 * As captain of the Stock Market Masters, I checked our stock daily. I made new updates to the group and made sure everyone was at the same spot of the game. Everyone did a good job on watching our stock. We played the game really safe. I realized that the stock market is a very risky business. You never know if your going to lose or gain money. The game was very confusing to me at first! I never knew how confusing stock can really get. Once I got the hang of it though, we started seeing results. If i had another 10 weeks to do this game, I would have done it totally different. I would of had us take huge risks, and really put it all out there. For this game, I didn't want us to lose alot of money, and we all agreed. We took it easy and bought new stock rarely. I wish we would have taken the chance to earn more money, but the game was a good experience either way. i was just glad we didn't lose more money than we had in the first place! **

On Feb. 17, I made our first purchase of MKC. It was $37.09 a share and I got us 500. The next day I bought CPB at $33.50. I got another 500 of those. For a few days we looke for other stocks and on the 23rd we finally bought HWK for $19.03 and got 350 shares. We then waited it out and watched how well our stocks were doing. Renee then suggested we buy RCII. I bought us 300 shares of it at $22.25 on March 3rd. We wanted to see how much money we could get from these few stocks becasue they were ranked really good in the game. On March 22 we then discussed to but ATML. It was a low price and we just wanted to make a little more money, so we bought 120 shares of it at $5.09. The next day I was absent, but my team felt it was a good idea to buy two more good stocks. 120 shares of GOOG and 100 shares of BIDU. GOOG cost us $547.22 a share and BIDU cost us $598.02, but they felt it was worth it and I stuck behind them.
