This week in Economics class we began a stock market game.  I decided to invest in FedEx Toyota, Rock Star Gaming, and Apple electronics.  Right now I am slowly on the rise again.  I was once in 7th place and now I am in 13th place.  I’m not sure what exactly happened but if I did not sell Google my rank would probably be a lot worse than it is now.  This assignment has helped me to realize how quickly and how often the value of a stock changes.  This field does seem interesting and very exciting because these transactions affect millions of people throughout the world.

  2. I should have sold google. Anyway, I too think it is cool that so many people risk their money in the stock market.

  4. It is interesting to watch the stocks. I also invested in Apple stocks right after the iOS 7 came out, the stocks went up but just about two days later they went down, which surprised me. I wonder what the new iPhones will bring to Apple.

  5. The market does change fast and it can cause you to loose a lot of money and it can also be very hard to understand.

  7. Yea, it seems that I can make $100 just as fast as I can lose it. Whenever I start to rise up, I quickly fall back down.
