When Susie Vaccaro Hardeman tried to open a brokerage account in a young neighbor'¬?s name as thanks for a favor, she was shocked that brokerages, bookstores, and libraries couldn'¬?t deliver a single primer for young students or anyone of any age, for that matter, who is interested in learning stock market basics.And so she spent the next year researching, interviewing, and talking with hundreds of people, compiling the fundamentals needed in order to make a foray onto Wall Street. In this colorful and easy-to-use guide, you '¬?ll find answers to questions such as What is liquidity? What determines the price of a stock? What is a day trader, and are there night traders? plus many, many more. With friendly illustrations lighting your way, you '¬?ll soon be navigating the world of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds with confidence and ease. An insightful, easy-to-use stock market guide for young adults, professionals, educators - people of all ages! Includes a brief history of Wall Street (including how it got its name), a list of good research websites, and instructions on how to read a newspaper stock listing. Also features fascinating stock market trivia.

This review is from: Stock Market Knowledge for All Ages: Answering Questions about Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Funds (Paperback)
Ever listen to stories on the news and think things like: What is the S&P? (I used to think it was Essen P.) What is a spread? Where did Wall Street get its name?This handy little book answers these and hundreds more questions about the stock market and how it works. Not an introductory business text, this is more a quickie reference guide that gives definitions to business phrases commonly heard on the news and in commercials. It is full of cute, colorful illustrations, but unfortunately they do not enhance the explanations of the concepts. If you are looking for help with financial education, you should check out nefe.org
