Two four-week stock simulations were performed get to know the stock market and get trading experiences. Different trading methods were investigated and Buy-and-Hold and Swing Trading methods were chosen for the simulations. Each of the two simulations started with an investment of $100,000. The Buy-and-Hold simulation ended with $100,442.85 cash, a 0.42% of total profit. The Swing trade simulation ended with $89,662.40, a considerable loss of 10.77%. Even though the results were imperfect, this project helped the participants to gain a better understanding of the stock market and valuable experiences in stock trading.
