3. 6. You may sell 1 stock and buy another. Your “stock broker” (teacher) will charge you $25.00 each time you buy or sell stock. If you sell all your stock in one day, you will be charged $25. If you sell 1 share of stock, you will be charged $25. You will need to close out the initial stock and start recording the new stock on the next day. Use the Stock Replacement Form on page 32 to record any stocks you sell and the stock(s) you buy in its place. Record the stock’s name, the date you sold it, how many shares you sold, how much you sold them for, and the total amount of money you earned by selling them. Finally, record the new stock you bought and the price you paid for it. Trading Your Stocks Figuring Profit and Loss 7. To determine your profits (and hopefully not your losses), you will complete the Final Investment Summary on page 33. You will be dealing with fractions, so be careful when you do the math! You will subtract your closing price from the last day of your project from the closing price of the first day. Then multiply by the number of shares of stock, and get your profit (or loss). Don’t forget to deduct the broker fee for the final sale.
