A book with good intentions but crashed on the runway.:

I thought it was a millionaire success story but found out it is another challenge that the kids took on to play the stocks first with monopoly money. Most people who learn the stock market play a computerized version with fake money before they learn how. There are programs you can buy people if you are interested. I'm not sure where they get the idea that they are teaching something new but they are happy with the book and so I will pass mine along to someone else.
It will get lost on your bookshelf... more info

Primitive Offerring!:

I bought the book to help a cause but it is not top shelf reading. It is not a horrible attempt for a group of youngsters. Kind of like selling Mom's lemonade when you were 11 years old. I have mixed opinion right now about sharing it with some of the youngsters I know. It might be adequate and inspiring reading for them. If you want to help a cause, buy the book, if you want to give a youngster a book that will motivate them, put the cost toward buying "Winners Never Cheat".

Pulling Weeds to Picking Stock:

I felt there were many practical suggestions for handling life and its problems. This would be a very good book for young people starting at about the 6th grade and review it every few years to reaffirm what they learned previously. A lot that was given was good common sense. I would suggest it for any age.

Pulling Weeds:

I was a little disappointed that the book did not clearly state if the boys were "millionaires" or not. I can find find very little biographical history of the boys. Are they real?
