Activity : Virtual investing
Choose one company that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and imagine you will “purchase” 100 shares of its stock at the current price. Write down the price you would pay if you were actually to make the purchase. Now, keep track of the change in its price each day over the next four weeks and chart these changes on a line graph. Starting at the beginning of the third week, you have the option of “selling” your shares whenever you wish, or holding on to them.
At the four-week anniversary of your purchase of the stock, calculate how much money you made or lost. Could you have made more — or lost less — if you had sold at a different time?
