Warren Buffett - The Secret Millionaire's Club
Warren Buffett has been busy ! He has been working on a series of cartoons called the Secret Millionaire's Club which have been produced for AOL by 'A Squared Entertainment'. Each of the cartoons in the series lasts around 5 minutes and the series is designed to teach children (and adults) the wisdom of intelligent long-term investing in stocks and shares and the necessity of understanding money and finance. It's a pity that schools don't teach that already of course.
Warren Buffett is a firm believer in the fact that the lessons you learn about money in childhood stay with you for the rest of your life, so it is important to learn good lessons early !
In the new cartoon series “an animated Warren Buffett is a mentor to a group of kids who have adventures in business and learn financial lessons along the way.”
Buffett said : “What better time to help educate our kids about financial responsibility. Andy Heyward and I have a longstanding relationship, and I am excited to introduce a series that is as fun as it is informative.” He came up with the title The Secret Millionaire's Club himself. Andy Heyward, who has previously produced movies for Berkshire Hathway's annual meetings said : “If you are going to teach somebody, a kid, about financial literacy, who could be better than Warren Buffett?”
A Squared Inc. will create the segments, and MGX Lab LLC a marketing company based in New York, will add activities and games to support the content. The webisodes will also be made available on the web and marketed using the power of social networking.
Let us hope that Warren Buffett and the Secret Millionaire's Club cartoon series will succeed where schools have singularly failed. When kids leave school, no matter what qualifications they end up or don't end up with as the case may be, they will all be confronted with the same problem of how to manage their money, as they will be new to the stock market they will need advice on how to buy stocks for beginners and hopefully how to stay out of debt.
