might require you to do some outside work away from

 y now
you know that you are taking a 9 week Business/Stock Simulation Course.
What you didn't know is that your company will be granted a loan from a
local bank with the stipulation that the money only be invested in the
stock market. To get you started they have wired your bank account
$500,000.00
to invest. This money can help your company grow if you make the
right investments. You have to choose the company(s) you wish to
invest in and it might be a g ood idea to keep a diary of the weekly
price
of each of one or more of your stocks. You will be given a very limited
time throughout
the nine weeks to work on your portfolio. The rest of your time on
the stock market can be done from home or after you finish your daily assignments.
You can check your stocks before typing each day. There are questions that we will
answer as a class. These questions are located on the buttons on
the side menu that say Weeks 1-9.
