Investing is the best thing teenagers can do to build long-term wealth and become financially free. Learning the art of trading stock is very important, and the younger the better! This book covers everything a teen will need to know to have success in the stock market as well as provides an intro to personal budgeting, saving, and making money.
Teen investors have powerful advantages over the rest of us. Many are whizzes at financial research on the Internet. They’re quick to master online stock trading. According to an August 2000 Wall Street Journal article, today more young Americans own investments than ever before, with 35 percent of eighth through twelfth graders owning stock or bonds, usually in a parent’s name, while about one-fifth own mutual funds. 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. Street Wise provides exactly what they want.

Do you dream of being rich one day? And just how do you expect to get to rich status? With a high paying job, you get after college? Well...good luck with that. You'll be lucky to be able to barely pay your bills and student loans. What you should do if you truly want to be rich one day is learn to invest. Specifically, you should learn stock market investing. The majority of rich people in the U.S. own stocks. Why? Because the rich know the game. They realize stocks are the number one way to generate wealth passively over time. Stocks have made people into millionaires for years! But here's what's unfortunate for the U.S.'s economy: Most of these people have been and continue to be White. Did you know that only 62% of Black and 57% of Hispanic middle-class families (families earning between $41,000 - $122,000) own any stock? In comparison, 86% of White middle-class families own stock. If you go below the middle-class, the stats are even worse for minority families. It's no secret then, that if you want to improve your chances of getting rich and out of poverty, you must invest in stocks! In his latest book, C. Osvaldo Gomez, a.k.a., Homie G, teaches young people of color and their White friend allies all about stocks and the market. Like a Beginner's Guide to Stocks, Gomez breaks down the nuances of the stock market, how and why stocks fall in price, focusing on the preservation of your money, and explains how the government helps stock market investors get even richer. Unlike other books on stock market investing, this book is entertaining. The stories and examples relate to teenagers and young adults, but people of all ages will enjoy how easily the information flows and see how useful it is. The exercises at the end of each chapter lets readers apply what they learn.These days you don't have to be rich to start investing. There are apps that let you invest as little as $5. So, don't make excuses. Start learning today. Go ahead, take a Look inside, and when you're done, scroll back up and click that Buy button!
