We are launching the [Economics Camp for Teens, The Power of One Week of Stocks] project.


As the subtitle suggests, [Economic Camp for Teens, The Power of One Stock Week], this book is a stock investment guidebook for teens.
These days, many teenagers, including those in upper elementary school, are showing great interest in stock investment.
Unfortunately, there aren't many places that provide proper information about stock investment.
Even in school, they don't even cover stocks.
This book was created to reflect this reality.
The author of this book, Choi Moo-yeon, is a teacher who teaches students at school, so he knows better than anyone what students want.
The teacher actually observed the students' stock investments for a long time.
With extensive experience, I explain what students want and need to know about stock investment in an easy, fun, and informative way, tailored to their level.


This book is designed to help young people become friends with stocks.
If you read this book, you will be able to easily understand difficult stock terminology and get a feel for how to invest in stocks.
This book will help you chew, tear, taste, and enjoy stocks.


As the title suggests, [Economics Camp for Teens, The Power of One Stock Week] suggests ways for teenagers to gain interest in the economy and not just see the superficial aspects of stock investment, but to properly understand stock investment and become healthy investors, ultimately achieving financial freedom.
If you're thinking about investing in stocks, start now.
Your future will be different in 10 years.

Among the words referring to money, the word '資' is also used a lot.
However, when '資' is included, it often refers to not only money but also all property including money.
It is used in a much broader sense than money.
Wealth is not necessarily money, but anything that can be converted into money.
Anything that has value, such as a house or land, but is not money, can be considered property.

If your friend told you they needed 1 million won to open a chicken restaurant, would you lend them money? Or would you invest? If you were offered such a thing, you'd probably judge it based on the future of the chicken restaurant.
If I think the chicken restaurant will do well, I'll invest in it, but if not, I'll just lend it out.
The value that will be obtained in the future at this time is called 'future value'.
The same goes for stock investing.
When you buy stocks, you are investing in a company with a high future value.

First is the KOSPI market.
KOSPI is like a department store.
Department stores mainly sell high-end products.
If you go into a department store and do business, you will have to pay a lot of tax.
And not just anyone can sell things at a department store.
You will have to pass many conditions and strict screening required by the department store.
So, famous brands and large companies open stores in department stores and sell their products.
KOSPI is a stock market that is like a department store.
It is mainly composed of large corporations.
As you all know, representative Korean companies such as Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor Company, LG Electronics, Naver, and Kakao are listed on KOSPI.

One of the ways a company can raise funds is through a 'paid-in capital increase'.
Heungbune Express Transportation Co., Ltd. has been operating well since being listed on the stock market and has achieved good performance.
But as time passed, the transportation environment began to change.
That's when the automobile appeared.
Heungbune Fast Transport Co., Ltd. used to transport goods by horse-drawn carriage, but with the advent of automobiles, its competitiveness was lost.
It cannot be said that Heungbu-ne Co., Ltd. is in a crisis due to its fast transportation.
Heungbune Express Transportation Co., Ltd. has decided to adapt to this serious change.
Now we decided to do transportation business with cars instead of horse-drawn carriages.

If you could travel to the future in a time machine, what would you bring back? While that's impossible in reality, there's a scene in the movie where the protagonist, having traveled to the future, brings back a book with stock prices.
If you could predict future stock prices like the main character in the movie, it would be a huge success.
In fact, any stock investor would want to know the future stock price.
It's not just a thought; many experts are actually making various efforts to predict future stock prices.
The technical analysis I'm about to introduce is a stock price prediction technique that was born from these efforts.

If you go to the supermarket, you've probably seen several different types of snacks bundled together and sold as one package.
Sometimes we bundle similar types of sweets, and sometimes we bundle different types of sweets.
I like that they are sold in bundles like this so I can try different types of snacks.
In the stock market, there are also bundled products that allow you to buy and sell the stocks of several companies as a bundle, just like this bundled product.
This is called an 'exchange-traded fund', or ETF in English.

Now that your investment objective is clear, you need to select a company that fits that objective.
Since your investment goal is to live a comfortable retirement 50 years from now, your investment should be in stocks that you can invest in for a long period of time.
It would be good if it was a stock that could provide steady profits for at least 10 years, or even 40 years or more.
Which companies should I invest in to make a profit over this long term?
