SEC has announced a new head of investor education, Kathleen M. Floyd, former exec director of the Stock Market Game. More here.
The Stock Market Game helps student math scores!! No kidding. See their info sheet here.
It should be interesting to see what kind of ideas she brings to the task. Investor ed, after all, is one of the most important areas right now. FDIC recently announced that financial literacy and underserved markets are back on the table too. Should be interesting times for educators.
This is the game that pre-college kids play. An interesting note from the article: a little knowledge can be dangerous, because research has found that those who have a little more experience with investments are MORE LIKELY to get scammed.
Who'da thunkit?
