Stock Market Quote

Tonight Mason and Franklin were choosing their stocks for the Stock Market Game. They had to go online and research the stocks. Part of looking at the different companies was finding their ticker symbol used on the NYSE.

They get $100,000 to invest. (Imaginary money - oh, well!) They compete against teams nationwide to see who will get the highest return from their choices.

Of course, this is very new to all of us. The terms will take some time to learn. Tonight while Franklin was looking up his company, he said, "Mom the tickle symbol is BBY."

Now, that comment tickled me! Ha-ha!

PS - As of today 10-16-07, their Stock Market Team is placed 16 out of 102 team in East Tennessee!! Wow!!

PS - On 11-2-07, their Stock Market Team has moved into 4th place. However, now there are 134 teams competing. 4th out of 134!! Whoa!! I wish they had invested money for us!

PS - On 11-19-07, their Stock Market Team was in 46th place. Whew! Glad they didn't invest for us!
