Stock Market Contest Instructions
This is an extra credit assignment that can benefit both you individually and your financial group project team. This is your “TBD” assignment worth 10 extra credit points this quarter as per your Syllabus. Here is how it works:
1.) Begin investing your $100,000. You can be conservative or go for more risk as you choose. You can make one trade or many buy and sell trades as you like. (note: each buy or sell will cost $5).
2) You will need to defend some sort of investment strategy and explain at the end of this simulation why you chose the investments you purchased and/or sold.
3) Remember, stock prices fluctuate daily based on many factors. The “fundamentals” of a company as you are studying in chapter 13 are the foundation of this price. What the market thinks will happen in the near term and longer term future is also a factor on stock price. This not only applies to the prospects for a specific company but also specific industries and of course local and global economic outlooks.
