Hello friends, today we are going to be talking about the Stock Market. For those of you who don’t know, the stock market is basically a place where you put money in companies for them to grow and you get a piece of their company. How we got started on the stock market was by reading “The Westing Game”. It is a really great book with a mystery to check it out when you finish reading our story.

 

What you can do is spend no money in a simulator and see if your stocks go up or down. We started by going straight to Google Finance. Google Finance is a website that changes very frequently and it gives stats and news for the stocks. Pick companies that are either really cheap, and you think they have great potential, or pick companies that are thriving (but they are probably going to be a little more pricey). Put them in Google Sheets and wait two weeks to see if they change. You’re done! Leave in the comments what companies you picked and what you want the next post to be.
