Your boss has developed the following questions that you must use to explain the U$.$S$.$ financial system to Varga.

a$.$ What are the three primary ways in which capital is transferred between savers and borrowers? Describe each one.

While in the waiting room of your office, she overheard an analyst on a financial TV network say that a particular medical research company just received FDA approval for one of its products. On the basis of this "hot" information, Michelle wants to buy many shares of that company's stock. Assuming the stock market is highly efficient, what advice would you give her?
