Stock Market

I was given ten thousand dollars in math class one day to invest in companies in the stock market. The first company I bought was Google, I bought it because it’s well known and was not that expensive compared to recent years. It also is one of the biggest companies in the world. I also invested in Microsoft and Activision because they are well known computer and gaming companies that have a lot of good games on the market. The last company I invested in was Las Vegas Sands because it was really cheap and last year’s value of it was high so I thought it would rise back up and I could make money off it.                                                                                                                                                                                         Now that I know more about stocks I would do change some of my companies I invested in. I would have sold early for Las Vegas Sand because it was at the peak of its value and I would have made a lot of money. I also would not have invested in Activision because it didn’t do well and was a low money company that wasn’t profitable. I would have bought more stocks in Google because it went up by a lot from when I bought it and was a good company to invest in.                                                                               Now that I have learned about the stock market I would give this advice. Since I am more comfortable with stocks instead of buying the companies that are big and seem good I would look more into their history. And I would see if they have ever dropped and came back up and research it a little more. I invested in Microsoft just because I thought it was a big successful company but it ended up being one of my worst stocks.
