So how is that investing for the future coming along? What, you’re confused? I understand. Most of us are total novices. Unfortunately, what do we do? We let others make our decisions for us, thinking they are so much smarter because they are “professionals” or TV commentators.

Recently, I was drawn to a book—mostly because our grandson Sam is a newly minted second grader—that was simple to read, easy to understand, and quite charming. In “How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street: Golden Rules Any Investor Can Learn” by Allan S. Roth, we follow the story of Kevin Roth, the author’s 8-year-old son, to discover exactly how simple it can be to become a successful investor.
