Stock Market Game

Read the directions!

Follow the link to join in the stock market game.  How much money can you make?

When you click the link you must first register.  After you have registered you must enter the class password.

In order to buy stocks you first need to do some research about different companies.  Go to http://finance.yahoo.com/ and look around on the main page for stories.  Or if you know what kind of company you want to invest in, do your own research.

When you choose a stock you wish to buy, click on "trade now".  Enter the amount of shares you wish to purchase and make the transaction.  Everyone will start with $10,000.

You do not have to spend all of your money today, but you must buy stock in AT LEAST 1 company!

We will check back on your progress next week.
