I have yet to buy a trade but I'm wanting to trade a toy company, and have the catalyst be Christmas.
My investment is Marathon Oil. My dividend is 75 cents a year per stock. so if you own 1000 stocks you would make $750. Marathon Oil has been around since 1887 and has been making energy worldwide.

The game black jack was easy to pick up after I watched the first hand. When I walked into class I was confused at first what was going on and then I picked it up fast. This help me learn not to let my emotions get in the way when dealing with stock.

The difference between Trade and an Investment is a trade is short or shorter then six months. An investment is long term or lasts more then six months. In trade you look for a catalyst, which will tell if the stock needs to be sold or kept. An investment can pay a dividend, which is a portion of money the company has left over after their overhead is paid that they give to stock holders. When a stock decreases in an investment, you can either sell the stock, or buy more of the same stock lowering you the price per stock. When a stock decreases in a trade, you can wait for your catalyst to happen and if already has then you can sell the stock. Short sell is when you borrow stocks from a company and you sale the stocks for your own gain. Then you replace the stocks you borrowed but keep the gain.

On Thursday our class did a game which our teacher had us stay outside the doors of the class room and when he was ready let all the kids in. We had to pick up different types of candy and play money. Some of the play money had tip or information about the game like which candy will join with another brand or which ones might crash. All this going on at once with the lights off and all the loud noises like Mr. Kapptie saying what prices are changing and the kids all trying to exchange candies in order to make money. At the end of the class we had to count up how much we made and the kid with the most made got class cash.

My project is about making like a half way house for kids so that they have a place to go. I have called a couple of people that know about the court system and group homes so i could get information about what would be the best way to go about it. I have also look into what would you need in order to do this. For the month of October I'm going to be looking at what would be the qualifications that would be needed in order to have this happen.
