What Is The Stock Market

This lesson covers four objectives: what is the stock market, how does it work, what is a limit and stop order, and understanding Benjamin Graham’s Mr. Market. The lesson starts with the basics, explaining how the value of something is determined by what people are willing to buy and sell it for. The lesson goes on to discuss the role of buyers and sellers in the stock market, as well as the importance of understanding market orders, stop orders, and limit orders. Lastly, the lesson emphasizes the need to determine the actual value of a stock rather than getting caught up in the emotional swings of the market.
