At age 18, William Cruz convinced his 16-year-old brother Ralph to invest their life savings, about $2,000, in the stock market. They lost every penny, Ralph told Futures magazine in a 2007 interview - but the lessons they learned about trading proved to be profitable over time. Today, the founders of trading software firm TradeStation each own more than $75 million in stock and options.
