Stock Market Review
* Corporations sell shares of the company to the public.

Stocks are traded on a stock exchange such as the NYSE.
Stocks go up and down in value throughout the day, week, month, etc.
Why Do Stock Values Change?

* Dow Jones Industrial Average
o 30 blue chip companies
o Currently around 12000
* S&P 500

Common maxim:
* Own stocks (Dow) if you have a long-term time horizon.
* The stock market has averaged 10% yearly over the past 100 years.
* So if you own stocks, in the long run you will average 10% on your investment.
* Instead of the 5% or so a CD or the bank will pay.
