While we knew the basics of how the stock market work none of us had much experience in buying and selling stocks. Not wanting to risk losing money for our teammates and also lose the game in the first we of we started by buying medium amounts of stocks that were perceived as safe stocks. Some Sticks that are perceived as safe by most people are for example, Apple, Pepsi, and Netflix. They are big well- established companies in the market and a downfall or a sudden huge loss in price seemed unlikely. One scenario that ended up working out and had an unexpected high return was the Ryder Dow 2x strategy fund. Our logic was that the we thought mutual funds are deemed to a safe option. They offer a low risk-low return with the possibility of some return to be made. Ryder Dow 2x is a mutual fund that puts its money in Dow companies so if the Dow is going up it goes up, if the Dow goes down it goes down. There are two classes of this stock, A which has a high risk and a C which is lower in risk. We put our money in the less risky, less of a return class C stock. Fortunately for us the Dow was going up at the time. At first we bought a small amount some 10,000 dollars saw the Dow and the fund were skyrocketing up then went all in and bought 225,000 dollars worth at 39 dollars a share this was our first substantial purchase of the game. The other companies, Apple, Pepsi, and Netflix were bought for a medium amount and produced exactly non aggressive gains of $4000 and $3000. Which is great for a week. Those gains are a lot of money for most people during a 2 week span.
The stock market at this point seemed to be producing great returns all across the board. The Dow was at a high point at over 17,000. It seemed likely that the Dow was going to go down eventually maybe not that day but with in the next couple weeks. Therefore, we sold the mutual fund for a extraordinarily high return of $11,000. (idk the percentage of return we made on it) This was unexpected because we did not know that a mutual fund could provide such a high rate of return. When we did a closer examination of the fund it actually has produced a decent rate of return of 5% over the last decade and 13.5% over the last 3 years. It was great to learn that mutual funds which are supposedly one of safest things to invest in can yield high returns. Mutual funds can be more than something that you just put your money into and hope to gain a 2% return they can be very profitable. I’m glad that we learned this as a group, with this knowledge maybe in the future one of us will invest in mutual funds.
What the Stock Market Has Done for Her Business
This exchange made me realize that I never actually had to buy a stock of any kind. That was when I first started investing because I thought it was a great idea and I thought it would be just great for business! Since then I’ve been building up my portfolio so I’m keeping those investments around, keeping a check list so I have a good idea on what kind of investment I’m looking for when I buy a stock. What’s always been missing from mutual funds, is that a mutual fund can make good money for you.
This is your start of investing a real investment portfolio. And when you have a good idea on what kind of portfolio a mutual fund should be, it starts making a lot of money for you. That said, it is good for you to know when you’re probably going to start investing in a mutual fund. When I first set foot on a mutual fund, I had no idea how I would have made that investment portfolio without knowing their underlying principles. Not that your first investment strategy is necessarily something you need to know and you certainly want a good starting point. I would recommend you try to start with a fund you have thought too much but have invested and learn a few good lessons so that you can focus more on real questions.
What You Do in Your New Life Now
You can learn a wealth of things about someone else but they will never know who else you are. What you do in your new life means is that you gain an understanding of yourself and how you behave as a human being. This is an important part of investing and I’m really glad we learned this lesson.
What They Believe
When someone has more perspective regarding things and their own personal perspective to their life, that can be a good first step to investing. You’ll see other investors come to the same conclusion from this example and learn from them.
