JohnS:

I am going to call you that for the rest of your life. Maybe even after that. Anyway, interesting idea. It will be interesting to see how your previous experience comes into play. Who will be seeing your final product? Who will it be helping? It would be interesting to compare you previous experience and current experience in light of the new presidency as they can potentially sway the stock market. Hmm.

Playing the market week 2

• Is getting into the stock market a viable high school hobby?
• What is the barrier to entry of the stock market?
• How can someone make a living off of the stock market?
• Is there a gender pay gap in the stock market, if so how big?

Playing the Stock Market? (week 1)

After my friend finally cracked me, I finally succumb to the dark side (also because all my other ideas were shut down).  We have decided that we will start with an investment of five hundred dollars and our end goal is a mere ten times the initial investment (should be okay).  This is something that would easily be presentable showing our success or failure. The end product would be a stock market survival guide. This will be a fresh slate, so there aren't currently any successes or failures but hopefully by the end of our experience we will have a couple of both as I believe that failures are just as important as successes if not more important in the learning process and hopefully if we collect enough data about what works and what doesn't we will make a stock survival guide. Hopefully this turns out as well as i'm hoping however only time will tell.
