Reading this thread I have a feeling there are quite a few people that don't seem to understand the Stock Market.

Very sad. High Schools need to have a required class teaching kids more things. They force so many classes in High School yet they leave out the most important things. Like managing ones bank acccount/check book, doing ones taxes, taking care of your car, changing tires/oil/ect. How the stock market works, saving for retirement, paying bills, like phone bill, car insurance, credit card debt, ect. Basic money management.

There needs to be some sort of class that teaches kids what these things. They leave high school and are tossed into a world and have hundreds of bills and difficulties that knowing who the presidents are doesn't help one bit on.

Fully agree.

I had a course in college that did teach much of that (no car stuff though) but it was funny because I was already in my 30's and knew all of it but was thinking to myself the whole time how valuable this course would have been back in high school.
