I had hoped to put together the snapshots and video I managed to take at the Better Investing National Congress in Atlanta and post it here quickly. But I just couldn’t get it done as quickly as I wanted to. We got to spend one day there, almost totally devoted to working with the young people Ann McNeill, her incredible daughter, Ionnie, and their dedicated volunteers brought to the event. And it was a joy!

My son David and I tag-teamed a couple of presentations to the youngsters and came away with so much more than we gave! It was such a thrill to see kids of all ages truly interested in learning basic stock investing—how to save and invest for their futures! The parents of those kids, many of whom were there with them and just as eager to learn, have obviously done something very right!

I’ve got some impressive video showing these kids who, having formed temporary investment clubs at the event, stood up in front of the group and made presentations on the stocks they decided (hypothetically) to purchase and their reasons for doing so.

Click here to see a group picture. That nearly all of them were African-American was especially interesting! Couldn’t help but wonder why the “new minorities” were so conspicuously absent!

I’m going to get that stuff together and post it here as soon as I do.
