...make legally binding transactions, such as buying stocks. But these new mini-masters of the universe have their ways of playing the market. Jason's mom, for example, opened a $3,500 account but allows him to manage it with her as financial adviser. The average age of Stein Roe Young Investor Fund's 231,248 shareholders is 10.
