Happy Monday!  This week, we will try to figure out the basics of the Stock Market, so we can move on to Financial Crises next week.  

Your assignment will be to explain the basics of the Stock Market to a young friend.  There are two videos and a PDF explanation sheet that all break things down quite well.  Watch or read the explanations, then work on re-hashing the most important points in order to explain it clearly.  When you turn in the assignment, it could be in paragraph form, or in point form.
