STOCK MARKET
TRADING FLOOR CLUB
Welcome to the '"Pit," where participants will dive deeper into stock investing. Participants will explore the PROs and CONs between a Day Trader (does not hold their trades overnight), Swing Trader (holds on to trades for several days to several weeks), and a Position Trader (holds for several weeks, months, or even years). Our #Trading Floor Club focuses on Dividend Portfolios, and introduction to REITs (real estate investment trusts), specifically Retail REITS, such as Simon Malls. Participants are engulfed in Trading Floor Investing Challenges that will require them to collaborate, be decisive, make strategic decisions, and decipher whether real estate investment trusts are safe.
