Finance

Follow the market. See which stocks go up and which ones go down. For every company that you study in class, request a financial statement from their head office. Read it, look at it and study it. Read the notes in the back, this is where you find all of the best information. Visit their websites and get an idea of how they present themselves and how they view their online efforts.

Find out how each term relates to one another and why stock prices move. Apply the theories to your own personal financial situation, no matter how simple it may be.

The single most important variable in finance is understanding what the cost of capital is and how it relates to a company's value. Since a company's market value is the present value of all future earning power, students can solve this number by dividing the purest form of income by a certain cost of capital. Research the study on Economic Value Added by the brain trust at Stern Stewart & Co. and you will see what makes companies winners and investors rich.
