Question 1:What are Stocks and Bonds? Describe how you could estimate their values. If you are investing in the stock market, which would you invest in and why?

Question 2:For your second post, select a stock in which you are interested. Calculate its per share value using the DDM or another method discussed in Chapter 9. Then, find the current market value of a share of the stock. Compare the two. Can you explain the similarity or difference?

Question 3:For your next post, do some research, probably on the Web, and find some bonds with differing yields to maturity (YTM). How do you explain the difference? Both the lecture and the textbook discuss some factors that may lead to this difference.
