Street Wise: A Guide for Teen Investors Author: Janet BamfordPublisher: Bloomberg PressMedia: PaperbackRelated ProductsView some of the @count@ related items available from eBay. Related Items Available from eBayProduct DescriptionMove over rock 'n roll-- teens are playing the markets as never before! Teen investors have powerful advantages over the rest of us. Many are whizzes at financial research on the Internet. They're quick to master discount stock trading online. Already, an estimated million kids are actively involved in the stock market. Often these teenage investors have amassed substantial nest eggs--even before they've finished high school. Although teen investors need adult cosigners for their brokerage and mutual fund custodial accounts, it's not unusual for them to be the driving force behind their parents' and relatives' investment decisions. Now teens have another leg up--a book that explains the successes and investment strategies of real-life teen investors, along with the wisdom of Wall Street pros, and tips on how to make the most of the Web. The popularity of stock-picking contests and high school investment clubs--along with successful marketing vehicles, such as Stein Roe's Young Investors Fund--have created a growing demand for investment information focused on teens, written for teens. This book provides exactly what they want. Everything Teens Need to Know: Average Rating: 4.5 Product ReviewsRating:  Streetwise - guide for teenVery easy to understand - I bought this for my 15 year old and I am reading it!! I actually get it now! Rating:  A Little Too Boring 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. This Street Wise book is a little too much like homework. 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. Both books together make a solid start to an investing library for teens. Rating: Excellent resourceI 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. I tried a couple different books, but they all seemed too childish or too confusing. I found Street Wise at the library, and even before I had finished reading it I ordered my own copy. The whole book is very well-organized and kept me very interested all the way through.
Rating: A must for all teenagers!This is an excellent introduction to the stock market for teenagers. The book is directed towards teenagers and accomplishes it's goal well. All teenagers should read this book to gain a starting knowledge of the American Stockmarket. Rating: Awesome!This book was a great introduction to the Stock Market for me. It was simple and easy to read. It was also interesting. I highly recommend this book. |
