This probably would have changed my stock market investment. It would have because with this investment, depending on how many shares we bought, we may have gotten an even higher placing in the game.

Yes this would have changed my stock market investment. It would change it depending on how many shares we bought.

Maybe, we picked our stocks based on what we found online in articles of good companies to invest in so if we saw it listed and it really did look like a good stock we'd have bought it, but if not oh well.

I would have totally changed my stocks after this, a little to late now, but that would have won it for me.

This would have changed my investment choices. We mostly chose our stocks based on charts and information we found online. Maybe choosing better would have better our chances of winning.

I believe that this would change my stock market game investments because if I would have bought a few shares I probably would have a higher rank.

JacobRiceperiod1 said...

Reading this article shows me that we should have invested better. If we would have taken the time to buy a few more shares we could have at least ranked into the top ten bracket of the class.

Krista House said...

I think that if I would've bought a Facebook stock, then I would probably have a higher rank in the game because they are doing very well. This probably would've put me higher in the game.

brian johnson said...

that most likely would have changed my stock market investments.it would of effected the number of shares that i bought.

It probably would have been a good idea to invest in some of Facebook's stocks. We would have done much better if we had invested some of our money into Facebook.

this would have changed my stock market investments. Face book would have helped me alot i came in 26th.

This would have not changed my investing in the game. The game for my partner and I was not just about winning. If everyone invested in the 'best' companies (apple) the game wouldn't have been as competitive as fun. Because this was just a game with fake money I tried to invest in some smaller high risk businesses for fun and my profit ended jumping around a lot, which was entertaining and a good learning experience for what those kind of stocks are actually like.

Though I don't believe Facebook should be publically traded. If I would've invested in Facebook it would've helped a lot.

Candace Lamb said...

It would've helped me alot! Ha Facebook would be one of the best stocks to buy! I believe we would've made more money and probably fought for 3rd. I wish Facebook would've been on that game! Haha:)

Yes, I think this would've changed my stock investment decisions. I think we would've done a lot better if we invested in Facebook & the amount of stocks we bought.

this might have changed my decisions in the stock game, like how many shares i bought in certain companies. but i dont think investing in facebook would have made a huge difference in my contest standing.

I feel that we would have invested in FB for a time, because I don't think Facebook should become public. In my opinion, a company that owns the personal information of millions of people shouldn't sell parts of it to the highest bidder. The initial release of the stock would undoubted gain a lot of money the first week, as does and hugely hyped stock (AAPL) but then considerably decline once people realize the problems with it.

Destiny Hammitt said...

Yes. I do think I would have invested in facebook. I did not realize how well it was doing in the stock market. I honestly didn't know it had a stock. My portfolio probably would have been worth more if I did invest in facebook.

Kyle Pheanis said...

I definately would had bought a facebook stock. It probably would had put us in the top 5 for sure. It would had changed my stock investment because im competitive and would had wanted to win.

SHowarth per.2 said...

I would have invested in facebook if i had known that it was doing so well. If I had invested in facebook, i might have gotten a better place, and if it were the real stock market with real profit, I would have been making a lot of money.

I believe that after reading this, that I would have invested in this. This may or may not have changed the place I came in because my partner & I came in 2nd place. The only information that we looked at on investing was the information online, so if we would have did other research then maybe we would have found out some information about Facebook.

kristen larson said...

im sure we would have done much better if we invested in facebook. i wish i would of looked to see how well t was doing and i probably would of invested in it.

TerryLovelace2 said...

This definitely would have changed my mind in the stock game. If I knew this, I would have invested a lot of money in it and hopefully would have came in a much higher place.

Brandon Rodriguez Per. 1 said...

yes it would have because it would have change our outcome even though we did good

Sierra Kelly - Period 1 said...

I do believe this would have changed my stocks. I did not do very good & if I would have known about this, depening on the amount of shares I would have bought, I could have done WAYY better & been higher on the contest status.

Katy Faulkner said...

Investing in Facebook would have changed my stock market investment, depending on how many shares I decided to buy.

JDailey 2 said...

I guess I could have invested in Facebook but what I had going on was good enough to take first so I doesn't really matter to me.

Aidan2 said...

I would have invested on Facebook and got a few stocks. Facebook is a very popular thing that everyone has. If we could have invested in this for the game, we would have been higher.

bhickman1 said...

This article makes me want to totally rethink the stocks I bought. I now know I should have invested my stocks differently . I should have invested in facebook because lots of people use it and its a high stock to invest in. I would have been way higher in the game if I did so and was a little bit smarter

baileyjohnston2 said...

If I could do the stock game over again, I would have invested more in Facebook. I didn't know you could invest in a social network but it would have been a smart thing to do because they're popular.

Vada Edwards said...

No, I wouldn't change anything at all. I thought I made some good investment and some bad investments, but overall made a good profit. I didn't go for what the trend of the time was, but what people need or mainly want in their life. I wish I had a little more time to see how much my stocks could have actually grown. We went from 17th to 5th place in 2 days so...yeah.

Haley Kroger period 1 said...

I definitely think this would have changed my stock market investment. I would have gained more money and I would have ranked higher in the game. Facebook is very popular so I believe investing in it would be wise and would help a lot.

Matt Current P1 said...

It definately would have changed our stock market market investment because most of our other investments went down.

Tiffani Smallwood said...

I definately would have changed my stock market investment because I would have gained more money and I would have been in a higher placement than what I got. I should have invested in Facebook but I really didn't think that the stock would have had a big impact like it did.

CaseyMays08 said...

If I was to do the stock market game again I would consider in investing in Facebook. Even though I got 8th, I think that I did a good job at picking what stocks I wanted to invest in. With Facebook being popular and well known, I could have gained a lot of money.

Cameron Everage prd1 said...

This would have changed my investment because my stock purchases would have changed thus improving my rank in the game
