I’m a new subscriber to your blog Fitz and I’m impressed. It’s just what I need to educate myself further on financial matters.

On this topic: if I’m not mistaken, I think there’s a House Bill proposing to include a lesson on stock markets in the high school curriculum. I agree wholeheartedly. I hope our legislators act fast and approve the bill.

I’ll be reading more of your blogs. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Lubbit! Thanks for sharing this, Fitz.

I was first introduced to stock market when I was in grade school, my uncle would always read the morning paper and he would patiently explain to me the stock market table and how I might be able to gain mooor moonies in the future. But it really didnt get my attention, not until I have read Farnoosh Torabi’s You’re So Money last May.

And now, I am looking for a mentor to get me onboarded. =) I am so ready to invest but the whole stock market thing is really big Im scared it might eat me alive LOL

I was really waiting for this Part 2 before leaving a comment.

Of all the statements you wrote above, it is about the education of students that I like the most. And I am glad you mentioned that.

I truly believe people should learn how to make money as young as possible. Unofortunately in school, we are being motivated to be employees.

Right now, I am doing my best to teach my children how money flows.

Another good explanation Fitz! To add more, the minimum number of shares that needs to be bought is is what they “board lot”. However, if it does not met it (i.e. an “odd number of shares”), you can still sell it provided that the stock broker can match your orders.

Ultimately, the general market rule applies to stock market and that is BUY LOW and SELL HIGH.

In addition, stock market investors especially young ones should look for “stock market burst” as an opportunity to buy price-beaten yet value stocks.
