Market Watch Project Report

On May 17th, 2017 I bought one hundred Canadian Tire stocks for the price of $152.59 per stock. When I bought this stock I thought that it would be profitable because we were nearing warmer weather. It was beginning

Over the past ten weeks a group of students and I participated in the Wisconsin Stock Market Simulation. We started with one hundred thousand dollars to invest over the course of ten weeks. It was our job to determine the stocks we purchased, the amount that we spent, and the strategy to use to approach the stock market.

For the past month we have been doing a stock market competition. The winner of that competition gets bonus marks. Going into this simulation for the first time not knowing that much about it I felt like it was going to be hard and I may not finish where I would have to liked to. But since the competition started I felt more comfortable and got the hang of it. I planned to invest in companies that I think would do good in the future. My first two investments were in Tesla and google. I invested in these companies because I felt like these two companies would make me money. The result from looking at them the day the simulation ends I believe these two stocks really helped me in trying to place in first. Some of my market moves were good

For the How the Market Works stock trading game, I tried to play strategically in a sense where I would look at which stocks were down and up. Additionally, I bought the main 4 stocks of the technology sector, for they have been going up for a while now. I would only buy stocks when they were down because they cost less money, and would try to sell them when they were up. Day trading was a big aspect of my game plan, but it was impossible to day trade at all hours of the day, so I bought the safe tech stocks to insure that my portfolio would always be going up. Some of my top picks were Netflix and Alibaba, which made the most money. Sadly, Alibaba went up 16%, roughly 2.5k, the day following the close of the game. I am familiar with these companies, a thing Warren Buffet said is necessary to buy, and their year to date is up. Also, I noticed that there is usually a morning spike in stocks and a daily fall in the end of the day. So, it was necessary to sell and buy several times throughout the day. I know this because my dad has been investing in the stock market for several years and gave

The lowest Dow Jones dipped lower than 16,000. My strategy worked pretty well in the beginning, I then decided to diversify my portfolio, which kept me in a rut and I wasn’t able to gain or lose any money. I learned that the stock market is very tough, it takes a lot of work to be successful. You have to research and dig deep for companies that are successful and unknown. I consulted with my mom, who is a stockbroker and she said that Eagle Pharmaceuticals has been performing very well. I bought a couple shares and it earned me a lot of money. We have the news on constantly in my house, I started to pay more attention to what companies are coming out with new products, the weather, new studies by pharmaceutical companies. The superbowl was also a great way for me to find a company that had a funny commercial or a sale going on. I also learned that diversification is not helpful, it doesn’t lose money, but it doesn’t give you any money either. If I didn’t diversificate I probably would’ve advanced and earned more money. Entering the stock market was a great learning experience and I am happy that it was just a simulation because in the real world I would be very stressed out if I went a net worth from $100,000 to

The first stock that surprisingly exceeded my expectations was team. After the second week started, Instead of investing in knowledgeable and consistent stocks I decided to alter my strategy of continuing to invest in consistent stocks but also investing in stocks that people high up on the market watch leaderboard were investing in. At the time, I was very hesitant about investing in risky stocks because prior to investing in team I had just lost approximately $18,000 from a stock called ATV. However after much consideration I made the decision to invest in Team at $28.15 and ended up selling it at $29.97. This drastic change in value was caused by a new software release called “bit bucket”, which allows people to Collaborate on code and build and ship

The stock game was the hardest game I have ever played in. With so many things on the line such as grades, competition, and making money, I have made lots of mistakes on the way but also learned a lot of good lessons about investing and business. During the explanation before the game started, I thought it was really easy to buy, sell, short and cover stocks. However, when reality was set, there were so many choices to make from what company to buy, how much to buy, and determine the right time to sell or buy the stock. I lost about 300 dollars from my 10,000 dollars portfolio. That

I didn't always make good money with the stock market and I wish looking back on it now that an experienced trader passed on their wisdom. So, I've decided to do this for you.

Before the Stock Game began, we chose to put forth $60,000, which was 60% of our $100,000, towards the Apple Stock. We were led to believe from research that Apple would have the utmost success out of the two stocks so we chose to allocate more of our funds towards them. On October 4, 2016, the Apple stock opened at 113.00. By dividing our $60,000 investment by the 113.00 opening price we were able to purchase 530 shares of the Apple stock. By multiplying our 530 shares by the opening price, we were able to calculate that we spent $59,890 of our total $60,000 investment. The closing price of the Apple stock on November 1, 2016 was 111.49 meaning

Some of the other stocks that I owned at different times in the stock market game was AT&T, Verizon, Disney, Mcdonald’s, Nikes, and Home Depot. I made the decision to get rid of these stocks because they were having me to lose more money then I was gaining from them. At the end of having these stocks I losted more money then what I bought them for.
