Working with stocks

Post Reply New Topic

I don't think I told anyone this, but I am taking Economics this summer just to get it out of the way. Today in class, we did a little group activity. We decided whether to buy or sell hypothetical stock, and decided whether to invest or save money based on a specific time period in history.

It turns out that I am very good at determining whether to buy or sell stock, but I am terrible at deciding whether to invest or save money.

Bill Gates is one of the smartest men in the world. Not only does he have AS, but he is also from my hometown of Seattle, Washington. I have been told that even he makes mistakes in investing and saving money. Microsoft's stocks shot up like a rocket when he first came up with Windows, there is no question about it. However, everyone makes mistakes, himself included.

Even though I had absolutely no clue of a good decision as to working with the stock market. In my group activity, my group was very impressed with my calls of "bank" and "invest," and the fact that I understood the subject matter. However, I have no idea what I can do about this in the future. Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Unfortunately not, but I congratulate you on the success you received.

Actually, it was more like praise, Malcolm, but between us, we did the best out of all the groups that participated.

Thank you

It is a pleasure.
