The Prince George's County chapter sponsors a youth investment club called the Future Moneymakers. Since the formation of the partnership nearly three years ago, our youths have improved their knowledge of investment principles, acquired a sizeable portfolio and received national attention. The youth, ages eight through college, contribute $10 per month from their allowance, which is pooled to purchase stocks. The club portfolio includes ownership in Microsoft, Intel, CISCO, UPS, Home Depot, Jones Apparel, General Electric, Federal Express, and Nokia. The club has been featured in Black Enterprise, the Wall Street Journal and Better Investing Magazine. The group has also taken field trips to the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Board.
