Understanding finance begins by reading reputable articles in newspapers/magazines such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Forbes, Fortune, US News and World Report, Seeking Alpha, and other web based resources.

Find an article that interests you and discusses and write 3 paragraphs. Your format should be:

1. INTRODUCTION: Briefly introduce the article (author, date) and the major financial topic it attempts to address (bankruptcy, merger, financial crisis, financial literacy, a specific company). You may wish to find articles on securities (or ETFs or Mutual Funds or Bonds that reputable managers are recommending for purchase or a company that is intending to go public).
2. MAJOR TAKEAWAYS: Discuss the 3-5 points the article made about the financial topic.
3. CONCLUSION: What did you learn about finance and did the article address the question it posed. Include APA CITATION at the end of your post.
