Stocks

In Language Arts for the last few months, we have been keeping track of some stocks that we picked. I learned that you have to be very careful on which companies you choose to invest in. This is very important because if you choose a smaller company, then you might not gain as much money. Though, you will also not lose as much money if you invest in a smaller company. In addition, I learned that to earn a lot of money with stocks, you have to invest for a long period of time. In the end, I think that investing in stocks is a good investment if you do it for a long time.

We each picked about 5-6 different stocks. These are the stocks that i picked and why. 

Amazon – a lot of people use this so I new the numbers would be high. Barnes & Noble – I chose this because I love Barnes & noble Pinterest – during Covid people use online stuff
Tesla – a lot of people are buying these now
Nvidia – this is what my dad uses for our movies so I decided to check out it’s stocks
Disney – people love Disney so I chose it

Do stocks interest YOU? At the start you might not think so but once you get into them, it is really fun. You might not want to invest but just look at some of the stocks now and then look back at them in a week or so. See what you notice!
