Stock Investing For Teens (A Tale of Markets, Buying Stocks, and Why Not Panic-Sell)

Kofi had saved $150. He wanted more. Mia had $180 saved. She wanted pickles that grew into more pickles. Lin had $1,500 in savings. She wanted her car to come faster. Investing sounded like grown-ups’ stuff with suits, Wall Street, and yelling on phones.

But Lin’s uncle was a normal person who invested. He taught the three friends that investing is about lending your money to companies so they can grow and you grow with them.

The three friends tried a stock market simulation game. Kofi bought a video game stock that later crashed. Mia invested in a pickle company that soared (for one day). Lin bought a boring utility stock that slowly, steadily climbed in price.

Through wins, losses, and one emotional graph, the three learned that investing is not gambling. It is patience, research, and not panicking when the price goes down. This storybook is perfect for teens who want to learn about how to invest money they have earned from chores at home.

Ages 12-15.
