Q: I have opened an in trust investment account for my two children aged 9 and 10. At this time I have $5000 for each. This money is not intended for their education as I a saving for this separately. I would like for this money to sit for them long term and grow. I would like to buy one or two stocks for long term growth and a decent dividend is a bonus. Can you suggest one or two stocks that fit this category. I do plan to add small amounts over time for them.
