He will then have GILD, KMI, CVX and AAPL for college fund investments.

This is an awesome group of companies and a great gift from his dad for sure!

Thanks. I'm only doing $50 per month so we aren't talking about gobs of money, but with Sharebuilder I can buy a new investment of $200 every 4 months and it only costs $3.95 per transaction and allows me to buy partial shares. I just put a scheduled investment for $200 and it will purchase shares on Tuesday.

I didn't have any savings to speak of when I went into college and with 4 kids my parents weren't able to help a whole lot. I'm hoping by starting from my kids birth and doing just the $50 per month, which is fairly painless if I just get it set up to come out every month, they can have $25k-$35k in funds to help them get a chunk paid for.
