to the Crews Stock Market
Handbook. These
 web pages and resources are designed to
help my students earn their Stock Broker License and then in turn apply for a
business license to create their own investment company. From the lecture
in class to the Brain Pops and articles online, there are more than enough
resources to answer the questions on the exam.Please note that the Stock Market Movie can only be viewed at Crews since I only have one copy. The article should answer all the questions found on the Stock Broker Exam. It will be a 25 question T/F multiple choice test. You can also be prepared by playing the game on the left of this screen called "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". It is a great way to test your knowledge of the stock market. While you are waiting to take the exam you can be working hard to get your
business license completed. You will need to work with your partner to get
a business name, motto (slogan), and address. Once you do this, you can
proceed to creating your
business card for your company. Once this is
complete we will work hard to begin researching company stocks and picking the
best stocks.
Our e-trading system that we will use at Crews is called
StocksQuest (Watch
the tutorial at school or Watch it at
HOME on how to register for a StocksQuest account). This
simulation software is CREWS NEWS RELEASE
