Joint Stock Companies & Investing

Will Nash
Will Nash over 1 year ago

Hey everyone! 

Maybe some of you have time left before the year starts, but my inservice week started today, so it's getting real! My schedule changed a bit and I lost my finance class, but I still want to see if I can make connections in my 1200 course. Has anyone ever connected joint stock companies (British East India, Dutch VOC) to the modern stock market? I was thinking I could have students "adopt" different companies and make it a contest over the course of a month or so in November/December when we're on the topic to see who gains the most and do a reflection. 

Thoughts?

    Hi Will Nash I really like this idea! Would you let the students choose any company or are you providing them with a list? How exactly would you compare the joint stock companies to today's modern companies? I'm very intrigued by this and willing to bounce more ideas off once I get more of your vision for this but this sounds really cool!
