3-0 out of 5 stars Very informative and easy to understand
This biography of Bill Gates had a lot of interesting facts about his entire life. It explained how he got started and how his company evolved. It also told about his family and his college years at Harvard. Many of his friends and associates are mentioned too. The book gave a little bit too much information at times but for the most part it was well-written. The author made Gates' work easy to understand even for someone who doesn't know much about computers. I believe this book would be great for a younger crowd to read but not for someone over 14 or 15. It is just on too low of a reading level. Since the book was written in 1997, it is somewhat outdated also. Other than that I liked the book a lot.

5-0 out of 5 stars A great book
[...] but the book was great. It had a lot of interesting info.

4-0 out of 5 stars A great book for young readers
I enjoyed this book, but would most likely not reccomend it to anyone over the age of ten or eleven. It was interesting but was published in 1997, therefore it is not 100% up to date.

Book Description

This book takes a very simple concept on investing and helps explain it in a story about two children. It is intended for children and teenagers aged 10 - 16, but also is a book that adults, who have not started investing, can use to easily understand concepts about investing. The basic premise of the book is that a child investing only ten dollars a month in mutual funds can create wealth of about a million dollars over their lifetime, due to the length of time the money is invested. Thus, only $6,000 may turn into a million dollars if certain kinds of investments are chosen. The book is intended as an educational source for both children and adults. Children and adults can learn that if they start investing early and regularly they can create significant wealth over their lifetimes. If children learn this lesson early they will develop good money habits and be investors throughout their lifetime. This book would be a great gift to a child to help them start to learn how to invest, which will be something that will stay with them for the rest of their lives and hopefully help them be financially independent.

The boy in the story is a child with an attitude. He loves ice cream, watching 'Star Trek' and basketball, and watching his money grow. The story talks about why and how to invest in mutual funds, but also leaves the message that there are many more important things in life besides money. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars We really liked this book!
We are sisters, 9 and 11 years old. Mom and Dad have always tried to get us to save money but we weren't very good at it. Mom gave us this book for Christmas and we really liked it. It makes sense and tells us why and how to save money in a way that we can understand. Thank you Ted and Lora Lea for a cool book.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Great Start
There have been many books, pamphlets, brochures and people try to convince of the value of buying RRSP's. However, this book is the first to lay it out in an understandable and fun way .... and this is now my first year for buying RRSP's.

It was a great Christmas present to receive!

Thanks to the authours! ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars From a teacher...
An interesting look at American storefronts and markets. It explains products sold and the roles of shopkeepers, but the visuals aren't what I had wished. Some recent pictures of people dressed up as store owners and shoppers. I'd also wished it discussed more about economics in the 18th and 19th century. I will use it occasionally as a reference item, but I have found more interesting formats. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Offers a wealth of invaluable information
Early To Rise: A Young Adult's Guide To Investing And Financial Decisions That Can Shape Your Life by Michael Stahl is a solid and thoroughly "reader friendly" guide to investing and personal financial matters written especially for young adults. From the basics of mutual funds, to investment clubs, stocks and bonds, getting to know the market, using personal youth as an investment advantage, and more, Early To Rise offers a wealth of invaluable information and practical investment wisdom for teens and young adults determined to make their money work for them.

3-0 out of 5 stars Teen's View
The book, Early To Rise, by Michael Stahl kept my attention for most of the 200 plus page. I believe that having the author's viewpoint definitely helps show how teenagers truly can make money in the stock market. The book also seems geared towards teenagers, which is good for people who don't know anything about the stock market. For me, however, it seemed to repeat multiple facts I already knew.
While the book seems to start off with new and interesting ideas, it lost my attention as I read on. I enjoyed reading about the author's own financial endeavors. They seemed to motivate me to want to begin investing in my own stock. I think it was motivational because the author's excitement for investing shines through each of his personal stories. The downside to some of these stories is that some are repeated multiple times. While I find it extremely interesting that he began investing when he was 10, I don't feel that he needs to repeat this four times. This aspect only makes me feel like I should have been investing when I was 10. Stahl not only repeats his own personal stories, but he also repeats aspects of economics. Repeating definitions five to eight times doesn't seem necessary. This repetition is what made the book boring to me.
One really good aspect of the book is the investment club chapter. While I don't feel I could start an investment club, I think it's great that he's spreading the word about them and that he gives wonderful instructions on how to start one. The example documents in the book truly display how one can begin an investment club. Another great part is that he informs us of multiple places to find information about economics, the stock market, etc. These web sites and books would come in handy for any investor, not just the new ones.
These few good aspects are enough for me to recommend the book. I feel, however, that new investors would benefit from it the most.

5-0 out of 5 stars An ideal instruction manual and "how to" reference
Michael Stahl's Early To Rise is an ideal instruction manual and "how to" reference for young adults seeking to make sound financial decisions and investments leading to what ever version of the good life they have for now and for the future. Stahl covers stocks in terms of what they are and how to use them to preserve and create wealth, using youth to advantage when making investments, what the stock markets are and how they operate, the role and advantages of mutual funds, investment clubs, and more. Highly recommended reading for teens and young adults with an eye to their economic futures and financial well-being, Early To Rise is enhanced with a series of informative appendices include a sample stock worksheet, resources on the Internet, useful books, helpful hints, a glossary, and an index.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Any Investor Looking to Get Started!
As soon as I picked up the book and started on the first chapter, I was drawn into it and never put the book down. It's fairly easy reading and everything is put clearly. His tid bits of humor make the book even more enjoyable. I have followed his simple advice and, as a college student, am saving my earned money and using it more wisely. Thanks, ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Basic, but helpful
This book is great for teens between the ages of 15 to 18, or for those who are still in highschool. It gives great advice on how to save money and the basics of investing. I'm 19 and this book was a bit helpful but told me most things which I already knew about, like how not to fall into credit debt etc. ... Read more

When prehistoric tribes first accumulated surplus food and other materials, they began to trade with one another. Eventually, coins, and then paper money, made it easier to keep track of the exchange of goods and services between tribes and nations. Land and sea trade routes, the industrial revolution, mass production, and today, the Internet, helped spread trade and commerce throughout the world. ... Read more
