hi, welcome
in terms of opportunity selection, the evidence suggests that a "flash game website" is a better option than "a financial stock market website" (primarily based on the vc/m&a trands and internet use demographics)

p.s. "business ideas" is incorrect terminology. what you're asking is "does anyone have any other business opportunities for a teenager". you're looking for opportunities, not ideas because you're a businessperson rather than an artist.

what is the flash website going to have on it ? do you know how many un-heard-of flash games there that have compleetely failed?

Saying "what will get me more money" doesn't work around here. In order to make the big bucks you have to love what you do. No one on here can give you the best option to success, instead you have to find the path yourself and believe it even if no one else does.

When I was 16, or younger, I was asking the same questions, and you are in a tough position, because its hard to apply for documentation without being 18. Im not sure if they give credit cards and bank accounts at that age, and both are pretty essential, not to mention business licensing. However, I suppose I operated under the radar, and used my dads information. But, if you have the notion of id rather create a website, than get a job. Than I could offer some advice. Basically when I was a teenager, I developed a drive to start a business so that I would not have to work for minimum wage. I began selling pokemon cards on ebay, later I started selling leather goods. I only suggest you look into some type of sales, because you asked what will get you more money. For my age I was making plenty of money and having to do very little work, not to mention your high school network is a great place to start selling. Keep me updated on how things are going, I am now 20, but feel I am just a little ahead of the learning curve you are on.

You know flash games web sites are a great idea for some reason. If you check out market place web sites that have web sites for sale, flash games seem to be a big hit. These over night sites sell for over $1,000 on a regular basis. Incredible.

google some local auctions and purchase items in bulk in public, and ebay them. Im 18 it got me started

I agree with pboychuck, try some kind of selling. You are more likley to get a higher return than on a website that will need to get lots of hits before you may be able to make some money via advertisements.
