This week has been a great week for Stock Market Adventures (the name of the stock market game).
Just last week we were up about $2,200. That was pretty good but not as much as I had hoped. This week Taylor and I have made $8,300 dollars. We are currently $3,300 dollars over our original goal of $5,000. This is great news, too bad the money is not real. Our game will last until mid-May, so we have lots more to gain... and lose. I feel we are doing a decent job with our limited knowledge of how to invest. I am hoping that we will make at least $15,000 in the next month or so. We just need to start making some smart ivestments. I have started on the dictionary section of Investopedia. Here are a list of some of the words:

1. A Priori Probability 

2. A Ton Of Money

3. A+/A1

4. A-/A3

5. A-B Split

6. A-BTrust

7. A-Credit

8. A-Note

9. A-Share

10. A-Shares

11. A. Michael Spence

12. A.M. Best

13. A/A2

14. AA+/Aa1

15. AAA

16. AAAA Spot Contract

17. AARP

18. ABA Bank Index

19. ABA Transit Number

Over the course of two weeks Taylor and I have made 1,500 dollars on our stock market game. We have invested in companies like Apple, Nike, Expedia, and Cabelas. So far our returns are steadily going up and I am confident we will meat our 5,000 dollar goal.We have sold Nike and Apple after the 1,500 dollar return because there stock was up. After selling the two stocks we have over 64,000 to spend on new stocks. Over the week I will be looking into new stocks to invest in. This week we are also going to work on our study questions. We have our three sources and are searching for the answers. We have four questions answered but have a ways to go for all 15 note cards. Also this week we will be going though stock terms on investopedia. Taylor and I are making good progression through our 20% project, better than expected.
