To those that say DNA seq; although the cost to perform the actual sequence has dropped, there are still a ton of overhead costs in acquiring and managing any genomic data. Context - product platform guy at biobank.

If he's doing it based on valuation models he's created and 10-Ks, why not. Might be a fun math exercise if he has money to burn.
How do you trade stocks with the amounts of money a typical 11 y.o. has?
Get a small business loan from your parents?
Loads of kids do that for things like a lemonade stand or a lawn mowing business during the summer.

I'm assuming an 11 year old trading stocks has parents that have money to burn and receives it from them, so this wouldn't apply to typical 11 year olds.

Uh, GitHub really wasn't the first to offer free hosting, and it's definitely not something of the "last couple of years". Geocities has been doing that since 1995 and I don't know if they were the first. Moreover, GH Pages is super limited, others allow you to run dynamic scripts (PHP being the most popular). I never heard of Netlify but Wikipedia tells me it's standard shared hosting for static content.
As for "cloud" storage, that's getting cheaper in the sense that they are reducing profit margins (getting closer to charging the actual cost price), but if you roll your own, you can still do it for less than what the cheapest third party charges. And those costs are also dropping year over year. With both effects combined, I guess it's dropping quite rapidly, but for two separate reasons and not because of advances in hard drive tech.

Interesting fact: the price of a bushel basket of wheat has been approximately equal to a single British Pound Sterling since the 1300s. At that time the pound was only slightly denatured, it was worth only slightly less than a pound of silver.

There are several brokerages that will let you buy fractional shares.

No, netlify is basically a fancy-ish github pages.
