Buy it for your kids as a starter or means of getting them involved in the world of investing.

This review is from: Buying Stocks is Child's Play (Paperback)
In Buying Stocks Is Child's Play, author Sandra McWhorter draws upon her thirty years of experience of teaching investment principles and practices in small group settings to create an easy-to-read, articulate and intelligible primer to the stock market. It's divided into three parts. Part I covers the history of Wall Street and step-by-step instructions to begin investing; part II is about the histories of the most established and famous stocks such as those of McDonald's and Coca-Cola; and part III is filled with definitions, web site addresses and suggested readings for advanced study. Very highly recommended for the non-specialist general reader with little or no previous experience with the stock market, the information in McWhorter's Buying Stocks Is Child's Play must be carefully read through before making the decision to invest sizeable fortunes in a fluctuating market!
