What Is The Stock Market?

A practical, realistic look at the stock market—its history, fundamentals, how it works, and what it means to participate as a shareholder. This workshop is designed for beginners and breaks down the stock market in a clear, approachable way. You’ll learn how to recognize a ticker symbol, understand what it represents, and build a basic foundation for following companies and navigating the market with more confidence.
