My First Stock

While there may be thousands of good books on stock trading for adult investors, this book demystifies capital market fundamentals for adolescents, especially those 15 to 19 years of age. Research demonstrates the significance of adolescence. If good spending and saving habits are not acquired in these years, the likelihood for financial disaster later on dramatically increases. Today’s children are tomorrow’s responsible citizens. This book is meant to introduce them to responsible saving and trading habits, so they can take charge of their debt-free financial future with confidence. Capital markets can give them this opportunity, but only if they understand the fundamentals and learn to invest and trade in stock responsibility. We have avoided jargon wherever possible and have provided a glossary. Key concepts are illustrated with real-life, practical examples. The market trivia and hot lists sprinkled through make this an engaging reading experience for young investors.
