This is the Virtual Stock Exchange. It was confusing at first, all the numbers and percents that I had no idea what they ment were over whelming and I'd just buy stocks that I was familiar with. But over time, I understood the numbers; when to buy cheap stocks and sell them for a good price. Looking for stocks was also hard because I didn't really know a lot of companies that base their stocks on technologies like the computer. As I said before, I just chose ones that were popular and that I've heard of.
I gained money and I lost money from time to time. As you can see on the homepage above I had a total return of 22.13%. That is a lot of money to gain. Hopefully it stays like that. Other times it would fall down to -20% or something around there and I hated that, it took my pride away.
The group was a total different story. Our group was called Tarcoalian company and man I found it frustrating to work with them, as well as present a powerpoint with them. It was hard to get them working. The only thing that was fun was creating the logo. I'd prefer not to present a crappy powerpoint that we threw together in such the small amount of time we left to do it. I'd rather put together a good powerpoint and not present it, ( although then I guess why make a powerpoint if we aren't going to present? Whatever) that would've been better.
I learned a lot about stock exchanges like how to buy wisely, what stock exchange actually is and how to make good decisions on stocks. Learning how to make graphs off of Excel was interesting and handy to know too. It was somewhat fun and easy all in all.
