The Stock Market affects all of us every day - but
isn't it just for gamblers and rocket scientists...?
Now, more than ever, the Stock Market is making front-page news. The demise of once-great
companies, the astonishing recovery of the long forgotten fortunes made and lost in the
technology shares boom.
Maybe you have watched all of this from the sidelines, or passively through your
Pension/PEP/ISA and been intrigued to find out more. But the jargon of market makers,
brokers, dividends, contracts for difference, spread betting, day-trading has put you off.
This course is designed for those who want to find out more about how the stock market
works, and an overview of investing and trading. During the day you will learn about all
of the various financial instruments (shares/futures/currencies/contracts for
difference/spread-bets), different analysis approaches and the various sources of
information to individual investors.
