How old do you have to be? Or buy Oil or other commodities?

You have to be eighteen, but i'd like to know if you have to buy lots of lots,or just seperately

Buy the share for a present for a child
The application needs to be placed in the childs name and the Guardians name clearly marked in the relavant box. We will transfer the Share over when they reach 16 years of age.

As was stated ^^ you can get them at any age, but if you don't buy them solely and there's an adult guardian and it's left in a trust fund until you reach adult status, or when stated by the guardian / sole buyer.
