Investing In Stocks

This course explains how stocks work and how to use them as part of an investment plan. Basic stock analysis, fundamentals, and technical factors will be covered first. We will learn to research stocks through publications and the Internet. We will put stocks within the context of the marketplace and watch their dynamic behavior. Because the market changes, we will need to develop investment strategies that start with setting goals, evaluating risk tolerance, and allocating stocks within a portfolio of investments. With these strategies in place, we will learn the various methods of buying and selling stocks from full-service brokerages to online investing. 16 hours (Textbook required)
