Before we begin todays assignment, we need to have a discussion about classroom etiquette and what my expectations are for the rest of this school year.

Before we begin, take a moment to check your "Stock Portfolio" at the Virtual Stock Exchange.

Today we will be taking a closer look at investing principles and making your money work for you.
