Investing In Our Future
By: Healy, Danielle C., Karin, and Mrs. Coro
This year Mrs. Coro's math class is doing a Stock Market Project. We hope to understand a little bit more about investing money, while using online resources, like Google documents & finance, to track our earnings.
The Process:
First, we have had to pick a group with a least 2-4 people, but the hardest thing to do was to make up our investment group's name. Most people came up with very creative and spectacular names. Then we had to pick which stocks we wanted to buy with $10,000. After we agreed on the ones we wanted to keep, all the groups made a spreadsheet using Google documents. On the spreadsheet we wrote the public name, corporation, cost, ticker, number of shares, total number of shares, and the money we made and lost. This is so great because all the students in a group can share a common document. We will be tracking our investments weekly in class using the Google finance tool. BLOGGING:
Each week Investment Teams will be asked to blog about their stocks, whether they have made or lost money, and how the team expects to proceed in the upcoming week. Please check back regularly to see how our investment teams fair against the stock market.
1. Introduce your Investment Group and the members involved (no last names).
2. What stocks did you invest in?
3. After the first week, what where the total gains or loss?
4. What are you enjoying most about this simulation..so far.
Week 2:
1. How did your stocks do this week?
2. Any surprises? Disappointments? Accomplishments?
3. What GOOGLE TOOL are you enjoying the most and why?
Documents? Finance? Spreadsheet? Blogger?
Week 3:
1. How did your investments do this week?
2. What stocks did you decide to buy? Why?
2. Check your Google Spreadsheet to make sure you are caught up on your stock prices (there should be 5 weeks of data recorded- including this week)
3. We will start a Power Point presentation on our project in the upcoming weeks!
Week 1:
In your first post, please follow the following format:1. Introduce your Investment Group and the members involved (no last names).

Mrs. Coro
Dear Mrs. Coro's class,
ReplyDeleteOur group, consisting of Horselover 1 and Horselover 2, (Ali and Jodie) is called Blue Ribbon Pony Finals. We invested in Dover Saddlery, PetsMart, Guandong Golden Horse Tourism GRP stock, (we only picked it because of its name) United States Basketball League, Under Armour, Forward industries, (Ford) and Apple.
At the moment, Apple is doing best. Last week, it had a huge drop, and we were afraid we would lose a lot of money. Thankfully, it went up by $5.12. Guandong Golden Horse Tourism GRP stock is going down by $1.02. Last week it was going up steadily, but unfortunately, it has gone done.

We both are really enjoying this project, and we are learning lots about the stock market. It makes a nice change from workbooks and textbooks

Dear Mrs. Coro's Investment Class,
ReplyDeleteOur investment group, Je Sais Stocks, consists of Isabella A. and Taylor B. We chose the name Je Sais Stocks because we are both learning French, and Je Sais means I know in French.
We invested our money in a variety of companies, including Starbucks, Boston Scientific, Barnes & Nobles, Scholastic Books, Target, and Microsoft. We invested in these companies because they are fairly well known and have cheap stock.
At the end of the week, we had rather dissatisfying results. We lost $5.92. Oh Well. We can try to make money next time.
We have mixed opinions. Taylor says that she likes it and that her dad is helping her. She also sometimes dislikes it when she gets mad at the computer, which rarely does what she wants it to. Isabella thinks that it is sometimes fun and sometimes very annoying because you have to use the computer constantly. We both enjoy the ability to learn more about finance. All in all, it is a satisfactory project.
Sincerely,
Je Sais Stocks Investing Team, Isabella and Taylor
Dear Mrs.Coro's Investment class,
ReplyDeleteThe Awesome ASSA (Athena, Shana, Sadaf, Amy) are doing fabulous. Our stocks are Starbucks, Hersheys, and Coca-Cola. Hersheys and Coca-Cola are doing perfect we all ready made about $5.00, while Starbucks is loosing A LOT of money! After the 1st week, we were doing REALLY bad :( we lost 0.52 cents. All of our stocks were down.In our opinion, I think we are doing about average. But we think we are going to improve.
Sincerely,
Athena, Shana, Sadaf, and Amy
Dear Horselovers,
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of company is Guandong Golden Horse Tourism GRP? I like the name, too.
Sincerely,
Taylor

Dear Taylor,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your question. The name, Guandong Golden Horse Tourism GRP, is very confusing. I have copied the info paragraph on Guandong Golden Horse Tourism GRP, and here it is.
Guangdong Golden Horse Tourism Group Stock Co., Ltd is a China-based company engaged in manufacture and sale of electrolytic aluminum products, as well as provision of information network and communication services. During the year ended December 31, 2008, electrolytic aluminum products accounted for approximately 88.92% of the Company’s total revenue. It operates its businesses principally in Sichuan and Shandong provinces, China. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had two major subsidiaries, which involved in power communication services and manufacture of electrolytic aluminum products.
At the moment, it is going up by $0.45, and we are thrilled that such a random stock was picked!
Thanks again,
Blue Ribbon Pony Finals
Dear Fifth Grade Blog,
ReplyDeleteAs our second week of posting,the Blue Ribbon Pony Finals investment group's stocks have been switching up. Dover Saddlery has surprisingly gone up by $0.29, and Apple has decreased by $8.59. We are sadly disappointed about this drop. Guandong Golden Horse Tourism GRP had gone up $0.45, which is a nice change from Apple's major drop. United States Basketball League is staying neutral at $0.00. Under Armour has gone down by $1.67. Forward Industries had gone down by $0.03, which isn't too bad. PetsMart has decreased by $0.57.
This week, we have made $2.51. We have unfortunately lost a bit of money.
Thanks for viewing,

ReplyDeleteDear Mrs. Coro's Investment Class,
The Mushroom Group is made up of two members, Brandon and Cameron.
We had $10,000 to spend, so our group chose 50 shares of Target, 100 shares of Costco Wholesale, and 69 shares of Starbucks.
Unfortunately, by the first week, we had altogether already lost $88.09.
From the stocks of our first week, our best stock that dropped the least (all of our stocks dropped) was Costco Wholesale at $57.67.
Our worst stock was Starbucks which is at $23.16.
In our opinion, we think that the best part of this simulation is the fact that we get to see how other companies are doing in real life, the fact that we get to monitor it, and how we get to see how much money we would have gained or lost if we bought these stocks for real.
Sincerely,
The Mushroom Group
Dear Mrs. Coro's Investment Class,
ReplyDeleteOur group name is ADEA and our names are Aden, Danielle, Emily, and Ava. We invested our money in stocks that were fairly cheap and well known. Our $10,000 went into 24 stocks which included Abercrombie, Apple, Nintendo, and Toyota. This week, surprisingly, Abercrombie did the best and went up from the original price of $23.27 a share to $33.80 a share. Even though it was doing fine last week, MasterCard price of $262.65 dropped to $254.57 and cost us $24.24. Aden's favorite part is getting to see how the stock market goes up and down in a day. Ava likes the simulation because we get to feel like adults and get to be with friends. Emily likes learning about the stock market, and using Google Docs and Google Finance. Danielle likes the stimulation because it makes her feel professional and she gets to work on gmail.com.
Sincerely,
ADEA Investment Group
Dear 5th Grade Blog,
ReplyDeleteThe Pretty Colors Inc. investment group includes Conor, Jerry, and Bryan. We invested our $10,000 on Apple, Target, and Costco. After the first week, all of our stocks went down. Our biggest surprise was that Apple went up by almost 10$! But right after that it lost $8.59. We are excited for when they release the iPad because Apple might jump by like $200.
Pretty Colors Inc. is very excited because President Obama tested out the iPad, and said he loved it, so we are 80% sure it will go up a ton. The other companies aren't doing as well. All of them went down by at least $5
Sincerely,
Pretty Colors Inc.
Shock Tubby Investers include, the really cool Max, the awesome Zach, the really good runner Spencer, and the fun Miles.
ReplyDeleteWe chose to invest in Inovative Card, Ticketmaster, Netflix, Apple, Google, Teradyne, and Smith International.
Shock Tubby Investers gained 900.00 in Innovative Card which was amazing, we also gained 2.58 in Ticketmaster, we lost 0.72 in Netflix, we lost 55.52 in apple, we lost 1585.59 in Googlew which we did not expect, we lost 904.00 in Teradyne, and we lost 10.06 in Smith International.
We are enjoying watching the stocks go up in down, and we also enjoy having a real life situation.
your friends,

Dear Mrs. Coro's class,
ReplyDeleteThe Mega Investors consist of: Brian, Brendan, Alan, and Jae won. We've invested in the following five companies: Target where we invested 5 shares, Apple where we invested 4 shares, Marvel where we also invested 4 shares, Google where we invested 10 shares, and Microfinancial Inc. where we invested 30 shares. We were dissapointed when we lost $16.52, and made no money at all.
We still have hope because Apple released a new item that will hopefully get their stocks up. We also think that Microfincial Inc. will do okay because it's a new company, but after all, its stocks aren't the highest.
Sincerely,
Mega Investors
Dear Mrs. Coro's Investment class,
ReplyDeleteBailey & Sophie Corp.is an investment entity with members consisting of Cameron, Sammy and Radin. Our initial $10,000 investment fund was partially used to purchase 2 shares of Apple, 4 shares of Google, 5 shares of Rand Capitol, 20 shares of Hersha Hospitality, 3 shares of Fed Ex, and 2 shares of Microsoft. During the initial two weeks, our stocks made a successful upward leap. The following week, Apple went down nearly $10. The other stocks did not share the magnitude of Apple's misfortune. Hersha and Microsoft each lost an average of $2.50. Rand Capitol, on the other hand, jumped $1.50.
Consequently, Bailey and Sophie incurred a loss of $15 while realizing $1.00. One can conclude that this week did not present a financially rewarding opportunity for our company.
Bailey and Sophie Corp.
Dear 5th Grade,
ReplyDeleteOur names our Jackie, Eden, Bella, and Danielle and we are in the investment group JEBD. We have noticed that many stocks have moved up, down and even stayed the same.For example, we earned $16.70 on McDonald's when we lost $312.56 on Google. During the last week we lost $420.92. Unfortunately, we only have $23.27, but we have the whole year to grow, so by then we will probably have a lot more money. We have invested in Google, Apple, McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon.com, Pool Corporation, American Express, MasterCard, and Equinix. We have had a couple of great days where every stock was high and days where everything was low.
Sincerely,
JEBD Investment Group
Dear Fifth Grade Blog,
ReplyDeleteHi! Our third week has brought us to a major drop in stocks, with Apple going down $7.12. The only stocks that are going up are Guandong Golden Horse Tourism GRP stock by $1.12, and Dover Saddlery is going up by $0.36.
Even though we are not doing very well, we are having fun exploring the stock market. Although we are glad we are not investing real money!
Thanks,
Blue Ribbon Pony Finals
(The Horselovers, Ali and Jodie)
Dear Mrs. Coro's class,
ReplyDeleteOur group, Bailey and Sophie corp is doing well. We are getting somewhat of a profit but it all adds up. Computer related things like google and apple are going up, seeing as there is room to grow after a falling trend. Rand Capitol is continuing to do well as we just gained 5 dollars.
We learned a lot from this project like recession is terrible and affects alot
sincerely,
Radin,Sam,and Cameron
Dear Mrs. Coro's Investment class, in our second week it looks like we have made some money. Our biggest surprise was Ticketmaster when we earned $166.40. The stock that we were disappointed in was Teradyne when we lost $54.00. Also, we earned $33.40 from Smith International. Overall, we gained money this week and we are proud of the stocks we invested in.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,

Dear Mrs. Coro's class,
ReplyDeleteThis week, Je Sais Stocks didn't do so well. We managed to lose $31.40. Maybe we aren't so good at this investing thing after all. We can hope to do better next week, because we can't exactly sell our failing stocks yet.
Of course, we were disappointed. We really hoped our stocks would have a good week, but I suppose that they will do better next week. Of course, we will both disappointed, especially in Microsoft, which decreased dramatically.
Taylor and Isabella both enjoy using Google Spreadsheets to track our progress. Taylor would like to add that now her their spreadsheet looks like a messy mass of algebra and confusing math.
Sincerely,
Je Sais Stocks Investment Group
Dear Mrs. Coro's investment class,
ReplyDeleteOur most succesful company is MicroFinancial Incorporated, which only made $0.16. Otherwise, we lost $15.68 out of our other companies, Target, Apple, and Google. Unfortunately, we have not had any change in Marvel since we invested in it.
We thought the iPad would do great, but regardless of how it did, Apple still lost $0.29.
Sincerely,
Mega Investors
Shock Tubby Investors include, the really cool Max, the awesome Zach, the really good runner Spencer, and the fun Miles.
ReplyDeleteWe chose to invest in Innovative Card, Ticketmaster, Netflixs, Apple, Google, Teradyne, and Smith International.
This week, Shock Tubby Investors gained nothing and lost nothing on Innovative Card and Ticketmaster. There were losses for our other stocks. We lost $14.40 on Netflix, we lost $79.64 on apple, we lost $34.35 on Google , we lost $88 on Teradyne, and we only lost $16 on Smith International.
Even though it was a down week for the market, we all enjoyed watching the stock market go up and down loosing and gaining money.
Dear 5th graders,
ReplyDeleteWe are not doing very well with our stocks. We lost $336.94 this week. We earned $96.50 off of Target, but lost $283.20 on Google. We have -$235.42 now, but we hope by next week we will be out of debt and maybe even make some money!
Thanks,
JEBD
Dear Mrs. Coro's Investment Groups,
ReplyDeleteThis week, our stocks did not do so well. The stock that made the most was Starbucks, which went up $0.83 and made us $5.81. Unexpectedly, Apple lost $4.90 and cost us $14.70.
Aden's favorite Google tool is Google Finance because she gets to look at how the stocks go up and down. Ava likes Google Docs because she gets to share documents and spreadsheets. Emily enjoys working on the blog because it is fun to post and comment on blogs. Danielle likes Google Docs because she can go on there instead of using a flash drive.

Dear Mrs. Coro's Investment class,
ReplyDeleteDuring the past week, Hershey's is +$0.20. Also on the down side, Coca-Cola has lost -$0.74 and Starbucks has lost -$0.37. Hopefully, we will get to the point of gaining the money we lost back and much more. We really went down with our money, but we hope we get better.
Sincerely,
The Awesome ASSA (Amy, Shana, Sadaf, and Athena)
Dear Mrs.Coro's class,
ReplyDeleteOur group, * Glitter and Gold* has Healy, Danielle C., and Karin. We invested on Google, MasterCard, Yahoo!, Costco, California Pizza Kitchen, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Hershey's, Arden Group, and Denny's. At the first week, most of our stocks were going up and was well. But at January 28th, all of our stocks went down. What we like about our stock market project is that we like researching stocks and which stocks are going up and down. We also like using Gmail to share documents(from Google Docs). Our investments did not succeed to our standards this week. One of the stocks we want to sell is Starbucks and another would be Coca-Cola because both stocks are not going well. One stock we would like to invest in for next week is Apple (Macintosh).

ReplyDeleteI really liked the Stock Market Simulation Blog because it is very interesting to see what is happening with other people's stocks. I also liked the fact that everybody made and lost money, but nobody made or lost the same amount. In conclusion, I think that using the blog for our Stock Market project was a very good idea.

Dear Mrs. Coro's Class,
ReplyDeleteThis week we are facing small loses like $.50 in Apple and Google and other things we are earning dollars and quarters slowly.If we were allowed to sell stocks I would sell Apple because testers are saying they dislike Apple's new product. I am thinking of purchasing some energy related stocks because of the cold winter so we'll add that to our watch list.

Dear Mrs. Coro's Class,
ReplyDeletePretty Colors investment group had an even week. All our stocks stayed about the same, so there wasn't much to report. At least our stocks did not go down, being Apple, Target, and Costco. We will keep watching our stocks and see what happens. These results were from 2/12/10.

Dear Mrs. Coro's Class,
ReplyDeleteOnce again, our stock market week has ended with a despiteful bang. As usual, most of our stocks are going down. PetsMart is going up by $0.56, Guandong Golden Horse Tourism GRP stock is going up by $0.15, and Apple is going up by $2.04.
Since hearing about the slight difficulties Toyota is experiencing, we decided to look at the stock to see how far it was going down. (We don't have any shares in it) We are VERY surprised because it is going UP by $70.00!! Accurate or not, we are going to watch it for a few weeks.

Dear Mrs. Coro's class,
ReplyDeleteThis week Je Sais Stocks, meaning I know stocks in French, made $171.80 in total(Wow! Please applaud for us). This was a very amazing achievement for us because in the last weeks our stocks had just dropped.We made most of our money by investing in Scholastic Corporation. But also in Barnes & Noble Inc., in which we made $23. All of our other stocks went down (not to our surprise), including Boston Scientific Corporation, Starbucks Corporation, Scholastic Corporation, Target Corporation, and Microsoft Corporation. First we were really startled, because we made so much money, but we don't think we'll have this fabulous luck anymore. Sometimes we wish this were real money, but we probably shouldn't, because we'd just lose it.
Taylor And Isabella both enjoy the Stock market simulation. Taylor really likes that we can learn about the stock market and google documents, Finance, and more, while Isabella really likes the part that we can work in groups. We hope that you enjoyed reading our report about this week and that you are inspired by investing too. Just kidding!

ReplyDeleteWe found a penny stock that was over 250%.I don't really know how,but it really happend. our stocks have bean going up mostly,but also down a little. we sold orient paper inc because it was going down. after that we got some penny stocks.Sincerally

Dear Mrs. Coro's Class,
ReplyDeleteThis week, we didn't sell any stocks yet, although we might sell some next week. Unfortunately, we managed to lose $185.40 in stocks. The reason that we decided not to sell was because we heard that the temperamental stock market decided to be happy and go up next week. At first, we were considering buying Toyota, but after hearing Mrs. Levin's opinion on how soon it will come out of this mess we decided that it was not a good option.
Sincerely,
Je Sais Stocks
Dear 5th graders,
ReplyDeleteWe have lost $636.12 this week alone, but we are about to buy and sell more stocks, depending on how good or bad they are doing. We lost $301.20 on Google, but earned $12.30 on McDonalds. We also lost $17.16 on Apple. Hopefully, we will gain money next week.
Sincerely,
JEBD
Dear Mrs. Coro's Investment Groups,
ReplyDeleteWe have decided to sell three stocks this week including Microsoft and Amazon.com who were losing too much money to keep. Toyota's recent recall caused the stock to lose money and we decided not to wait it out because we are afraid it will get worse.
The stocks we decided to buy are Ford, Live Nation, and AT&T. When we looked at the historical prices, we could see that the prices of these stocks did not have any big drops, so it was safe to buy them.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Coro's investment class,
ReplyDeleteOur group has not been doing well lately. Although Target gained $0.09, we still lost $2.98. From Apple, we lost $0.95, from Google, we lost $2.02, from MicroFinancial Incorporated, we lost $0.01, and from Marvel, which because it was bought by Disney, still has no change. Overall we lost $2.89.

Shock Tuby Investors include the really cool Max, the really great runner Spencer, the fun Miles, and the awesome Zach.
ReplyDeleteWe have decided to invest in Innovative Card, Ticket Master(Live Nation) Netflix, Apple, Google, Teradyne, and Smith International.
This week, Shock Tuby Investors gained some and lost some. Innovative Card gained nothing ,and lost nothing. We have gained $44.00 with Live Nation, and lost $7.08 with Netflix. Apple dropped $10.12, and lost $73.40 with Google. We have gained $4.00 with Teradynne, and gained $116.00 on Smith International.
We all enjoyed watching our stocks go up and down.
Dear Mrs. Coro's Investment Class,
ReplyDeleteThis week we've been selling most of our existing stocks to purchase several Penny stocks. Unfortunately, due to a rapid decrease in the value of some of these stocks, we lost $0.64. We are therefore considering two options. We can either 1) sell our penny stocks now and purchase more viable stocks or 2) hold on to these stocks and hope that they appreciate in value.
Sincerely,
Bailey & Sophie Corp.

Dear Mrs. Coro's class,
ReplyDeleteWe have decided to sell Apple because the tester did not like the new Ipad. We are going to wait for our other stocks to rise more until we sell them. Further more, we are doing very well as the economy slowly rises back to a boom.
Sincerely,
Radin,Sam,Cameron
Dear Ms. Coro's class,
ReplyDeleteThis week, Je Sais Stocks, meaning we know stocks, lost twenty dollars on a new stock that we invested in, called Vivid Learning Incorparated. This was not very surprising achievement to us, because we usually don't have any luck with this simulation. Only Boston Scientific Corporation and Target Corporation went up. All of our other stocks dropped dramatically, which was not very surprising. Even though we don't make a lot of money, learning about stocks is very interesting.
Both of us have opinions about this simulation too. Taylor thinks the simulation is very fun, and she likes that her father can explain her a lot about the stock market. On the other hand, Isabella enjoys learning more about Google Docs and Google Finance. Taylor and Isabella though both like that they can work together and learn about stocks at the same time.
I hope you enjoyed reading this report and that you are inspired by investing too (just not in the stocks we invested in).
Sincerely,
Je Sais Stocks Investment Team
Dear 5th graders,
ReplyDeleteWe are doing worse than last week! Although we only lost $20.10, our total is -$2,071.76. Luckily, we gained $75.30 on Apple, but sadly lost $82.92 on Google. We hope they are doing okay so we can show that we have invested in good stocks!. We have started a PowerPoint presentation about our stocks that is super awesome. Maybe we will gain enough money to be in positives over the next weeks.
Sincerely,
JEBD
Dear Mrs. Coro's Class,
ReplyDeleteThis week, Je Sais Stocks had a very successful week. We made $63.70. Even though we have not yet earned back what we lost, we feel that the stock market is on the mend. Isabella and Taylor are both enjoying this project. We think that it is fun to be in "real world" situations.
Sincerely,
Je Sais Stock Investment Group
P.S. For anyone who is wondering, it is pronounced Ju Say.
Dear Mrs. Coro's investment class,
ReplyDeleteThis week, Target made $0.17, Apple made $0.66, Google made $4.69, and of course, Marvel has not made or lost an money. Although we gained $5.52, MicroFinancial Incorporated lost $0.90, so we actually gained $4.62 in all.

Dear Mrs. Coro's Class,
ReplyDeleteThis week Isabella and Taylor were actually lucky. We managed to make money in all stocks except for Target and Scholastic. We are both enjoying the project.
