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.

Max's view from the trees
My stocks that I invested in this quarter went up since the 1st day. My stocks were Chipotle, Apple, Nike, Wal-Mart, and Amazon. In the beginning most of my stocks went up. Mid-way through they went down. In the end all my stocks had gone up. The stock that went up the most was Apple.
Nick P's Summary Genius
I made a capital gain from my stocks because all of my stocks increased in value. My Apple, Chipotle, eBay, Wal-Mart, and Amazon stocks all went increasingly up in value to make me more money than I spent on the original stocks that I bought.
My two best stocks were Apple and eBay. They were my best stocks because they went extremely high up in value. eBay made about $300 dollars more than I bought it for and Apple made about $200 dollars more than I bought the stock for.
Yes, the $10,000 investment was a wise economic decision because all the stocks that I bought increased in value and made me money. If I sold the stocks now I would make nearly $1,000 more than what I had when I bought the original stocks.

John's View: Getting the Sling of it in the Stock Market
My portfolio, which included stocks such as Apple, Verizon, Navarre, Lion's Gate Entertainment, and Dish network, did very well. I started at $9,399.19 total worth and ended at $11,048.43, for a total gain in the four weeks of $1,649.24.
Lion's Gate and Navarre were the highest gainers, with LionÆs gate starting at $9.16 per share and ended at $13.86/share and Navarre starting at $1.67/share and ending at $1.84, but a high volume of stock was purchased. Lions Gate stock most likely went up because of the new Hunger Games movie, and the massive amount of advance ticket sales.
Overall, I think my investment was a wise investment. Most of the stock rose at a steady rate throughout the four weeks. One of the wise decisions I made was investing in Lion's Gate, knowing based on my classmateÆs/teachers hysteria that the movie would do very well.
If I was given $5,000 right now, I would probably invest about half of it into Apple and Lion's Gate stocks, with the idea that I would sell LionÆs Gate when the hype died down unless they came out with another great film. I would put the other half in my savings account because the stock market can be unpredictable.

Sami's Stocks
My stocks made a capital gain pretty much every week except for Navarre corporation stock on week four it went down four cents but other than that everything is going great.
My apple stock did very well it went up about $ 20.00 or more every week, and my Yum! Brands inc. did the second best with the rising of about $ 2.00 every week.
In my opinion I think my team investment of $ 10,000 was a wise economic decision because we made a fair amount of money over the four weeks.

Coonor B: Sketchers and Reality Stars
The Sketchers trade of Kim Kardashian for a dog that will race faster dogs then itself with sketchers shoes on and win. In my opinion this will affect the business greatly. It says in the article that before they had her doing their commercials they only had 100,000 fans on their facebook web page. When they hired her they had 400,000 fans. Since they switched to using a French bulldog and a couple of grey hounds for the commercial animal activists have been complaining about animal cruelty. They say the dogs shouldnÆt be put in cages, while they are being kept in the largest cages in the country. This decision may have a large affect on the economy for the reasons being, that people may not buy as many shoes which would decrease the amount of money Sketchers gets. If Sketchers doesnÆt get that money they may not give as many donations to charities or give higher wages to employees. Then the employees would not be able to spend that money and that decrease the flow of money going around in the economy.
