Problem:
Take a good look at the bank you use, not from the point of view of a customer but from the point of view of a potential investor. Consider both the development of 'money' from coins and notes to checks to credit cards to electronic transfer of funds, present and future interest rates, possible developments on the 'inflation front' and then consider whether 'your bank' would be worth owning shares in?
Do some research on your bank using the Internet and the CyberLibrary, and write a short paper that put it all together in making a recommendation on whether or not you think one should buy shares in your bank as part of your own investment portfolio.
