Traditionally, stock market
games required you to be a financial brain to play them. But kids know instinctively
when to buy, sell or
hold when it comes to playing Wall Street Spin,® a new game for ages 10 to
Adult. If you
don't know a "put" from a "call" watch your
10 year old take
in the market.
1. “Play” the market without risk!.
You may
have a day trader living in your home. To kids money is a game, spending,
a pleasure. Taking your
salary too seriously?
For God's sake, it's just money. Watch your child delight in the process of
winning and
losing, then winning again. What goes up must
come down. It's all a cycle. Finish up and go get yourself an \
ice-cream.
2. Invest outrageously.
Go ahead,
live a little. Kids are natural risk takers. They see something they like
and go after it. "Most of us
second guess ourselves
all the time," says founder Donald Deitch. "Kids go with their gut
when they believe
in something. And mostly they do well—way
better than adults."
3.
Learn math.
Don't
get caught up with Einsteinian equations. The unique Spin mechanism on Wall
Street Spin,® simulates
ups and downs of the
market-- but without complex math. You don't even need to have passed Trigonometry
to
get your hands on gold. No calculators necessary.
4. Manage your money.
At first
kids couldn't tell ten-thousand dollars from ten dollars—but they soon learned
once their pockets were
empty. How many times
have adults seen stocks as "funny money" and lost their sense of
the value of it?
You'll regain your sense of what it means to live on an
allowance.
5. What's yours is mine.
Kids love
to acquire. The more toys the better. But instead of vying for the latest
gizmo they're scoping out your
skyscraper. Are you
possessive? You'll need to keep a close eye on your assets. Gives new meaning
to the
word "share."
6. Be fully present.
When they're
fascinated kids focus single-mindedly on a purpose. If you take a mental vacation
you'll likely
miss out on collecting
Dividends/Growth when another players lands on your property. That player
spins for
a varying price to pay, so prices are not static.
What's here now can be gone with the snap of a finger—or back
again.
