INTRODUCTION
We
feel that this web site is needed for teenagers to learn how to invest
in the Stock Market. You of course can not invest yourself because
there is an age limit, (you must be 18 years old to buy stocks) but you
can get an adult to make a purchase for you. We played the stock
market game in our class and became hooked on buying stocks. We felt
that all teens should know how to do this because it will help them in
their future and it is fun.
Please use the information
on this site to help you learn and invest. We do not recommemd stocks,
you should do that research yourself, but we wanted to give you a bit of
information just to get you started.
New YorkStockExchange.That is the word,
the word you probably have heard a million times. The word that has 3000
thousand of world's best companies. The word that was founded in 1792.
It is located in New York City's Wall Street in the borough of Manhattan.
People go to the New York Stock Exchange from all around the globe.
Our class learned about
investing in stocks through the "Investment Game". It teaches
you how to invest in stocks. Here are the steps we did:
-
First we had to pick teams of
five.
-
Each team started off with $ 100,000
to invest. Not real money.
-
We were only able to buy three
stocks each week.
-
We were only allowed to buy 100
shares ofstock.
We read " The New York Times"
every morning to see if the price of our stocks increased or decreased.
You can check out the stock chart below on how to read stocks. We
also researched information on different companies, to see if we should
invest in their stock.
A stock exchange provides
a marketplace for the trading of stocks.
