a great area to focus on for new and young investors because they tend to be less volatile, provide a slight buffer against loss because of the dividend, and most importantly, because the philosophy of investing in such stocks tends to be a more conservative long-term approach rather than trading for a quick buck.
