Understanding the Financial Markets

理解金融市场

As you might expect, many of the factors that play into economics have to do with the financial markets.

正如你可能想的一样，经济学中的很多要素都与金融市场有关。

This is also a complicated matter with many subtopics that you can dive into.

这也是个有很多子话题可供研究的复杂领域。

First and foremost, it's important to understand how prices are set in a market economy. At the heart of this is information and what is known as a contingent contract.

首先，有个很重要的点需要了解，那就是市场经济中的价格是如何确定的。这其中最核心的两个要素就是信息以及所谓的或有合约。

Essentially, this type of arrangement places stipulations on the price paid based on external factors: if X happens, then I'll pay this much.

从根源上讲，是这样的体系为价格的确定给出了规则，让我们得以根据外部因素来确定价格：如果某件特定的事发生，那我就会付这么多。

One question that many investors have is "What happens to my money when stock prices go down?"

很多投资者会问的一个问题是“当股价下跌的时候，我的钱去哪里了？”

The answer is not easy, and before you dive into the stock market, it's essential that you know how it works.
