The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens: 8 Steps to Having More Money Than Your Parents Ever Dreamed Ofproduct pricing List Price: Price: $10.17 You Save: $4.78 (32%)  Authors: David Gardner, Tom Gardner, Selena MaranjianPublisher: FiresideMedia: PaperbackRelated ProductsView some of the @count@ related items available from eBay. Related Items Available from eBayProduct DescriptionIn a wise and witty manner, brothers David and Tom Gardner, founders of the multimedia investment company The Motley Fool, impart their investment strategies to the adolescent masses with The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens. In eight teen-friendly sections, the brothers Gardner and writing partner Selena Maranjian demystify the stock market by describing and defining mutual funds, banking practices, IRAs, and drip investing. The authors also include numerous quotes from money-savvy adolescents who detail some of their rookie market moves in an attempt to help their peers steer clear of similar mistakes. Parents will approve of the strongly worded sections on credit card debt and the costly financial and physical tolls a smoking habit takes on both wallet and health. In fact, parents would do well to pick up this investment primer for their own edification, if they find the stock market a confusing and chaotic business. Loaded with worksheets, helpful Web sites on a variety of financial subjects, a concise glossary, and a comprehensive index, this is one investment guide that both generations can and will turn to again and again. Traditionally, teens have been known for having a hard time seeing the proverbial Big Picture. But the Gardners respond admirably to this characteristic, by constantly emphasizing the fortune teens can make in the future by investing now and reminding them that investing money is the least labor-intensive way to make more of the desirable green stuff. A perfect gift for the burgeoning Warren Buffet in your life. (Ages 12 and older) --Jennifer Hubert Average Rating: 5.0 Product ReviewsRating:  Outstanding!This is an outstanding personal finance and investing primer for both teens and college students. Even though I'm just outside of the intended age bracket for this book (an expensive fact for which I am now painfully aware), any young person can gain tremendous insight from this well written and accessible guide to finances. It starts from the very beginning (opening a checking account) and moves right along into savings, money market accounts, CD's, IRA's, 401K's, mutual funds, etc... Without boring us to death, the authors break every step of investing down into must-know facts and advice. It also gives readers a eye for financial forecasting by focusing heavily on compound interest and what it *really* means for investors in the long run. Finally, it addresses debt (especially with regard to credit cards) and preaches financial solvency. I highly, highly recommend this one. It was outstanding and highly informational. I can't wait to read other Motley Fool investing guides! Rating: Great Book!I bought this book for my younger brother whos starting off in investing and like always i read books before i recommend them so i read the "Moteley Fool Investment Guide FOR TEENS" and I was surprised as to how simple and easy they made it to read and learn. It's funny, it's clear, I wish I had seen this book when I started learning. And i dont even think that it ONLY is for teens. I believe that ANYBODY with a desire to learn investing and doesnt know much about it, can really use this book. Rating: financial for youthThis is a great book. Purchased it for my grandson and he has already stated reading it. Rating: Excellent book with a lot of helpful informationI loved reading this book, it was a quick and easy read that really helped me to fully grasp the basics of investing. In the past I had picked up bits and pieces, this really put it all together for me.
Rating: Excellent book to give your kids a good understanding of investmentI bought this for my 12 year old in addition to a cash gift for him to put away in the investment of his choice - hoping he could increase the cash for a method of transport when he's old enough to drive. Interesting enough, he read it in one day and started looking up investment items immediately. Secretly, I read it at night so I could keep up with his newly acquired knowledge. It's a good read and very informative. |
