It’s never too early to start on a financial advisor career
I just read a great story about a group of fifth grade kids who finished first in the Wisconsin Stock Market Simulation game. The article is titled “Neenah fifth-graders double their money” - here’s an excerpt that gives the key points:
“They invested $100,000 of hypothetical money and turned it into $200,626 during the 10-week contest sponsored by Economics Wisconsin.
The gain was tops among the 2,400 teams — many made up of high schoolers — and earned them an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City and a visit to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in March.”
Wow - these kids doubled their money, beat out 2,399 other teams, many of whom were a lot older, and won a great trip to New York as well.
I know I’m way past fifth grade and imagine most of you reading this are, too, so there may not be an immediate lesson we can apply here, but a great story, nonetheless.
