What stocks are more valuable than others?
What should you or should you not invest in
Start investing early
Gives your stock more time to mature
You may have more favorable results in the long rung

Understand and know the basic vocabulary and terms related to stock trading!
Make sure you are trading stock based on what is increasing in value
Although this is just a game, and no “real” stocks are being traded, it’s always essential to do your research first. When your money, or someone else’s money is on the line, it is very important that you understand all of the moving parts of the stock market. You need to make sure that you’re making the correct investments and that you are investing in favor of your client (or yourself if you are investing your own money). Even though this is a game and it may have benefited you by investing late in the semester, the earlier and longer you invest may have more favorable results.

Portofolio Graph
Talk about the graph. We started late so that is why there is a very large decline. Our return rate was going up and down between 40-70 % and the blue line means SP stands for S&P 500. ETF = exchange traded funds.
