This one-week day camp for high school students has four components: financial literacy, investing, hedging, and trading. Financial literacy includes the basics of personal finance, including planning, taxes, debt avoidance, and wealth building. The investing portion introduces the learner to investing strategies that have worked over time. In the hedging module, participants will be introduced to derivative securities and how those securities have been used for speculation or protection. Finally, the trading portion introduces the mechanics of trading stocks, bonds, and other securities. The high schoolers will learn how to read charts, how to place market or limit orders, how to set up stop losses, and how the major markets operate, and will spend the week constructing and analyzing their own portfolios using state-of-the-art analysis and trading tools.
