Inspiring young minds to invest
Tamra Orr engages young readers with relevant topics and youthful expressions, to spark their interest. She starts a conversation between two young students at school, sharing, “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 work for adults too. While explaining what a stock is, he says, “It’s a part of a business that other people can buy.”
Orr shares simple, practical tips anyone can follow to help readers apply his principles. She focuses on investing in the stock market suggesting, “If you don’t have the cash right now, you can still learn about the market. Pretend you have the money and then follow the market to see what would have happened. ..”
Tamra has a great ability to focus on things that attract the attention of young people. In one case, he focuses on the ability to vote on company problems, revealing: “Owning a small part of a company can be exciting. In many companies, owning a single share is enough to buy you voting rights. … your vote could eventually affect whether McDonald’s adds another chicken sandwich or a new cake flavor. ” This promises empowerment to children.
Children and adults will be educated and encouraged to start investing. Orr jokes: “It’s never too early.”
