Chapter summary
This chapter examines Training The Young to Save, using the author’s early-twentieth-century investment framework to explain how investors were expected to judge security quality, income, risk, and market conditions. It opens from the chapter’s own discussion: Nowadays we realize as never before the great importance of bending the sapling as we want the tree to grow; when we know that even very young children are greatly susceptible to special training. Therefore start teaching children saving at the age of 3 or 4 years.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter as historical investment education. The market rules, disclosure practices, securities, commissions, interest-rate conditions, and investor protections around saving, Training, Young may differ sharply from modern markets.
