This project was a six-week stock market simulation. The goal of this project is to gain knowledge of the stock market (history and how it works) and apply that knowledge to make a successful profit over the course of the simulation. Two trading methods were utilized, these being the Buy and Hold strategy and the Swing Trading strategy. The trading platform used was Investopedia. Each method had a corresponding portfolio which each contained stocks from five companies. At the end of the simulation, the buy and hold strategy lost 4.4% while the Swing Trading strategy lost only 1.7%. This project provided the participants with trading experience which will be helpful for future investments.
