SYNOPSIS
When Susie Vaccaro Hardeman tried to open a brokerage account in a young neighbor's name as thanks for a favor, she was shocked that brokerages, bookstores, and libraries couldn't deliver a single primer for young students or anyone of any age, for that matter, who is interested in learning stock market basics. And so she spent the next year researching, interviewing, and talking with hundreds of people, compiling the fundamentals needed in order to make a foray onto Wall Street. In this colorful and easy-to-use guide, you'll find answers to questions such as What is liquidity? What determines the price of a stock? What is a day trader, and are there night traders? plus many, many more. With friendly illustrations lighting your way, you'll soon be navigating the world of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds with confidence and ease.
