#MyInvestingStory is created to share the stories of individual investors.
Ann McNeill, a BetterInvesting Volunteer, talks with Ionnie McNeill, the Baby Billionaire, about her investing story.
Featured in magazines such as Black Enterprise, Seventeen, and Better Investing since high school, Ionnie McNeill is also known as The Baby Billionaire because of her future net worth of millions. At age 7, Ionnie began learning how to invest and by age 10 already had a portfolio invested in stocks and bonds. As a freshman in high school, Ionnie started her own business and was awarded 1st place in the Guardian’s Girls Going Places Entrepreneurship Award Program. Currently, she is traveling the country sharing her TIPS on Successful Investing with thousands of ambitious students and young adults, who want to make a difference in their lives and their financial future.
"First, let's start with who we are not, and what we don't do. We are not "day traders." We are not professional investment advisers, stockbrokers, or bond traders. We don't deal with penny stocks. We don't teach buying on Margin (using borrowed money). We don't teach Technical Analysis or Charting. We don't teach Options trading. We don't get paid for what we do, and we don't earn commissions, referrals, or kickbacks. Our official name is the National Association of Investors Corporation (NAIC). We are a non-profit, volunteer driven, educational organization founded in 1951 by a small group of individual investors looking for a better way. Several years ago we adopted the trade name BetterInvesting (www.betterinvesting.org)."
