The Biggest Loser

The last month or so my class has been reading The Westing Game. In the book one of the characters named Turtle Wexler invested in a stock so in my class we invested in a stock. On the first day we set up our spreadsheet so when we checked our stocks we had somewhere to mark our findings. Then we invested in our stocks with fake money. I invested in Lululemon, Ulta, Target and Starbucks. At first my stocks were doing well but then all of my stocks started dropping! In the end I had lost $3086! I ended up being the biggest loser in my class and won a prize. This was my favorite project we did in 6th grade and I learned to not just invest in brands I liked.
