  • Educating Youths About Stocks: Basics of Buying Stocks

    Allen Thomas

    Paperback (Allen Thomas, July 17, 2017)
    What will the reader gain from reading this book, well insight about entrepreneurship and how investors play a major role in the success of entrepreneurs? Later in the book the reader will follow the journey of a neighborhood baker looking to expand his business and learn how the decisions he makes could contribute to the success or failure of the baker’s business. This book was written to educate our young people about the importance of making informed decisions regarding investing in the stock market and entrepreneurship. Granted, finance is not an interesting or a sexy topic, but it can be fun if it's understood. Reading about the decisions made by the baker will hopefully teach the reader about the pros and cons of being an entrepreneur and an investor. You can't build a house without basic knowledge about construction principles nor write a computer program without having a basic understanding of algorithms, so why having a basic understanding about investing and entrepreneurship be any different. The book was purposefully written with less than 30 pages so not to lose the reader's attention as most young people and some adults have a short attention span. It is my hope that upon reading this book that the reader would be in a better position to read more advanced material on this topic and apply what he or she has learned to make informed decisions regarding their financial future. Too often young people are asked to pick a mutual fund affiliated with their employer's 401k plan without having a clue about what they are being ask to decide. As we know, decisions like that can have real life implications on their financial future which is why I wrote this book. I want our young people to have positive retirement options rather than having to worry about how they are going to meet their daily expenses when they can no longer work. Informed investment decisions may lead to wonderful vacations and stress free days. I hope that you enjoy the book and please tell others about it too!!! Also, please write a review upon reading it.
