I just invested in some things that I liked and fortunately they were low at the time and I sold when they were high. I just look at the ones that are at their low point in the last 3 months and if they are then I purchase them because then I know they will go back up.
ReplyDeleteWell my stocks made a ton of money in the begining so I thought I was doing really well. But then I figured it went up so much I should probably just sell my stocks, so that is what I did and now I have like 9,000 dollars more but now I just have money sitting in the bank and I wish I would have kept my money in the stock it was in before. I have learned a lot about stocks and now I wish we could start over and I could re-invest my stocks and start over! Then I would be really rich right now!!!
ReplyDeleteI really haven't changed that much. All I do is go with the things that I go to like Wal-Mart or McDonalds. Then I just went for an expensive one that was on its way up so thats what I did.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started I picked what stores people use most.... and wanted to see how the stocks go up and down.. you can tell by what time of the years it is.. like when a holiday comes up the stock will rise..
ReplyDeleteMy investing has changed because I have started spending more money and buying more stocks. I think that I could make more money if I buy more instead of just letting it sit there. Information that made me think of buying more is websites. Also I think that Mac really gets me to thinking that I need to spend more money on my stocks. Also I watch the news and see what stocks are doing good or bad and if they are doing good then I might consider buying them. If I had to share an idea with the class then I would say that you shouldn't let your money just sit, because you could be earning money. But sometimes just letting it sit there could be good to.
ReplyDeleteI invested in a couple of companies that i thought would actually go up instead of down, and well thats not what happened. three of them have gone down but one has gone up a little bit, but not good enough. i have not sold any of my stocks, i am waiting to see if any of them go up, which i am hoping for. some advice is i would figure out what people really want and invest in those companies instead of something people dont really want or need.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really made any changes. I do think I need to, but it is hard to put your money in a place your not for sure your going to get anything out of it. But today is a new day I am going to buy so many stocks. I was just going to ride it out and see how everyone else is doing it. I figured out that I need to buy more so my money can do something. I'm not very good a spending money if I might not get anything out of it.
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning I listened to my brother, Well most of them were okay, except Pfizer and company, I figured alot of people would need that b/c of the H1N1, but it turned out that it wasn't the case. Now I'm looking at what events are coming up that people will need. I've gained the knowledge of secret tips and tricks of what to invest in.
ReplyDeleteI just invested in stuff that I use like McDonalds and Microsoft. I haven't changed any of my investments, but they have all went up. I have made about 5,000 more dollars.
ReplyDeleteMine hasn't changed much. I invested all my money in the first two days. I invested in things that I know. Like products I use places I go. I kind of just went with the flow and randomly picked things I like. I think my only strategy was invest all of my money and hope I got lucky lol. Things I have learned... to invest all of my money so I am making interest (or loosing, taking that chance) instead of keeping it the same in the bank. Also to think ahead in time so I know what will go up and what business will keep growing in the future
ReplyDeleteI invested in one company and another one that is going down. I am hoping that the one that is going down turns around. It has gone down about 3 dollars, but it went up today so i guess I am just going to ride it out.
