The Stock Market Game - Buying Stocks

Once you have decided to invest in a stock you need to: 1.Know the rules for investing 2.Know the ticker symbol for your stock 3.Calculate how many shares you wish to buy 4.Place an order to buy the stock 5.Check the results How to buy stocks…

There are a lot of rules, but the key rules are: –You must buy at least 100 shares of a stock. –You must invest in at least 4 different stocks –You cannot invest more than $60,000 in any one stock. –The stock price must be over $5 a share Rules

Ticker symbols are 3-4 letters and define the stock You can find the ticker symbol on finance.yahoo.com –Search for the company –See the ticker Ticker Symbols

Dont simply buy 100 shares of every stock! Stock prices vary widely: Walmart (WMT) is ~$70 per share – 100 shares is $7,000 Apple is (AAPL) is ~$430 per share – 100 shares is $43,000 Decide how much money you wish to invest and calculate the number of shares. –You have $200,000 to spend! If you spend it $7,000 at a time then you will need to invest in 28 companies. –Once you know how much you want to invest, divide it by the share price (finance.yahoo.com) and buy that many shares! If I want to put $20,000 into Walmart I would buy 20,000/60 = 333 shares Calculating the Number of Shares to Buy
