LLBUS 208 - Introduction to Trading and Investing

Designed to provide insight into financial markets and the opportunities they present, this course will help you identify your "market personality", the first step in becoming a successful investor and trader. We will look at the world of market psychology -- the most important factor in successfully navigating the markets effectively. We will then move into fundamental and technical analysis -- helping you to efficiently monitor the real news and data that affect the markets (HINT: NOT CRAMER!!) At the end of class, you will know how to create a trading plan for each and every entry into the market you undertake. We will also touch on 'next steps', such as options and foreign currencies.
