Re "But instead he was peppered with questions about a market âcontrolled by big rich people,â âcrookedâ Goldman Sachs and an investing environment thatâs ânot fairâ for retail investors. It would be nice to hear any of the intelligent children taken the other side of their own comments. Just as an exercise. I'd like to hear who the "big rich people' are. And last but not least describe "fair". Kids may be intelligent but are a far cry from thinking for themselves, to think for themselves is "learned".
Why are people even replying to the OP? I think he's joking. Because seriously, what DOES a 7th grader know about finance. Shit all. Just like the thread-starter. I've seen articles about 12 year olds returning 50% in 2009 and then the author went on to praise the kid. The teacher who actually believed the kid was a finance wiz is just as dumb as you are. Who cares what a 7th grader thinks!!!!!!!!!!!! Why am I even arguing this issue with you!
