Investing in Stocks

In Language Arts, we read The Westing Game. In The Westing Game, there is a character named Turtle Wexler. Turtle really enjoys investing in stocks, so we decided to join in on the fun and invest in stocks! Well, sort of. We were given $20,000 FAKE dollars and we invested in six stocks. The stocks I invested in were Home Depot, Disney, Target, Nike, Amazon, and Starbucks. The stock that made the most for me was Home Depot, but other than that my stocks really sucked. My final profit at the end was $-964.43. At the beginning, we had the math specialist at our school come and help us set up a stocks spreadsheet and give us more details about the stock market. In the end, this was a fun assignment and I might invest in actual stocks. Thank you for reading!
