What is the biggest regret of most investors?
That they didn’t start sooner!

If you’re a teenager and wondering whether or not you have what it takes to be a successful investor, stop wondering. StreetWiseTeen.com– and my book, Street Wise: A Guide for Teen Investors is dedicated to helping you learn more about the stock market and giving you the tools you need to start investing. You have a huge, built-in advantage over your parents and other adults. You have TIME. If you make an early start, over time your small, regular investments can grow beyond what you thought possible.

You’re never too young to understand investing. Don’t get scared off by all the complications people dream up for discussing, dissecting and analyzing the stock market. The great thing about investing is that you can start slowly, bit by bit, and get more deeply involved as you learn more.

There’s no better time than now to get started learning. This Web site will show you how much fun it can be. My book will help you even more. Check out the Book Contents (click on button left) to find out more about the book. Browse through the other sections to learn more about other teen investing topics.

If you’re already a reader of StreetWise, take a stroll through this site and check back regularly. The world of stocks and investments changes daily and I’ll be updating information about teens and investing on a weekly basis.

 

"A very thorough, clear introduction to the market for young people, with plenty of examples to keep them reading and lots of useful information to get them started there are lots of sidebars, tables, little inserts with factoids, and other kid-centric’ gimmicks to make the book more appealing to the young."

"Street Wise" is that rare manifestation of a straightforward investing primer that manages to stay fun while dispensing sound advice. Don’t hesitate to buy this book as a gift for the holiday season if you’ve been looking for the right way to help one of the younger generation begin his or her journey."

"Generation Next is ready to take on the world of economics Street Wise is a guide for young teens who are ready to get their future started now."
— Right On ! magazine- Feb. 2001

"Don’t let the title of this sophisticated and well-written investing book put you off. It doesn’t try to be trendy; stock discussions range far beyond video game and fast-food companies, Nor does it employ "teen speak" to pander to its target audience of high-school students. Most adults, in fact, will learn more by reading Street Wise than by picking up the majority of so-called adult investing primers. It’s full of good advice and actually fun to read."
