The Daily Money: Teenagers investing in stocks; T-Mobile data breach exposes Social Security numbers

Good morning, it's Nathan saying hi this Wednesday morning!

💹 I was fortunate to learn some basic money tips in a high school economics class two decades ago. I know a lot of students don't have the privilege of having such a class.

I distinctly remember my teacher preaching the virtues of the Roth IRA. He urged us to start as soon as possible.

But should teens be allowed to invest in stocks on their own? Some are beginning to. More on that below from my colleagues Craig Harris and Jessica Menton.

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: ​Teenage investors are joining the stock market thanks to programs like Fidelity's that allow 13-to-17-year-olds to trade by themselves. However, several competitors told USA TODAY that Fidelity’s program raised some eyebrows in the banking industry as most other institutions only allow custodial accounts for teens, meaning they require an adult to execute a trade. 

⌚ WHAT TO WATCH FOR: T-Mobile customers need to keep an eye out for this one. T-Mobile has been struck by yet another data breach. This time the data includes personal information like Social Security numbers, birth dates and names for tens of millions of customers.
