Investment Options for Teens

Students interested in investing and longer-term financial planning will find this volume invaluable. Grounded on the realistic idea that teens could earn money doing chores, babysitting, or getting a part-time job, the book describes various avenues for investing. From savings accounts to CDs, education savings accounts, bonds, and stocks, this title discusses their value for the investor without a great deal of capital. It also provides decision-making and risk-analysis tools for the beginning investor. For example, the book suggests lessening risk by investing in a stable company that has steadily grown over many years. “Investor Trivia” text boxes provide more useful tips, and full-color photographs and diagrams add interest. Back matter includes a summary of investment options, a list of texts and Web sites for further reading, a bibliography, a glossary, and an index.
