TD Ameritrade Sees Record Demand for Investor Education

TD Ameritrade press release ------------ Three quarters (76%) of investors say the more educated they are about investing, the better they can manage their money, according to a new Financial Literacy Survey conducted for TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: AMTD). That number rises to 80 percent for Millennials. According to the survey, six in ten people (60%) said they wished they learned about money earlier in life. And 72 percent believe if investing was taught in school, Americans would be better about saving and investing properly. However, few people learned about the stock market and investing in school. A startling nine percent said they took a course in high school and seven percent in college. Of those who took a financial course in school, just half (51%) said their college course was effective and fewer than a third (28%) said the same for their high school course.
