Read the market the way you read a constitution.
Students analyze balance sheets, market reports, and capital rules with the same clause-by-clause discipline a lawyer brings to a contract. No shortcuts. No slogans.
Consequence by consequence.
Students don't skim earnings reports — they annotate them. Every line item is a claim. Every ratio is an argument. We teach the habit of asking what a number actually obligates.
Small groups read real market data, flag contradictions, and build written cases for or against a position. The work product is a documented argument, not a gut feeling.
Every decision argued, every position documented.
Simulated Portfolio
Argued, Not Assumed
Finance as Civic Knowledge
Capital flows are governed by rules. Students examine who controls resources, who is excluded, and what the legal structures say — connecting markets to constitutional questions.
No trade passes without a written brief. Students must defend their thesis to the group, cite their data sources, and account for counterarguments before any move is logged.
Students manage a simulated portfolio using live market data. Positions are taken, tracked, and reviewed against stated reasoning each week.
