This semester, you will be playing the Stock Market Game and managing a $100,000 investment portfolio with your partner. Each week, you will reflect on how your portfolio performed and provide your thoughts in a blog post that your teacher, classmates, and others will be able to read and respond to.
This will give you a chance to offer and ask for advice and/or warnings about certain investments, provide your reactions to market activity and news that has occurred over the week, and indicate your hopes and predictions regarding where the markets (and your specific investments in the SMG) are heading.
Sydney, Langley:
ReplyDeleteIn our stock our total cash balance is $97,839.89, and our total portfolio equity is $99,962.78. It allows our ranking to be 13 out of 93 in the region. Our buying power is in the positives with the amount of $147,821.28. In our portfolio we would like to see more growth in our stocks that we invested in and it would allow us to make more profit. The changes we would like to see are total cash balance rise from purchasing stocks.
Great job! Thanks for sharing, girls. What are your thoughts on your specific investments? You are ranked quite well, despite having lost equity. What does this tell you about other students' portfolios? What is your reaction to last weeks' news regarding the stock market? Did that news affect your investments?

Netflix is letting us down a good bit with its under appreciative performance this week, as are other stocks. However we will continue to keep stocks such as Nike and DirecTV until they bring us in a profit before we sell them. On the other hand stocks such as Gladfelter and Duke Enterprises are performing up to par and we are extremely pleased with there performance on the stock market.
All of our stocks to increase in profit would be extremely beneficial to the game, however just increasing back to the market price that we bought for would also be helpful. We would like Netflix to go back up to its 461 dollars per share.
Excellent job, fellas! Your investing strategy is sound, and I look forward to seeing Netflix rebound for you. Keep up the good work.

At the moment we feel good about our account. We feel that later on the trades that are currently low will eventually rise and do us good in the end. only one stock is doing good and all the other 5 of them are falling down.
we would like to see most or all of our stocks to go up and if it plans to stay in the red to not be as bad as it was before. we would like to have our rank go higher

I feel as if we are doing alright. We could be doing better. We need to invest in more stocks since on our chart its mainly money. Plus right now most of our stocks are not doing to great.
I would like to see the stocks go up, we are going to keep doing what we are doing, do our research and think before we buy shares. But we need to take risks, it's all about risks.
Thanks for your post, Alex and Nick! I'd love to hear more specifics from you about which stocks are performing poorly for you, and what the analysts are saying about those investments. What advice could you offer your fellow students based upon decisions you have made?
DeleteGood Job guys. Keep making smart investments and keep doing exquisite research. Way to be the top half of the leader boards also

How we feel about portfolio?
We are disappointed with our portfolio because of our 2.03% loss in our stocks. The prediction for PBYI was suppose to reach a 1 year target of $305.67 and it is only at $225.53. We hope to see growth in this area.
The changes we want to see:
We want to buy more stocks by the end of this week. Our account holdings are only 16.1 % stocks. We want to increase that to at least 60% stocks. We are also planning on buying stocks in health care and technology to better diversify and to grow our portfolio.
Great job, ladies!!! Thank you for sharing!

We feel uneasy about our portfolio at this time. As of yesterday we were ranked 8th but when I checked it this morning we were ranked 59th. This sharp decrease happened when Boeing Company went down -4.41% which caused us to lose $1,749.56. Other than being displeased with the Boeing Company we were happy about all of our other holdings due to the rest having an increase.
The changes that we would like to see occur is for the Boeing Company to increase so we can recoup what we lost and we would also like to see all of our other Holdings to continue to increase.
What are the emotions you have from being in 40 to 8th then to 59th place within three days? How will you act upon this?

So far in the game we are doing fairly well. At the beginning we bought two big stocks that originally did not do that well because they were at a high price, but after a few weeks they began to rise in profit price and made a good earning. Then we bought a few smaller stocks and a mutual fund that has been a steady earning for us. We are gradually making profits as our stocks are increasing daily. We feel that if we just watch out stocks and buy and sell at the right time, that we can increase our profit earnings and our rank in the game.
Try NKE! It's a good investment

Also are mutual funds are doing really well and are making us the most money that are portfolio has. Our goal for the end of this week and next week is for our stocks to continue going up and make us a good profit.
Dang. You guys should spend some money. You could invest in some stocks that are down and by the end you could make some serious doe because with 80k to spend you could buy alot of stocks.

As this week is coming to and end we are not feeling too good about the result of our portfolio. Our portfolio continues to go down except for the International Paper Company. There was one spike in our Portfolio during the week that caused us to go from 59th to 29th. But now as of a result of yesterdays stocks and mutual funds being down we are now in 40th place. It seems that our stocks are always unpredictable. What we think is going to be a good turnout isn't
One stock we may regret in buying is Netflix because lately it has been declining with little spikes back up here and there. Netflix hasn't been doing so well recently so we may regret that in the long run. Only time will tell with our holdings.
this looks good...good job, you seem to be making progress.

I would like to invest in more stocks and wait for our bad ones to go up slightly just to get the bad stocks out. Just keep buying, it's been working so far.

We feel that we could be doing better right now, but we're still waiting to see if our stocks will go up though. We invested in many stocks, some that weren't doing good at the time hoping they will go up and some that were doing good hoping they would at least give us a little money. The stocks we invested in didn't all fall in the same category either. We have stocks ranging from sports, clothes, food, etc.
Some changes I would like to see occur is for our money to go up and for our stocks that aren't doing good to start to get us in the positives. Like Texas Roadhouse, and Netflix. Other than that we feel we're doing pretty good.

We would like to see the Google stock go up because we have 50 shares of that. we are going to sell VITAX which is a mutual fund to see if we can make some money because it has been doing pretty well.

Try not to sell your stocks without first seeing why they may be down. You dont want to sell them if they will improve.
DeleteIf your stocks are negative, don't sell them! They'll bounce back eventually, you never want to lose money on an investment, just give it some time

We feel pretty good about our stocks right now, they aren't too bad. They have been keeping us around $103,000 to $106,000 in total equity which isn't that bad. We have two really good stocks that always earn a couple thousand for our total equity, but only one one stock has been going down a little bit, but it rises sometimes. We are pretty confident about our stocks.
Looks pretty good just watch the stock that decreases because like Buffet would do, he would buy more shares of that stock when the price is lower so keep that in mind.

So far in the game our stocks have been managing fairly well. Only a few have not been good like Google. At first we bought it at a high price and then it dropped so we lost money, but then it began to rise, but recently has come to a stand still. So were out some money there. Otherwise most of our other stocks are maintaining a constant increase. We feel that once Google reaches its buying price we will sell it, but we will keep our other stocks and mutual funds. We feel the game will continue to get better for us.

I would like to see all go up some more especially SLB and P because they are surppose to be doing amazing however SLB is losing all our of our gains and P has lost 800 dollars from its thousand it had about 2 weeks ago. We are still impressed with Papa Johns and Gladfelter

Ben Smith's prompt...
ReplyDeleteOne stock that we invested in is Papa John's Pizza. Since the time we purchased the stocks it has consistently been going up making us at times over 3,000 dollars. We invested and believe the reason for this spike in the stocks price per share is due to the fact that NFL and college football is in full swing. With the new contract of Peyton Manning signing to sponsor the company the sales have gone up dramatically with people getting chances to win free pizza if ordered on Sunday and a chance to win a trip to Superbowl 50 people are really purchasing the pizza increasing the sale numbers and increasing the price per share.
1. An impact to Apple was when the I-Phone 6 and 6+ was found that they bend. The people didn't like that and the stocks went straight down and we lost money.

ReplyDeleteOne stock that really gone up since we invested in it is papa johns pizza. It is currently making us over 3,000 dollars. There could be many reasons for this, but I think that the main reason is because it is football season. Peyton Manning is on their commercials and it they are usually played during football games, so people watching football will buy a pizza and then their stock will go up.
2. A product we were invested in was Coke and we bought it when the stock was down so it was cheap but then it kept going down and now it is finally coming back up.

Account Holdings: We have stocks in google, Visa, Proctor and Gamble, and Pandora
Feelings:
We are feeling good about our portfolio at this time. Our visa stock has continued to make a profit and we are thinking it will improve with everyone using Visa for Christmas shopping. We are disappointed that we have lost $301.46 in Pandora stock, but we aren’t planning on selling it.
Changes:
We want to see a profit with Pandora and the PBYI stocks. We aren’t going to sell any stocks until the end of the game. We would also like our Visa stock to continue to go up with the season, as well as our Proctor and Gamble stock.
Dani Writing Prompt:
Our portfolio is very diversified as we have stocks and bonds. Our stocks include Visa, Proctor and Gamble, Walgreen's, a health care stock and a gun company. It is important to diversify so that if one type of service area falls on the stock market you still have other companies that you are invested in. We tried to invest in companies such as Visa that consumers always use and will use even more frequently as Christmas shopping occurs. I dont think we could have diversified much more because we have food, technology, health, consumer goods, and weapon stocks. We are pretty happy with the stocks that we have.

At this point our stocks aren't doing as well as we had hoped. Some of the stocks are up and some are down. For now we can only continue buying stocks and begin selling them. We would like to be seeing all of our stocks going up, but unfortunately that's not always the case
