You are a new economist for a major financial institution, and you've been invited to speak as a guest lecturer for a Freshman Finance course at the local university.

Respond to the following in several sections:

• Share how you would describe the overall purpose and mechanics of both primary and secondary markets.
• How would you explain the way the performance of your company is influenced by the activity of the markets you described?
• After your initial post, choose a classmate's approach that is different from the approach you'd take on the guest lecture. What additional information might you include in your lecture based on your classmate's approach?
