The world of investments

In 6 short chapters, readers will find a concise introduction to the world of investing.

He starts learning today.

Inspiring young minds to invest

Tamra Orr engages young readers with relevant themes and youthful expressions to capture their interest. She starts a conversation between two young students at school and shares, “Tim chuckled…I own part of McDonalds.” “You do not!” Sasha exclaimed. “…My grandmother bought me some shares in McDonalds for my birthday…”

By defining terms in simple language, Tamara informs young readers without boring them. This will also work for adults. As she explains what a stock is, she notes, “It’s a part of a business that other people can buy.”

Orr shares simple, practical tips that anyone can follow to help readers apply his principles. She focuses on investing in the stock market by suggesting, “If you don’t have the cash right now, you can still learn about the market. Pretend you do have the money, and then follow the market to see what would have happened.” ..”

Tamra has a great ability to focus on the aspects that attract the attention of young people. In one case, he focuses on the ability to vote on company matters, revealing: “Owning even a small part of a company can be exciting. vote…your vote.” it could eventually affect whether McDonald’s adds another chicken sandwich or a new flavor of cake.” This promises empowerment for children.

Children and adults will be educated and encouraged to start investing. Orr jokes: “It’s never too soon.”
