Economics, Coins, and that lawsuit..

GoldCoinLover

After having Ecnomics for my new charater school I go to, I've decided I really like it. I never knew it was so tied in with math.

I still do not understand what a stockshare is, or the NASDAQ, (up 15%? Not sure what that means..), seems part of the stockmarket where people invest?

I see alot of talking about economics and numismatists here all the time on this forum. And I wanted to ask how was that lawsuit going from the notorious coin company ACG? (What was it, Accugrade? They also grade baseball cards, etc.)

I'm kind of stuck in the class because I have to write a 2 page essay about some major influencal Economist, and I gotta research that and write the paper before I move on...

I decided to research Greenspan.

please dont delete this thread.

Just bide your time, I'm sure the teacher will explain how the stock market works and what the NASDAQ is in good order, likely after a basic foundation in economic priciples. You'll find plenty of reading material on Greenspan, and in the process of your research, you'll likely learn a good deal about those underlining economic principles, keep it simple though, don't try to elaborate too much on a subject you don't have a good knowledge base built up in.

As for the thread being deleted, you never have to worry about that providing that you leave your drama at the door, as you did in this post.

As for "the lawsuit", as someone who has never been party to one, you do not obviously know that it is not something that one would discuss in a public forum, nor should one discuss it privately except in a priviliged conversation with his/her attorney present. Those of us who are not involved will learn when the lawsuit gets dismissed ( ), which will hopefully be sooner rather than later.

Edited to add: If you want to learn about the stock market, "One Up on Wall Street" is a very readable and enjoyable introductory book written by legendary investor, Peter Lynch. Most libraries have a copy. Good luck.

Well, you see.. I'm in a charter school. It's a "Go at your own pace school." There are only 300 or so kids. So the teacher doesn't "teach" unless you ask a question. Only about 20 or less kids in the class. I go to one of these now.

So the lessons are on the computer. Anyway, this is a coin forum afterall.

If your teacher doesn't 'teach' unless you 'ask', then ask your teacher all the questions which you asked us

If you haven't gone beyond the deciding stage on who to research you might want to take a glance at Nash...both his life and his contributions to Economics. I should try to say something about numismatic auction behavior and his theories now but I just know I would mangle it...any math wizards in the house want to step in here?
