The Stock Market at Work

Abstract

The topic that I chose to write about is the Workings of the Stock Market. In this paper I layout and describe the different stock markets and how each one of them works, how each one of them is measured, and the requirements that companies must meet in order to be traded in a certain market. I go on to discuss how one invests in each market. What steps need to be taken before a person can invest. And finally how an investor should choose stocks. I add to the discussion of how an investor should choose stocks by presenting my portfolio, that I chose during my internship. I discussed why I chose the stocks and how they performed overall. I drew conclusions from my research and what I learned from my portfolio, what methods I should use and what ones I should avoid.
