Book Description

Release Date: July 16 2002 | Series: Motley Fool (Book 10)
From the personal-finance duo Fortune magazine called "funny, smart, cynical, opinionated" comes savvy financial advice for today's street-smart young investors.

The Motley Fool has made investing fun and easy for millions of people. Now, it custom designs its wit and wisdom for today's money-savvy teens.

The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens helps teens stand out from the ho-hum mutual-fund crowd, build a portfolio of stocks they can actually care about, and take advantage of the investor's best friend -- time -- to watch their profits multiply.

  • Strike a blow for financial independence. The Fool shows you how to:

  • Question authority when it comes to managing your money

  • Save cash (for investing, for college...and, yes, even for having fun!)

  • Dodge the spending and saving pitfalls that trap so many adults

  • Get started investing -- online and off -- with just a few dollars

  • Discover up-and-coming businesses that could become future blue chips

Warning: this is not your parents' money guide! From identifying companies that are both cool and profitable to building a portfolio that makes tracking investments exciting, The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens shows young investors the way to financial freedom.

Product Description

From Amazon

In 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

5.0 out of 5 stars This book offers a unique advantage to..... Sep 9 2002
By "capitalist31"
Format:Paperback
.... anyone attempting to start investing intelligently. It provides information that a person of any age can use, but offers many things to teenagers that other books lack. Most books in the teenage investing realm are "dumbed-down" and talk to future tycoons like they are 10 years old.

This book takes care of that and provides a real world knowledge of investing in a way that almost anyone would benefit from reading. It offers many things that other books in this market lack, especially the examples and profiles of successful investors.

If a teenager is serious about learning to invest, then this book will help them start in a way that will guarantee them future success. From one teenager to another, I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book they will read Jun 18 2004
By Mom/Nurse Ann
Format:Paperback
Although it contains some information that my daughter thought was unrealistic, like the amount she should be able to save each week, she thought the book had some great ideas. I especially liked that they didn't talk down to the teenagers yet told them about the true financial cost of smoking, the good use of credit cards, ATMS and the fiancial mistakes many people make. A good book that tells it to them straight in a format that they will read.
