He didn’t get it right, but Jeremy Herrmann won anyway because grown-up judges were so enchanted by the 6-year-old’s logic.
Jeremy collected a special $1,000 prize Friday from an essay contest sponsored by the Nasdaq Stock Market. The subject: “What Stock Markets Mean to America.”
The boy from Pepper Pike, Ohio, wrote: “I asked my Dad what a stock market is. He said I need to know about stocks and bombs.
“I know what a bomb is. I don’t know what a stock is. But a stock market must be better than a bomb market.”
The contest judges liked that so much they created a “Nasdaq Peace Prize.”
Altogether, 25 youngsters won $1,000 prizes in the contest.
