Have you ever wondered why the stock market is called a market? A market is a place where products are bought & sold.Have you ever wondered why the stock market is called a market? A market is a place where products are bought & sold. The stock market is where people buy and sell one type of product.The stock market is where people buy and sell one type of product. That unique product is shares of ownership in a company, which are also known as stocks.That unique product is shares of ownership in a company, which are also known as stocks. Potential investors get to choose from many companies that sell a variety of goods, from clothing to medicines to sports equipment to toys.Potential investors get to choose from many companies that sell a variety of goods, from clothing to medicines to sports equipment to toys. When people buy and sell stock, it's called trading.When people buy and sell stock, it's called trading.

When a person buys stock in a company, that person becomes a shareholder or stockholder in that company. A shareholder is also called an investor in the company. When that company makes money the value of the company's stock often increases. That's because more people may become interested in investing in the company. Sometimes, shareholders receive a dividend, which is part of the company's earned income in the form of a cash payment.

Some people try to make money by buying and selling stocks. Stock prices can move up and down. Shareholders may make money or lose money by selling stocks that they own, depending on whether the price has gone up or down since they bought their shares. A company's stock price may be affected by outside conditions.

Let's say that ABD Enterprises is a software company that has introduced a new video game into the market. If that game is a hit, sales of the video game could boost the company's earnings. Because of the potential for ABD Enterprises to grow, its stock may be viewed as an attractive investment and its stock price may go up as more people buy shares. On the other hand, let's say the video game is a flop. Or, it could be a good game, but ABD introduced it at a time when unemployment rates were high & people started spending less on leisure products. The result is no one buys the game, and it's reported that ABD is losing money because of this new product. The stock price for ABD Enterprises may go down if a number of shareholders decide to sell their shares.

Most of the following stock companies existed in the 1920’s. Some became successful, other failed. Let’s read the following prospectus carefully & decide which stocks you wish to purchase. In the game there will be 7 price changes between 1920 & 1929, when the game ends. Student brokers have been selected & they will buy or sell stock to you as new stock prices are posted. You will each be given $500 to invest. The game begins in 1920 with each share of stock selling at $10 a share. Stocks will only be sold in 10 share blocks or at the beginning price of $100 a certificate. You may buy or sell your stock at any time at the listed price, except when the market is closed to post new stock prices.

A newly established regional food processing company. It has canneries in five of our major West Coast cities & deals basically in fruit & tomato products. It has recently offered shares to the public & it has been listed on the market for just one week. Market experts view this entry as rather risky or speculative and are unwilling to venture any opinions on investment opportunities with Kroger Foods. At present Kroger Foods hopes to purchase five other regional food processors. If successful, Kroger Foods could be an excellent money maker with national markets. Of course, food industries always depend on agricultural prosperity and good crops; the year may be questionable. A good crop and successful merger could make many stockholders very wealthy.

This company has long been considered one of the better buys in the field of electronics. This corporation seems to have a bright future. Market experts see this corporation as a good, long term investment, which is safe & provides security for its stockholders. In the past year it has made a small gain & could continue to grow slowly. The future of Radio Corporation will depend on its new production models & if they are competitively priced.

Owned and operated by Harry Sinclair. Mammoth has oil leases in Elk Hills in California. The newly opened fields, which geologists feel may be the largest oil field in the United States, has 25 producing wells at the present time. Sinclair is rumored to have the backing of influential government employees. Mammoth has borrowed large sums of money to explore for oil in California & Wyoming & to develop Elk Hills. Secretary of the Interior Fall is reported to be a large stockholder. Sinclair’s company has not paid dividends in the past 5 years of operation. The value of Mammoth Oil stock has fluctuated between 20 cents & 5 dollars a share for the past two years.

This bank is one of the oldest, wealthiest, & most conservative financial houses in the country. The owner is proud of saying that his bank still operates on the same principles first established by Alexander Hamilton in This stock is so stable that when it once dropped two points in a week, back in 1893, it set off a small-scale recession. This bank has paid an annual dividend for 130 years.

This corporation was founded by a well-to-do carriage maker in Flint, Michigan. Durant took over several undercapitalized companies & brought together 12 auto producers, including Oakland Motors. Rapid expansion has left the company badly undercapitalized. Management fears that Durant Motors may be taken over by the banks. The company is attempting to produce a low cost car & has hired Charles “Boss” Kettering to manage a number of plants. Kettering plans to produce a car with a “self-starter.” Durant Motors presently produces the Locomobile, the Durant- Four, and the Flint. His long range plans are to develop a giant combination of automobile manufacturers, at this time investment in Durant Motors is risky due to a lack of capital.

Owned & operated by financial genius Samuel Insull. Midland is part of a billion-dollar corporation operating in 32 states. Several of the most powerful banks & brokerage houses of the Midwest are regarded as his puppets. Midland produces electricity for central Chicago & is expanding into the suburbs. Midland has developed & is using giant steam turbines to generate power. Insull’s financial manipulation & the mass marketing of stock has made Midland one of the most powerful corporations in the Midwest.

The K & P has been in existence for over 60 years. Their assets are many & diversified. In the past they have shown to be a stable company with small but regular dividends. While many railroads are faced with declining profits, the K & P shows a steady increase. They are presently expanding into the Southwest & plan to extend their holdings into Mexico.

This telephone company is just being capitalized. This is their first public offering of stock. They presently plan to raise 12 million dollars & manufacture a dial-telephone. This process reportedly will revolutionize the use of the telephone. Their management is young & inexperienced. Any capital invested should be considered high risk. But currently, their stock is one of the hottest on the exchange. It has tripled in value since it was placed on the market less than two months ago.

The collapse of the New York Stock Market triggered the Great Depression. On October 24, 1929 millions of shares of stock were dumped on the market. Within a week American investors lost over $40 billion. As people rushed to cash in all their savings over 9,000 banks closed & many people lost their entire savings.

The Depression was not limited to the USA. It affected almost every economy in the world. The country with the biggest debt, Germany, was plunged into a deep financial crisis. One in three Germans workers were unemployed. In this atmosphere of economic uncertainty, many people were attracted to extremist political groups. These groups included Fascists, Nazis, & Communists which offered radical solutions.
