Investing Fundamentals: Shaping Your Financial Future

Everyone has heard of the stock market, but not everyone understands how it works. What is a “bull” or “bear” market? How does anyone make money through investing?

Gain an understanding of what it takes to stay afloat in a turbulent market, how to choose investments wisely, and how world events and other factors play a part in investment strategy. Participate in a stock market exercise in which you and your classmates choose investments based upon the factors discussed in class and then follow those picks throughout the week between sessions.
