XPOSURE'S P.S 81 STOCK MARKET BOOT CAMP



By Sage Barbuto

Recently in Xposure, we have started to learn about the stock market through Mr. Thomas’s Xposure Stock Market boot camp. In this boot camp, we studied different companies and learned about what they do and how much they make.

We have learned how to explore websites like www.cnbc.com to find out a number of things. For example, how much a company makes, the industry they are involved with, the market cap and closing price. We discovered what the ticker symbol was and who the CEO's are for these companies.
