Tom Gardner Speaking Topics

  • Finding Hidden Gems

  • Ready for the Real World? Foolish Advice for Students

    Who’s teaching our kids about money? Though our high school graduates enter a world where job searches, salaries, expenses and an extraordinary array of personal finance decisions—both dangerous and opportune—await, very few of this nation’s high schools or universities offers even basic lessons on saving, investing, or planning for the future. As educators, The Motley Fool co-founders feel there are some things young adults should know about investing and finance. Experienced speaking to both student and parent audiences, they have put together a humorous and engaging speech, based on their successful book, The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens. Some of the practical advice they’ll share: · Money equals opportunity · Every dollar spent is an investment · You don’t need to be rich to get into—or succeed at—investing · You have more money to invest than you think The Motley Fool will deliver the know-how young adults need to become more sophisticated investors, financial planners – and spenders.

Along the way, they put the financial world in its proper context, explain the at times confusing terminology of the financial world and give audiences the confidence and clarity to make good, sound investment choices.
