Video: Stock Markets in Plain English
By leelefever on September 02, 2009 - 1:20pm
Today we've published a new video: Stock Markets in Plain English
This video is one of our most requested and focuses on a few basic ideas:
- Why companies offer their stock to the public
- Why people buy and sell stocks
- What makes stock prices change
- How we measure stock markets using indices
This video is part of our Money series and one of the first to touch on markets. It was also one of the toughest to make. Economic forces like supply and demand can quickly turn into rabbit holes. Keeping it short and sweet was a challenge. We're so excited to share it with the world.
We expect this video to be useful to teachers, but also organizations related to investing, particularly ones focused on educating those new to the market.
nice one!
Very excellent description of a complicated topic. I like the building analogy . . . works really well.
One glaring ommission
People also buy shares for the dividend income. In fact for lots of buyers that is the prime motivation. OK, adding in dividend income might have made it more complex but by omitting it this explanation is over-simplified
You are a genius :)
