<p>ladeornmc, are you at Harvard currently? 
</p>
<p>To the OP:</p>
<p>Newsletter? Were you running yet another pump and dump?</p>
<p>Custodial accounts make it very easy (and very legal) to trade when you’re a minor… I’m not sure why or how you would be doing anything illegal solely as a minor, other than running a pump and dump or other trading fraud that would be ugly if a minor were eaten by the SEC. You said you earned “$50,000 in 3 months,” but you didn’t say what your principle was. I trade, Buffett trades, and just remember that multi-billion dollar firms on Wall Street beating the S&P by 30% is considered spectacular. </p>
<p>If you were doing something illegal, such as pump and dump (which I cannot possibly imagine your newsletter would/could be used for anything else), I would not suggest telling admissions officers this. Of course, it’s your judgement.</p>
