        Trading Lab such as Morningstar Direct, Bloomberg and StockTrak and use these tools for 
        analytical and decision-making purposes. 
        Most, if not all of you, must be wondering about the direction of the stock market, bond market, 
        housing market, and the U.S. dollar. There would be ample opportunities in this class to discuss 
        these topics in an analytical framework. In the real world of decision-making there may not be 
        yes/no answers – rather the answers may depend on contingencies. Hence, class participation 
        is essential in this class. The relevant current topics and controversies will be discussed. Hence, 
        you are required to read the chapter and any additional assigned reading before coming to 
        class. Additionally, you are required to read some business magazines, newspapers or 
        business news websites to keep yourself updated about the current events in the business 
        world and relate theory to practice. Some of the recommended websites are:

                  Course Description (from the catalog):  This course provides a study of the major financial 
                  institutions and the role that major institutional investors serve in the current financial system.

                  integrate a series of finance and economics principles that explore the connection between 
                  financial markets, financial institutions and the economy. My goal is to provide you with an 
                  understanding of important concepts through experiential learning. There will be lot of online 
                  quizzes, in-class assignments, simulations, and an extensive project. You will be expected to 
                  build on the concepts that you have already learned in your prerequisite courses. There will be 
                  extensive use of trading lab software such as Morningstar, Bloomberg etc.
