Description:

Just start investing. My first share purchase was in a broker's office whereas Kylie bought her first company based on a tip on Youtube. This is an indication of how the world has changed since the dark ages, and the opportunities and possibilities available to investors right now. It's also a lesson in NOT taking your investment tips from Youtube. It's also about women learning about how to get started.

"There are more men and young guys investing in the stock market than women. And it's been that way for a long time. But the trends do show that that's changing, which is a really good thing. The fact that you can buy and sell shares online now I think is a really big step. I think the rise of online broking platforms has been a really good thing for women just to get in there and get started. And start young. I think it has to start when you're younger, especially for women. I think as you start to get older family, becomes important, jobs become important. And it's just a lot of effort to get into share trading, and it can appear to be risky. And you've got other priorities at that point. So I think educating your kids, your daughters would be a really big step. And starting at school as well. You know, I know a lot of boys schools in Australia do teach you about the stock market. I don't know any girls schools that do that. That could be a really big start."
