In this project we researched some stocks before we purchased them with internet money. After we purchased our researched stocks we shose 3-5 stocks and spent a minimum of $8000 and a maximum of $10 000. We chose what stock market we wanted to purchase the stocks off of. We had a choice between New York Stock Exchange, Toronto Stock Exchange, and Nasaq Stock Exchange. We would come down to the computer lab once every week to check and see how much our stocks went up or down. On Mar. 25,02 we totaled up our stocks and sold them in internet money and tried to figure out how much we made or lost. After we found our totals we compared it with other students and determined the winner with highest amount of money made.

This was a very enjoyable course and was a excellent change from the usual work activities I am use to doing in regular classes. I think it was also a good experience to do during classes also I enjoyed all the computer work we did on this.
