  11. WHERE DO STOCKS COME FROM?? A company has a new product that tests show will be ‘THE NEXT BEST THING”!!!! BUT………….. They need money to produce and market it. SO……………. They borrow from other people who believe that the product will do well

  12. The company provides a certificate to show that the people have invested in the company. The certificate is called a stock or a share and the people are called stockholders or shareholders. Stockholders are entitled to a percentage of the profits according to their investment. They run the risk of losing their money if the company does not do well.

  13. If the company does well, the demand goes ….. UP If the company does not do well, the demand goes…. DOWN

  14. WHAT ARE COMMODITIES? OIL and GOLD are considered commodities (goods). They can be bought and sold just like stocks. They are also represented by paper certificates.

  15. BOOM (BULL MARKET)-A period of time during which investor confidence and trading volume is high. CRASH (BEAR MARKET)-A period of time during which investor confidence and trading volume is low. STOCK SECTORS-Specific portions of a market that share similar characteristics TRANSACTION CAP-Limit that an investor is willing to pay for a stock. (Also, limit of shares that may be purchased or sold.) LIMITED PORTFOLIO-Less than 4 different investment targets, usually in 1 sector - can be risky MIXED PORTFOLIO-Range of investment targets covering several sectors - lower risk USEFUL DEFINTIONS

  16. FORMING YOUR BROKERAGE FIRM • THE NAME OF YOUR BROKERAGE FIRM (What impression does it give?) • THE LOGO OF YOUR FIRM (Visual impact) • THE SLOGAN (What does it say about you?) • COSTUME IDEAS (Make your look unique/Detail) • OFFICE EQUIPMENT (Who will bring what items/be organized) • BUSINESS CARDS (Design/who will make them) • COMPANY DESK SIGN (“Flange”.Capture the firm’s message) • CALCULATOR (Who brings it)

  17. FOUR SIMPLE GUIDELINES TO CHOOSING GOOD PARTNERS • Good partners can offer suggestions and listen to yours • Good partners can work well with you or alone if you are away from the desk doing the buying and selling • Good partners are willing to take turns and do a fair share of the work • Good partners are hoping to mix the fun and the work for a GREAT DAY!!

  18. Good Partners Mean Good Business
