From the Film Archive, this New York Stock Exchange cartoon about the creation of shares and how the stock market works is a great introduction to stock market activities in the classroom. It is dated (made in 1952) and some of the technology, stereotypes, and cold-war propaganda are definitely 1950s, but the film is well done and provides an interesting introduction to publicly traded companies, Investment Banks, the SEC, brokers, and the New York Stock Exchange.
