Math Stock Market Project

 For my math project, I invested in four stocks. These stocks were Google, Apple, Aeropostale and Abercrombie and Fitch. I decided to invest in these companies for a varitety of reasons. I picked Google because I knew that a lot of people use it and that it was usually a very successful stock. The reason that I picked Apple was that I knew that it was a popular company and that it made a lot of money. For Aeropostale, I heard that it was a good stock to invest in and for Abercrombie and Fitch, I thought it was in the same type of company as Aeropostale so, I decided to invest in that too and see how it turned out. Some were more successful than others but, I still made some money on them.




 


Now that I've seen the successful and not so successful stocks, I wish that I had changed some of the things I had invested in. I wish that I hadn't bought Google because it went way down since I bought it. I also wish that I hadn't bought so many shares of Aeropostale because that went down too. Instead of buying Google, I wish that I bought more shares of Apple because I originally bought 11 shares of it and earned $733.59.




There are many strategies to earn a lot of money in the stock market. Some good advice is that the sometimes cheaper stocks can earn you a lot of money, especially if you buy a lot of shares from them. For example, if you buy 1000 shares of a stock and it goes up 1 cent and you sell all your shares, you earn $10. Also, sometimes the more expensive stocks earn a lot of money. Apple was an expensive stock but, I made a lot of money from it. This was a very fun and interesting project!
