The Stock Market for Beginners

1998
We tried to teach kids our age about the advantages of investing early in the stock market. We also thought it was important for them to feel comfortable looking up stocks in the newspaper. We also wanted them to be knowledgeable about how the stock market works, of course. We wanted them to know that the stock market is for them too, not just for adults, and can even be a fun and educational experience. We think it's exciting to follow stocks, and we thought that if they could see that other kids their age were comfortable with this topic, it would encourage them to give it a try.
