60 Minutes

1. What is your opinion? And why? My opinion is that all of this is dumb. I dont understand why they should get to do something that is illegal to the public. They are people just like us and should not get special treatment just because of who they are.
2. What can you do about your opinion? And how can you make it count? As a teenager I can do nothing more than voice my opinion to others. It will only count to my peers and parents no one else.
3. What is insider trading? What was the information that caused Martha Stewart to go to prison? Insider trading is the trading of stocks using information that is not availible to the generally public. She was sentenced to five months in prison for insider trading. Her stock broker gave her some insider information about a company that she had more than 4,000 shares in. She sold mostly all of them to avoid losing alot of money.
4. What is Black Friday and when did it get its name? What is Cyber Monday? The day's name originated in Philidelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term started before 1966. Cyber Monday is just like black friday but all of the sales are online instead of being in the stores.
