Last Blog

These past few weeks have been an eye opener for me: I hate the stock market. I also hate blogging. These past few weeks have also been a constant money loser. At one point Taylor and I had made over ten thousand dollars. We are now down to three thousand. I dont know what went wrong. This is my last blog for the year as 20% time comes to a close. Sometime soon i will have to present what i learned from trying to get involved with stocks. I realize im not very good at makeing wise decisions when it comes to stocks. Along with 20% time the school year is coming to a close, thank goodness. I doubt i will every get involved with stocks again. I guess the experience has not been all bad though. Maybe somewhere down the road i will find a use for the barbell technique... or maybe not. Good Bye.

These past few weeks have been tough for Stock Market Adventures. Taylor and I went from around $10,000 now down to a measly $6,000. I do not know what is happening to our stock prices, we sold the stocks that kept going down but does not seem to have helped. I have continued to check up on stock terms, i have not yet found a new stock market technique though. Taylor and I need to research on the stock buying techniques. I am still optimistic about our stock game we just need to do a little more reshearch and get back up in the ten thousands. It is hard to determine what stocks will go on to do well and what will fall short. Thank goodness this is only a game, stocks are tricky i cant believe so many people buy them. we will keep trying stocks are still fun.

This past week has been very promising. On the stock market game taylor and i made over 9,800 dollars. this is great news because our original goal was much lower at 5,000 dollars. i am still a little confused on when the right time to buy a shares is. ive heard its when the stock price is low but and the price will go up over time. if the price is low the price might just keep getting lower and lower which is guess the risk of buying stocks. Buying stocks is tricky but every time i check the game and my networth has gone up i am very happy. I wish there was more time to play the game, there are several good products coming later in the year but too far away to effect stock price. Taylor and I have made lots of progress from starting at nothing to now just some weeks ago.

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.

This is my first blog. I will be blogging about my 20% time project in language class. I have not yet started to study or do any thing related to stocks yet but i look forward too. I think it would be awesome to be stock smart and be able to make money from stocks. I dont really know how blog and am not very efficient at typing. I think this 20% time project is interesting but i am finding it a little difficult. my dad told me he tried stocks once but never made any money from it. he did not lose any but did not make much. Warren Buffet is a lucky man. my fingers hurt from typeing. im running out of things to talk about. This should be about 150 words. I will post again soon
