Trading in Financial Securities is a unique course taught from a practical standpoint versus a theoretical one.

 

The course offers a comprehensive understanding of trading in all global financial markets. A realistic and updated view of the design, operation and regulation of securities trading is presented. Professor Elkins focuses on what trading was to what it has become. The mysterious inner workings are explored from professional domination of markets using electronics to the regulatory attempts to even the playing field and why many believe that securities markets have become great gambling casinos. Headline grabbing subjects like trading on inside information, market manipulation, high frequency trading (HFT), electronic trading, dark  pools, regulatory oversight, and many more subjects are thoroughly addressed as well as the basic foundation necessary to understand how trading works in all the different security markets globally.

 

This course of study transitions seamlessly from teaching classes to companies and their executives/boards looking to gain the knowledge  necessary to understand security markets and how they impact their respective situations.
