Stocks Sell-Off and Reflection


You will now end your stock investing project by selling off all your stocks. Go find the current market price for all of your stocks and “sell them off” at their current market price.
Once you do that, take your total amount of money and subtract $5,000 (your original investment). This is how much money you earned or lost on your investment.
Total gains or losses ___________________
Reflection- Answer each of the following with a COMPLETE PARAGRAPH 
1.      1.  It has been 3 months since you made your original investment. In that time, you could have earned $165 by putting your $5000 in a CD. Did you make the right investment choice doing stocks over a CD? Explain.


2.       2. What stocks that you made investments in were a good investment? What happened that made those stocks rise in price? How did you originally decide on buying these stocks?


3.       3. What stocks that you made investments in were a bad investment? What happened that made those stocks fall in price? How did you originally decide on buying these stocks?



4.      4. Now that it’s all over, if/when you invest in stocks in the future; will you do your own investing or hire an investor? Why?
