Stock Market

This year in language arts, we were given 20,000 fake dollars to invest up in up to six companies. The same time we were doing this, our class was reading The Westing Game. One of the characters in the book was named Turtle. All the characters were given 10,000 dollars. Turtle decided to invest her 10,000 dollars to get more money. We made a spread sheet and put in commands to calculate how much money we got. I started with 65 dollars because a lot of companies were not doing good. But later on, I got more and more, until I got  950 dollars! This was very fun and it taught me how real investors earned and lost money.
