When Should Kids Begin Trading?
A reader emailed me the other day with a simple question: Would I ever encourage my kids to trade? Katherine and Diana are only 9 and 11, so the question is probably premature, but it does eventually beg an answer. Therefore, I'll devote Wednesday's column to a thorough discussion of this topic, but until then, I'd be interested in your views. In short, should my kids (or yours, for that matter) start trading? And if so, at what age? I'd welcome your views, and only ask that you keep your answers succinct! Along with my column, I'll publish the best of those submitted.
Other thoughts, questions, commentary? You know where I live: technicalforum@thestreet.com. And, if you can bear to part with it, your full name is most appreciated.
Oh yeah, and one other thing: Long Course Season starts today, and my kids are back in the pool! (My kids RULE during long course, where only the strong survive!) (P.S. This is total BS, but it sounds good...)
