For the last 5 weeks in Cal Careers, we have been doing a simulation with the stock market. The amount of money we started with was $5,000. We observed different companies’ stocks and decided which stocks we wanted to buy. After buying stocks from 6 different companies, we recorded the amount of money they made us that week.
