A "great idea"? LMAO!!!
Encourage kids to make the worst possible type of "investment": a money-losing penny stock that relies for its survival on selling TENS OF MILLIONS of DISCOUNTED shares every few months.
A stock that has plummeted more than 90% over the last few years?
One that has racked up $55,000,000.00 in losses with no end in sight?
A better lesson would be to encourage them to buy one share of a *real* company,who makes a *real* product, who trades on a *real* stock exchange, and who earns a *real* profit.
Good grief...
I honestly think that most children would be too savvy to fall for this scam.
