Bridget's Best Picks

My team's stock portfolio made a capital gain of $794.78. The stock that increased in value the most was our Lions Gate stock, rising $316. It would've risen $988 if we had taken it out 1 week earlier, though. Our other good stock choice was Apple, and it rose by $248. These were good stock choices, as they steadily increased over time and made us a significant profit. In my opinion, this investment was a good decision overall, for we almost made $1000. Even though the stock market is risky, investing in it can be a worthwhile endeavor, provided you know what you're doing. If I had $5000 to invest, I would most likely put some of it in a savings account, and some of it in the stock market. There's always a chance I could lose all of my money, but if I have some of it in a bank, then at least I'll have a small sum of money to use as backup if my investments fail me. On the other hand, if the stock market is doing well, I could gain a large profit indeed.

Becky's Bits of Financial Wizardry

My team's stock portfolio made a capital gain of about 794 dollars. Our biggest helper was our shares in Lions Gate, which had risen about $316 from the time we started, though we would've gained $988 dollars if we had stopped a week earlier. Our two best stock choices were Lions Gate and Apple, and these both increased somewhere around the three-hundred dollar range. In my opinion, though the stock market is always risky, this was a good experience, and my team made overall intelligent choices. Based upon my understanding of the stock market, if I had $5,000 to invest, I would probably split it evenly and put half in the stock market and half in the bank, where it is safe. The stock market is a very risky business, but if it is doing well I could make a large profit.

Becka: The Investor's view

My stock portfolio made a capitol gain; I started with $9054.55 and ended with $9621.00. My profit was $575.45. Prada S.P.A., Genesco Inc., and Oil and Natural Gas Corp. limited were the best performing in my portfolio, because they made the most profit. It could have been a better investment but I think that a profit of $575.45 is a big profit for a kid. If I got $5000 I would invest some in stock but would do a little more research, I would also put some in a bank account.

Jonathan's e-trade wisdom

I made a capital gain because out of all my stocks I made money except for BMW. BMW lost a little less then the money I started out with. Apple and eBay, I choose these because Apple never went down and kept rising. I chose eBay because they are going strong and eBay made the most money out of all my stocks. I thought my decision was wise because I made money. I made 1932.42 dollars.

Rachel's Brilliant Wall Street Week

My Stock portfolio made a capital gain every week. An example is like Apple. The first week I made 514.25 per share. The second week I made 544.47 per share. The third week I made 552 per share. Last but not least the forth week I made 601.10 per share.
The two best performing stocks that I think made a lot was Amazon and Lions gate. The reason that I picked those is because every week they went up. They never went down for me it just kept going higher and higher and that makes me happy.

Yes, I think it was a wise investment. I thought it was a good decision because to make money you have to risk your money and thatÆs just what I did and I made money some weeks and some I didn't.

Connor's Investment in Hunger (Games)

My team made a capital gain every week and in every stock. With the apple stock it started at $514.85 and at the end it was worth $601.10.

My two best stocks were Chipotle and Apple. They both went up a considerable amount Chipotle's price per share when I bought was $383.58 and ended $412.76. I bought Apple at $514.85 and ended at $601.10

In my opinion I think my team $10,000 investment because all of my stock is going up at a steady rate. I made a considerable amount of money on my investments so I'm pleased.

If I had another $5,000 I would probably invest in Lions Gate because of the Hunger Games movie. I did reasonably well last time so I would most definitely take the risk.

Carolyn's NYSE worthy observations

My stock portfolio made a capital gain altogether. My stocks, consisting of Ebay, Verizon, Apple, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Taco Bell all increased in value since the date they were purchased. The stocks made a total growth of $751.02 in four weeks and increased in value.

Two of my best performing stocks were Apple and Chipotle Mexican Grill. These two stocks increased in value the most. Apple showed a growth of $249.36 and Chipotle Mexican Grill increased in value by $141.50. These two stocks grew the most in four weeks and never decreased in value under my watch.

In my opinion, my $10,000 investment was a wise decision. All of my stocks increased in value and I made a total of $751.02. I think that the stocks that were invested in were a good choice because they seem to be stable companies worth investing in.
If I had $5,000 and I could either put the entire amount in my savings account, or invest it into the stock market, I would invest it into the stock market. The stock market can make you money and it usually takes money to make money, even though it involves risk. I think that if I invest my money well and wisely, in the end it will hopefully be worth it and a capital gain will occur.
