The Lemon Fool

Can anyone recommend a book that would help a 14 year old decide where to invest his money. Not talking vast inheritance just an introduction to choosing where to invest.

Might not exactly help them decide where to invest but this is very good at giving a basic understanding of how it all works.

Lars Kroijer has made several short YouTube videos which might be a good starting point, perhaps more accessible than a book.

The Motley Fool investment guide for teens
Teen Investing
The early investor
These are few good books you can give your child to read

Thanks for suggestions. I'll check them out.

I also agree with TodtheDog,

If you google Lars Krojer and watch his Investing Demystified videos, they are very good.
I also like his interview with "This is Money"

Good luck. On Spotify, I very often come across Jasper Carrot's stand-up comedy shows, and he talks all about teenagers. Exaggerated of course, but very funny. If you really have a 14-year old interested in serious investing for the future, then I suggest you have his DNA checked out.

They are among us. From a planet far away. Remember John Wyndham's 'Midwich Cuckoos', made into a film?

Don't turn your back for a second!

PS On a more serious note, get the idea of diversification firmly embedded, then all the various asset classes. Unless they have changed, Halifax Sharebuilder has no annual fees and you can invest very small amounts.
