I have never really thought of this before. I could possibly invest for the future. Through my experience in the Stock Market Game I have learned lots of new thing about stocks

I've never thought of investing before. I don't think I would invest for the future because it's pretty risky and I would just rather play it safe. If I play it safe, I'm guaranteed to have the money I need. The stock market game makes me personally not want to invest because I'm not doing so well, so I would like to keep my money and just save it the old fashion way.

I've never had any interest in investing, and I doubt I will do it in the future either. You can either be doing really well in the stock market, or really bad. I'd rather be secure in knowing that the money I have is the money I keep. Investing is too risky.

i dont ever want to invest in anything. when im older my money is gonna go to me and the things i need/want. investing is to risky and if i lost all my money i'd be flat broke & that would suck

I never really thought about investing before. However, in the future I doubt I will invest in anything because it is too risky and I would rather have the money I earn without a chance of losing it all because of an investment. It's just too high of a risk for me.

I have never really been interested in investing in the Stock Market.I don't think I'll ever consider investing because there is too much risk and I stress over things too much. The Stock Market game made me consider investing but it showed me how truly difficult it is to keep all your numbers up, and it's not my thing. I'd rather keep my money safe.

I have thought of investing before, and I probably will in the future. From the stock market game I learned that sometimes stocks can lose you a lot of money and others times it can earn you a lot of money.

i've invested in stupid stuff mostly, the biggest part is to my "trip to france" bank account, i also have bought several thousand "Magic the Gathering" cards, and i've had them appraised and they are worth almost twice what i put into them, not only that, but i have made a couple hundred dollars from playing and winning a few tournaments over the summer, magic is in my mind the best pass-time, you win money, you have fun, you test your knowledge, it really tests your tactics, in facing opponents with different decks and different tactics

I've thought about investing. I'd probably put it in penny stocks and just leave it there. In reality we've made maybe up to 12 percent on our stocks in the game, that really doesn't amount to MUCH more money than if I were to just pop it into a savings account... Conflicted...

When I was younger, my grandpa explained stocks to me. I always thought they were an interesting concept, but I wasn't really sure whether I wanted to invest money in companies that may or may not do well. In the stock game, I (with my partner) am currently in third place, and if that reflects how well I would do, then why not? I suppose we're not doing too shabby. Personally, I would like to keep my money. However, if there is a possibility that I could gain more money off of the money that I have, I might consider it. Why not?

Due to the stock market games i have been very influenced by his words and focused on what he is trying to tell us. Also people don't realize that there future is a major problem because if they don't focus on their future, then they will be screwed and will not know what to do. so i am pretty sure that this talk from him will help me out in the long run for sure.

Saving is really complicated when no stores will hire you because you're so young. It's difficult to build a nest-egg when you can't find any straw. We just have to do our best to trim stupid things out of our lives and save what little we do have.

i dont think i would ever invest in the stock market because anything could happen to either help you lose money or gain money. i personally believe that playing the guessing game everyday is not a fun thing to get into.

I have never actually thought of investing before. Investing for my future could be a possibility for me, but it's also a risky investment to make. I would rather know that the money i have isn't determining on the stock market changes.

i have thought about investing in the stock market before, but I would be too afraid of something bad happening to actually do it. but if your a rick taker, go right ahead. if i were ever to invest in something it would be in savings to secure my future. the stock market game has tought me a lot like it can change any second.

I never really though about this before . I never have thought about investing either . I dont think ill ever invest in a stock . I rather save my money from working . It just doesnt seem safe at all to invest and if i invest and loose all my money what am i going to do ? The game has showed me Im not meant to go in to stock marketing because i suck at it .

i have never really thought about investing, but i plan on doing it in the future. The only thing i don't like about the stock market is it's either really bad or really good, and it would just frustrate me, knowing i'm not secure with my money.

I have plenty of investments, and im rollin in the dough. Where da cash at, where da where da cash at. I'm already invested in the future, therefore, there is no point in me answering the second question. The stock market game made me realize im a boss (bag of social swag) at investing.

I have never really thought about this. But maybe it could happen for me im not really sure yet. And the game makes it seem really hard and it usually sounds pretty easy so i would have to think about a while to get my answer.

I have never thought of investing before, and I probably never will. The stock market game in class has showed me how easy it is to lose money in stocks, but its also easy to earn money.
