Tesla Simulation

406 Words2 Pages

In the beginning of this simulation I bought three different types of stock. I chose the stocks I did because I wanted to risk a lot, hoping to make a lot. I bought 5 shares of Tesla Motors stock for $205.29 per share, 4 Shares of Panera for 208.97 per share, and 1 Share of Johnson & Johnson for $106.54 per share. The $31.13 that I had left I put in a U.S. Treasury Bond. As you may noticed I bought some of the more expensive stocks, I did this because i thought that because they were more expensive the price would fluctuate more. I hoped it would work in my favor.

Towards the middle of the simulation I started to get worried because Tesla was down $20 per share, and Panera was down $10 per share. Luckily Johnson & Johnson was up $16 per share. Since Johnson & Johnson was a low risk stock and it was up $6 I decided to sell my 1 share for $112.54, profiting $6 on that stock. But sadly the other stocks were still down. I had not hit my stop loss limit yet and I did not want to give up so I hung on two the …show more content…

I had 5 shares so I made $30. I sold them at the end of the simulation and put it in the bank. Panera also came out on top growing $4 per share, it went from $208.97 to $212.97 per share. I had 4 shares so I made $16 there and I put it in the bank. I also had sold my Johnson & Johnson earlier growing $6 per share. It went from $106.54 to $112.54 per share. I made $6 there and put it in the bank. In the U.S. Treasury Bond I put in $31.13 came out with $31.22, making 9 cents. Overall I made $52.09 with a total of $2052.09 .

This simulation showed me how much stock fluctuates, And how you can make and lose a lot of money in one instant. But most importantly it taught me to relax when things were not going my way . It taught me to hang on. This simulation gt me very interested in stocks. This was a very good life lesson that the people of the1920’s learned the hard

Leonid Fridman’s passage “America Needs Its Nerds” examines how intelligent people are disgraced for being interested in academics. Fridman argues that “nerds and geeks must stop being ashamed of who they are” through effective comparisons and a repetition of ideas to inform the citizens of America about the importance of smart minds. Furthermore, Fridman reiterates the concept of nerds being viewed differently compared to others in the first half of the passage. The author implied that society favored people who focused less on academic activities and more on being social or active.

stocks and bonds. Using the speculation tax as a revenue source, an estimate of more than $150 billion can be raised within a year (Turbeville). Per contra, Tuberville states that FST will increase the cost of trades, discourage short-term trades rather than long-term investments all the while reducing the “profitability of high-frequency trading” and increasing market volatility because a computerized trading system can freely enter and exit the market. Moreover, the transaction tax will ramp up the cost of capital and “thereby reduce investment and growth” while increasing unemployment rate (Baker). John and Dubay also add that the financial transaction taxes thousands of high-waging jobs and drive a portion of an industry overseas.

Frederick MacCauley documented that fluctuations of the stock market is analogous to the chance curve that could be obtained by throwing a dice (MacCauley, 1925). Oliver (1926) and Mills (1927) provided evidence that the distribution of stock returns is leptokurtic in nature. Random movement and inability to predict stocks prices is found in a number of studies during 1920s and 1930s. Cowles (1933) analyzed stock price prediction made by the 45 representatives of financial agencies during 1928 to 1932 and found that forecasters cannot forecast movement of stock markets. Working (1934) mentioned that stock return behaved like a number in the lottery.

With investing, it’s the opposite: the laziest people often reap the biggest rewards. If you are investing in a good company – if its earnings and dividends continue to rise year after year – there’s probably no reason to sell it. If you feel the need to do something, I’ve found that reinvesting dividends – either in the same company or a different one – is a great way to scratch the
