If a little child can do it?

If a little child can do it?

Apple went public in 1980, and several times throughout Apple’s history, people where ringing the death knell of the most valuable company in history to date. This story that I am about to tell you though is not about Apple, it is about a father trying to teach his son, how to get a piece of the pie, pun intended, specifically about buying and selling stocks, or to put it another way buying and selling companies and corporations, and making a profit. I am going to show you exactly what that father showed his son. I am confident that after you hear this story, you too, will want to teach your child about stocks. More important, it is my hope that you feel more confident about this subject yourself, because if you hit a tenbagger, you and your family will never have to worry about money again, in a manner of speaking, I am talking financial freedom here.

December 12, 1980, one share of Apple stock AAPL‎ was worth $2.75, which grew to $396.75 in August 2011, and now has grown to $649.79 as of October 16, 2012. Many investors are wishing  with much regret that they did not grab a firm hold of this stock on December 12, 1980, and many times afterward.

Our story takes place around July 2006, a Father with little means, sat down with his 9 year old son to discuss with him what he was going to do with his savings. The son had saved a little over a hundred dollars, and wanted very much to spend it on the latest toy. Of course the father, did not agree with his son, about the choice the son had made. Not wanting to force his own opinions on his son, hoping the son could come to his own conclusion, the father suggested maybe he should, buy some shares of a popular stock. The father had spoken on many occasions about stocks, shares, publicly traded companies, wallsreet and the likes, to his son. To the fathers dismay, the son did not want anything to do with stocks, the son had stated, that he did not want to lose his money in the market. His statement was not without merit, because the father had lost money in the market a couple of times. Not giving up, the father sat down several more times, with his son, and he began to show the son really how the stock market works.

Jonathan he said, how many game boy advances could you buy if you owned the company? The boy spoke up and said as many as I want. How many gameboy’s can you buy, if you spend your money right now? Again Jonathan spoke up, only one. Now Jonathan was clever, and he knew where his dad was going with the converstaion. So without missing a beat, Jonathan said, dad I do not own the company that makes gameboy’s, and I really want one. Son I will make a deal with you, instead of buying the gameboy, if you spend just a little time researching stocks with me, I will let you get the gameboy.

The next couple of months they looked at stocks. They look at three in particular, Microsoft, Apple, and Sony. If you buy this stock right now, at this price and sell it at this price, you can imagine how the conversation went. They tracked those three stocks until November 2006, but the son could not wait any longer, he wanted his gameboy advance. Dad you promised, and I have waited a long time, please can I get my gameboy advance. True to his word, that dad braved black Friday at Walmart to buy his son a gameboy advance.
