who provides vivid, colorful glimpses between the world we know and
worlds we can only imagine.
In a peaceful, prosperous African
American neighborhood in Los Angeles, Mack Street is a mystery child
who has somehow found a home. Discovered abandoned in an overgrown
park, raised by a blunt-speaking single woman, Mack comes and goes from
family to family–a boy who is at once surrounded by boisterous
characters and deeply alone. But while Mack senses that he is different
from most, and knows that he has strange powers, he cannot possibly
understand how unusual he is until the day he sees, in a thin slice of
space, a narrow house. Beyond it is a backyard–and an entryway into an
extraordinary world stretching off into an exotic distance of
geography, history, and magic.
A great book to establish an understanding for how the current investment strategies came about. Petere Bernstein did a great job of introducing mathematical masterminds such as Louis Bachelier; the inventor of stochastic analysis concepts, the birth of Dow Jones, the creation of S&P 500 index by Alfred Cowles, Portfolio Selection by Harry Markowitz and many other financial and statistical intellects.

Kids are growing up in a world where financial smarts are must. More and more of us are investing in the stock market and controlling our own retirement funds. We finance our homes, cars and education. Just as we teach our young children the basics in so many areas – eating right, the alphabet, games – so too does it make sense to give them the tools that can lead to good financial habits and leadership and life skills.
In the speсial issue, we’ve broken down financial education into 10 essential building blocks – preschooler-style – to help give your child the tools he or she will need to copmpete and succeed in the world. We hope you enyoj these activities as you play with and teach your young child – with a little help from Sesame Street friends. The time spent may pay off down the road in many different ways. You can bank on it!
