The GDP is defined as according to Investopedia.com as “the total monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country’s borders in a specific time period.” The GDP of a country is normally calculated on an annual basis but it is not uncommon to have quarterly figures as well.

”Hi Roger, I must say that I think I learn more from you in the trading room than the online classes. In fact, you are so informative I sometimes can’t take notes quick enough. I know you said it is not part of your job but really I appreciate it. And you are doing good. It’s how I like things, very practical.“
