Editorial Reviews:

From the personal-finance duo Fortune magazine called "funny, smart, cynical, opinionated" comes savvy financial advice for today's street-smart young investors.

The Motley Fool has made investing fun and easy for millions of people. Now, it custom designs its wit and wisdom for today's money-savvy teens.

The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens helps teens stand out from the ho-hum mutual-fund crowd, build a portfolio of stocks they can actually care about, and take advantage of the investor's best friend -- time -- to watch their profits multiply.

  • Strike a blow for financial independence. The Fool shows you how to:

  • Question authority when it comes to managing your money

  • Save cash (for investing, for college...and, yes, even for having fun!)

  • Dodge the spending and saving pitfalls that trap so many adults

  • Get started investing -- online and off -- with just a few dollars

  • Discover up-and-coming businesses that could become future blue chips

    Warning: this is not your parents' money guide! From identifying companies that are both cool and profitable to building a portfolio that makes tracking investments exciting, The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens shows young investors the way to financial freedom.

    This is an outstanding personal finance and investing primer for both teens and college students. Even though I'm just outside of the intended age bracket for this book (an expensive fact for which I am now painfully aware), any young person can gain tremendous insight from this well written and accessible guide to finances. It starts from the very beginning (opening a checking account) and moves right along into savings, money market accounts, CD's, IRA's, 401K's, mutual funds, etc... Without boring us to death, the authors break every step of investing down into must-know facts and advice. It also gives readers a eye for financial forecasting by focusing heavily on compound interest and what it *really* means for investors in the long run. Finally, it addresses debt (especially with regard to credit cards) and preaches financial solvency. I highly, highly recommend this one. It was outstanding and highly informational. I can't wait to read other Motley Fool investing guides!

    I bought this book for my younger brother whos starting off in investing and like always i read books before i recommend them so i read the "Moteley Fool Investment Guide FOR TEENS" and I was surprised as to how simple and easy they made it to read and learn. It's funny, it's clear, I wish I had seen this book when I started learning. And i dont even think that it ONLY is for teens. I believe that ANYBODY with a desire to learn investing and doesnt know much about it, can really use this book.

    This is a great book. Purchased it for my grandson and he has already stated reading it.

    I loved reading this book, it was a quick and easy read that really helped me to fully grasp the basics of investing. In the past I had picked up bits and pieces, this really put it all together for me.

    All I can say is, let the author's think they're cool with their slang that hasn't been used in ages and their rock lyrics, after all they are teaching us all one of the most important things we'll ever learn in life.

    I bought this for my 12 year old in addition to a cash gift for him to put away in the investment of his choice - hoping he could increase the cash for a method of transport when he's old enough to drive. Interesting enough, he read it in one day and started looking up investment items immediately. Secretly, I read it at night so I could keep up with his newly acquired knowledge. It's a good read and very informative.
