An Evaluation of my Stock Portfolio At the end of the simulation I had the six companies previously stated. They made me over 11,000 dollars in profit. In the end they performed exactly as I thought they would: very well. I’m the winner. Look I’m rolling in cash.
If I had to make a change… I would only get one well performing company so that I could have won by more money. Other that I wouldn’t change a thing.
The End: Thank you for suffering.
