As I explained in our last video, over the course of the next few weeks I’m going to be sharing a free course in effective money education. We are going to start by looking at the main kinds of investments or “asset classes”: Shares, cash, fixed-income securities, property and commodities.
Today we begin with one of the very biggest and most important of those asset classes:
SHARES – otherwise known as “the stock industry” or – to use a slightly more technical term – “equities”.
Perhaps the best way for us to grasp the idea of “shares” at a fundamental level is to have a quick look at how and why they came about historically. This is a good jumping off point and our focus in today’s video…
We look at why stock markets developed and what they have given our species since they came about.
I believe that understanding this context is a really important first step on the road to getting involved with stock industry capital.
