Particular emphasis is given to three competing approaches to stock investment: fundamental analysis, technical analysis and efficient market analysis.

Also discussed are the distribution of stock to the public, the broker-client relationship, different types of orders investors can place with their broker, short-sales of stock, investment companies, margin accounts, speculation, and hedging. Stock and option valuation models will be discussed as well as the use of stock options in portfolio insurance strategies.
