Stock Market Contest
Disclaimer: We are not actually investing money in the stock market, however we are collecting data in real time from the stock market.
You will open yours up with the assignment posted in Google Classroom, but if your formatting gets messed up and you need to start over, you can look at how it originally looked here.
**You may not choose Peloton since it is the one that is already completed in here for you to see.
Day 1 - Intro
Today we will learn the basics of the stock market.
Tonight's HW: Pick two companies that you will use for your project. In your google doc, make sure you complete your cover page by typing in your name, your two companies names, and adding an image or two to represent your two companies.
Day 2 - Invest
Today we will invest in the companies we chose by looking up how much they are selling for right now. We will figure out how many of each stock to purchase.
Remember the contest rules in the Google Doc. You have $10,000 to spend. You must spend between $9,900-$10,000. Anything outside of this range needs Mrs. Emschweiler's approval. You must also spend at least $2,000 in each company.
We will find our information about our stocks from finance.yahoo.com
Day 3 - Graphs
Today we will make three graphs with our data.
A line graph that compares how much 1 share from each of the companies cost.
A line graph that compares how much money we invested in each company.
A line graph that shows how much money we have invested in total for both of our companies.
See below for examples of mine.
What do we do after Day 3?
We watch our money grow! ... Well we hope it grows! We will check it monthly throughout the school year and update the data in our graphs. At the end of the year we will see who is our winner with the most money!
