Do any of you guys have links to good sites to teach young people about the stock market -- I mean like how to invest, places to begin with small-cost stocks, etc.
My middle son has suddenly taken an interest in using his meager bank account to purchase a share or two here or there.
I know absolutely nothing about the stock market, and although I work with a bank, I hate to ask the trust/investment people here because they are busy with people that have real big money....

I'd suggest asking one of the friendlier, possibly family people - as you say, it is their craft and are probably going to be more receptive to the idea of someone's child taking an interest in the stock market.
Provided, of course, they don't think you're trying to pump them for free tips.
I look forward to the day when your son runs into room screaming: "Wow, people bought those tech stocks at THAT kind of p/e ratio? What the @&%!@ were they thinking?"

Actually, we have already kinda done the game where we pick "stocks" from the newspaper index listing, then follow them over a period of time and graph their increases/declines. I think that is what made him interested.
(but no, we didn't figure capital gains or anything)

While I give the republicans credit for cutting the capital gains tax, I know which republicans I'm giving the most credit to, the ones in the Senate.
And I maintain my general opposition to political parties as a means of determining voting choices.
