Students will be encouraged to bring current event topics they would like to discuss to class.

Each week we will explore the latest headlines -  positive and negative company specific news and  economic events. Positive news will normally cause investors to buy stocks. Examples include a good earnings reports, an announcement of a new product, a corporate acquisition. All this buying of stock will  mean an increase in stock prices.

Negative news, like a defective product recall or a lawsuit against a company, that may cause investors to worry and sell their stock, resulting in the stock priced going down.

And sometimes, Bad News Is Good News!  What??? Bad news for some companies is good news for others. For example, news that a hurricane has made landfall may cause the stocks of power companies to take a hit in anticipation of costly emergency responses and repairs. But stocks of  building supply companies may go up for the same reason.  

This course will help students engage with the world around them and help them make sense of current events.

Club Prerequisite: NOT required but it is helpful if students have taken my beginner stock market investment course OR have some prior experience with stock market investing.
