Stock Market Project

In Language Arts class, while we were reading The Westing Game, there was a character named Turtle, who was a middle school girl that was interested in the stock market, and who was extremely good at “playing” the stock market. In honor of her, we were given 20,000 “dollars” to invest in up to 6 stocks. I only chose five, which you can see above. We didn’t have to hit exactly $20,000 spent, we just had to get close. I thought that T-Mobile would be good to invest in because so many people use it, but in the end I lost $42.72 from it. After that, I just invested in fairly expensive stocks that were green on the app. After this, I learned that just because a stock starts green, that doesn’t mean it will stay green. In the end of this project I lost $68.2. If this were real though, I would probably keep those stocks because just like green won’t stay green, red won’t stay red.
