Investing in stocks on my son's private account locked for him until age 21. Join me to see how tiny monthly deposits can build impressive capital for our kids!
I opened a custodial brokerage account (UTMA) for my 2-year-old son Milan at Chase Bank here in Indiana.
Every month I invest $300–500 from my regular paycheck — a realistic amount for most families — directly into the stock market. These funds legally belong to him. I cannot use them for myself. When he turns 21 (Indiana UTMA rules), full control passes to Milan. This is his protected financial foundation: safe from my potential mistakes, bankruptcy, or life setbacks. The money starts working and compounding from his earliest years.
My mission is simple: inspire parents everywhere to start building real capital for their kids as early as possible. Show through my own transparent example that consistent small actions over 19+ years can create life-changing results.
I often think: if my family had invested even modest amounts for me growing up, by adulthood I'd have had far more options and freedom. I don't blame my parents — they poured everything into my education and growth. But I want to give Milan something different: a real head start.
As an individual investor (active trading + long-term holdings), here's how I'll approach it:
Strategy will evolve toward lower risk as the account grows (positive cash flow companies, transparent earnings, reasonable valuations, smart entry prices).
Not pure "buy & forget" — regular portfolio review and re-evaluation will be part of the process.
Speculative plays possible only within acceptable risk levels.
No gambling on contracts/futures, but long-term calls/puts or protective puts for hedging — when it makes sense — are on the table.
I'll share every deposit, every trade, every update openly: screenshots, numbers, progress. Full transparency.
Important DisclaimerNothing on this account is financial, investment, or personalized advice. These are my personal investments, made at my own risk. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Investments can lose value. This is NOT copy-trading or a signal service — do NOT mirror my positions. I may close or adjust trades well before (or after) posting updates, and reporting may not always be instant (life happens, but I'll do my best to stay timely). My goal is to spark the trend of parents caring about their children's long-term financial security from day one — not to provide trading signals or recommendations. Always do your own research, consult professionals, and only invest what you can afford to lose.
If you're a parent dreaming of a better financial future for your child — join the journey. Small, consistent steps can compound into something powerful.

$TRT keeps delivering, now over $5M in this Q alone. This is not stopping anytime soon.
Trio-Tech just announced an additional $2.6 million in new orders for high-performance burn-in boards supporting a next-generation AI GPU platform. North American and European customers.
But here is the number that matters.
This quarter alone TRT has now received over $5 million in new burn-in board orders. On top of the $5.3 million announced in March. That is over $10 million in GPU and CPU burn-in board orders in a single fiscal year from this segment alone.
Revenue last quarter was up 124% YoY. Semiconductor back-end solutions up 141% YoY. And the order momentum is accelerating, not plateauing.
The CEO said it directly: "The current order activity reflects growing demand for our burn-in and reliability solutions for advanced CPU and GPU computing requirements."
Why context matters:
Every AI GPU and CPU that ships has to pass burn-in testing before it leaves the factory. No exceptions. You cannot skip this step. As NVIDIA scales Blackwell and Rubin Ultra into production at volumes the industry has never seen, every single chip needs to go through a burn-in board. TRT makes those boards. In Southeast Asia. Right where the manufacturing is happening.
The Malaysia expansion is the tell. They just signed a lease for an additional 104,000 square feet in Perai, Penang. That is not a company responding to one order. That is a company positioning for a multi-year ramp.
The bear case remains the same as before. Gross margins under pressure as they scale. But the thesis is intact and the orders keep coming.
TRT meets demand where it’s needed.

Not financial advice.
Just a small reminder:
If you’re invested in the growth stocks/smaller market caps, you must learn to embrace the volatility. Stocks can go up as much as they can go down. But know that ultimately it’ll be up if you pick the right ones.
If you can’t embrace it, you shouldn’t be doing this!
How to buy $SIVE (Sivers Semiconductors) from the USA?
There are several ways, but I did it through Interactive Brokers (IBKR).
With a regular account you'll get a "lack of market data" warning when placing an order.
To fix this and get much cheaper subscriptions, switch to Non-Professional status:
Professional version costs ~$45/month
Non-Professional costs only ~$2/month ✅
How to change it:
Go to Settings → Market Data Subscriptions
Click the gear icon next to "Market Data Subscriber Status"
Select Non-Professional and answer the questions (just say YES if you're a regular retail investor)
Then subscribe to Nordic Equity (L1) under the Europe/Nordic section.
After that the warning disappears and you can easily place orders for Swedish stocks like $SIVE.
Anyone else trading SIVE from the US? What broker do you use?
