This ends the stock market tutorial
Leaving this tutorial, you should be able to:
- understand the stock market's function for both owners and investors,
- understand what drives prices up and down,
- recognize and apply the concepts of Earnings Per Share (EPS), Price/Earnings Ratio (P/E), and factoring growth in the valuation of a company.
If you are unsure about these things, don't be afraid to go back to the beginning...we won't tell.
There are also numerous web sites devoted to educating investors on a number of issues. But one of the best ways to learn is also the most fun - sign up to participate in your own simulation at simCEO.org. Put your business and investing skills to the test!
So now that you've got it figured out, get out there!
Good luck.
