when I walked in the room this time I was handed a stack of chips. there was a table that we sat down at and played blackjack. everyone had to play at least four hands. I played more then four and lost half of my money. it was ok I never got the cards I needed to win. I made small bets and never went all in. this kept me from losing every thing. most people had small bets and didn't win but there was some people who bet it all and won. it was fun and a good activity.

I bought apple as a trade. I am waiting for a day after the new ipad comes out to sell it. I hope it goes up sixty dollars. when it does i am going to sell. I have look at its history and it spikes every October. it spikes then because they release something new. they released there ipad and it went up so I sold it. I bought Chesapeake energy because it was a investment. it has a growth over time and has slowly risen in the last few years. I plan to make al least 200 dollars on it and get my money off the table.

The difference between trade and investment is the time frame. A trade is just a quick flip. a investment Is a long term put money in and let it grow. in a trade you wait for a event to spark it to spike then you sell. in a investment you look for growth over a long time and let you money grow

I walked in the room and there was candy and junk everywhere. The lights where out and it was very loud. there was a real stock exchange on the projector. every one was grabbing things and some already had lots. I grabbed lots of twizzlers and jolly ranchers. It was a mad dash for all the cash that was on the floor. It was a stock market but the stocks where candy. I started out with three twizzlers twenty dollars and a few jolly ranchers. Every two minutes there was a update which could be anything from the suckers just went up to the head of sweetarts is going bankrupt. There was clues all over the floor. I picked one up and after I looked at it I sold it for cash. there was many people that were trying to get more right off the bat. they would sell for more than there candy was worth in hope they would go up. this went on for the whole class until the market closed. after I closed some people had close to eight grand. I only had two but had started out with not as much. My growth was a lot more even though the end wasn't much.
