WEEK 18: THE STOCK EXCHANGE

Welcome to Week 18!

Today's session is dedicated to the Stock Exchange.

The aim of this session is to familiarize students with the Stock Exchange Markets and their most common financial practices.

In the course of this session, we will focus on:

  • how companies become publicly traded
  • what are the benefits for companies to trade on an exchange as opposed to being privately held
  • the various types of shares
  • investment practices (hostile vs. friendly)
  • what are the workings of the stock exchange market

By the end of this session, students will be able to:

  • expand their understanding of the concepts and vocabulary introduced in Week 17 (Mergers and Acquisitions)
  • develop reading and listening skills
  • be able to converse fluently using terms and concepts that pertain to the stock market.

Enjoy the session.
