Stock investment summary

In independent study we were learning about the stock market. Miss.Salinas told us the pretend to invest 5,000 in real stocks. I invested in RadioShack, Nokia, Best Buy, and McDonald. My shares for RadioShack was 500,for Nokia was 200,for McDonalds was 21, and for Best buy was 20. We had to multiply the about of money the stock made that day by the amount of shares you had for that company. For example if RadioShack had $1.45, I had to multiple that by 500 and find the total which in this case would be $725. We had to find the total for all of the stocks and then add them to find the overall total of the stocks. My daily routine for independent study was to find the stocks and then write them on my journal. After I was done with the stocks I did any work I had for other classes. Independent study was a class to do research or work for other classes by yourself but if we needed help we still had a teacher with us to help. This class helped me keep up with assignments that I didn't get to finish during other class. In algebra I didn't get to finish all work so I got to finish it in independent study. The stock market was a good project to so because it help us if we wanted to invest in real life or if our parents did we could help them. In the future I would not invest but at least I know how to if I wanted to.
