Society allowed me to graduate with degrees in science and engineering without knowing the difference between a stock and a bond, and yet the same society gives me complete control over my retirement investments. Luckily, investing is not very difficult to figure out on your own. I read the book "Investing for Dummies" and I thought it did a great job at teaching basic ideas, and basic ideas are enough for the majority of people. If society expects us to manage our own investments, then it should also equip us with the tools to do it effectively. It should be a required topic at the high school level.
