We all know Apple is a great company – is it time to buy the stock?
Join our Investment Club and watch your own portfolio grow! This six-week program is designed to allow middle school students to “invest” cash in a portfolio of stocks and monitor their performance. Each week we will discuss the high points of investing, beginning with what is a stock and why do companies seek capital, followed by what to consider when making an investment, how does the market work, how does the economy affect investments, and ending with how to determine if your investment decisions were good ones. This program will offer participants a chance to ask questions and offer ideas. May you all enjoy great returns!
