What’s happening? The economy… • Losing homes • Losing jobs • Small businesses hurting • Taxes going up • Schools losing money So we invested in a lot of different stocks –15 to be exact Some of the other stocks are MCD, HOTT, F, DODFX, HBI, DXD, and SDS
What is a stock? • A stock is a supply of goods kept on hand for sale to customers by a merchant, distributor manufacturer or inventory. • A stock is part ownership in a company. You do this by investing money in the company.
Six Flags • Why: It is an amusement park and every one wants to pretend there is no depression going on. • Gained: $21,833.60 • My team bought this stock because it’s a fantastic place where you can have fun, ride roller coasters, and go to the water park.
Apple • Why: New technology as in iPads, iPods, iPhones, and computers. • Gained:$7,602.02 • My team and I bought this stock because everyone is buying all the new stuff such as Macs and iPhones.
Microsoft • Why: People use Microsoft products almost every day • Lost: $901.84 • My team bought this stock because we know that most of the teachers, students, entrepreneurs, businessmen, and etc., use their products.
China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Limited • Why: China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Co., Ltd., founded in 2006, is the largest non-state-owned (or state-controlled) fan manufacturer in China. • Lost: $378.84 • My team bought this stock because we wanted to see how much money we would lose or gain if we invest in a wind company.
What We Learned How To… • Buy, sell, and trade stocks • Research different stocks • Cooperatively work in a group • Work with graphs to help us decide whether we should buy, sell, or trade a stock • Evaluate our country's economic system
