The first step that the class took in doing this project was to go to the computer lab and select, And do research on the 3-5 stocks that we chose to see if they were good stocks to invest in. We had to invest in the stocks with a spending minimum of $8000 and a maximum of $10,000. The date which the class invested in their stocks was February 25,2002 the class track their stocks until March 25,2002 the day which the class sold their stocks. When the class sold their stocks the class found the percent of increase/decrease of each of their stocks.
