Ethics of Stock

Insider trading, stock manipulation, short-selling, green companies, companies who use child-labor, companies who produce goods that you find offensive---all of these can be part of a discussion about the ethics of stock market investing. In five-hundred words or two pages, discuss one aspect of the ethics of stock market investing that matters to you.

You may choose to talk about a well-known figure who has been convicted of insider trading, or someone who has been convicted of stock market manipulation, or you could look up information about ethical investing based on your religious background. While the Internet is a great place to start, you may want to visit the library and have a research librarian help you find some scholarly journal articles.

Be sure to properly cite all sources. You should have 2-3 references as part of your discussion.
