I actually get it now. Very easy to understand - I bought this for my 15 year old and I am reading it.
If you're trying to get the teen exciting about investing and its possibilities, the Motley Fool book is a better choice in my opinion. This Street Wise book is a little too much like homework. Both books together make a solid start to an investing library for teens. This book has all the nuts and bolts, but it is a little too boring to keep the attention of my 16-year-old nephew. I also got him the Motley Fool Guide to Teen Investing which was much more interesting.
The whole book is very well-organized and kept me very interested all the way through.Although teens as young as thirteen or fourteen would find the material age-appropriate, I would consider this book a valuable resource for adults as well. The advantages and disadvantages of funds 5. I tried a couple different books, but they all seemed too childish or too confusing.
The basics of how the stock market operates 3. How to cope when the market is down 6. How investors actually buy and sell stocks 4.
I started looking into investing and the stock market a year or so ago when I realized I had enough money to start investing long-term. The value of compound interest for young investors 2. Many investing resources, including clubs, trading games, and helpful websites.Speaking as a teenager, I would highly recommend this book to any young adult who wants to start investing.
I found Street Wise at the library, and even before I had finished reading it I ordered my own copy. In "Street Wise," Bamford describes: 1.
But, this book is definitely an introduction - if you have a good knowledge of the stock market already, this might not be for you. All teenagers should read this book to gain a starting knowledge of the American Stockmarket.The book teaches stock vocabulary, trading tips, how to start, risk and rewards, and many other topics. This is an excellent introduction to the stock market for teenagers. The book is directed towards teenagers and accomplishes it's goal well.
I highly recommend this book. It was also interesting. This book was a great introduction to the Stock Market for me. It was simple and easy to read.
