In 1987, John T. Bart, then a Professor of Finance at the University of Windsor, founded the ShareOwner organization (“ShareOwner”). Its mission is to strengthen the stock market literacy of Canadians by educating current (and would-be) investors about a public company's set of seven fundamentals. As well, investors are provided with an easily-affordable stock market experience to try-out what they have learned.

Acknowledgements
The course's fundamentals-based education draws significantly from:
(1) The DuPont Model of profitability analysis formulated by the giant chemical company during the 1920s.
(2) The stock selection methodology pioneered in the 1940s for the emerging investment club movement in the U.S. and now used as well by investors in Asia, Brazil, Canada and Europe.

As well, thousands of investors use the service for low-cost portfolio building.
Stock Market Literacy Challenges
In 2007, ShareOwner applied its dollar-based trading technology to increasing stock market literacy by sponsoring Canada’s first real-money stock market literacy challenge.
Contestants used $1,000 of their money to buy and sell stocks during an 11-month tournament.
In 2008, ShareOwner sponsored a second such challenge for university and college students. |
