TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is sitting at the breakfast table drinking chocolate milk and reading the stock market pages in the newspaper.
NEXT ROW
INSIDE – KITCHEN. RAYNE puts the newspaper down.
RAYNE
How does the sock market work?
DAD
It’s based on the premise of letting people buy bits of companies.
DAD continues.
DAD
If the company does well, the value of the stock goes up.
DAD
From there, it’s all about supply and demand.
And continues.
DAD
If more people buy a stock, the price goes up.
DAD
If people start selling that stock off, price down.
RAYNE nods, asking a question.
RAYNE
Can you buy them in pairs?
DAD
You set the quantity based on what you’re willing to risk-
DAD sighs, realizing what RAYNE said.
DAD
And I just realized what you said.
RAYNE
Basically, can I go to a store and buy one sock?
